A distributed detection system is considered that consists of a number of independent local detectors and a fusion center. The decision statistics and performance characteristics (i.e. the false alarm probabilities and detection probabilities) of the local detectors are assumed as given. Communication is assumed only between each local detector and the fusion center and is one-way from the former to the latter. The fusion center receives decisions from the local detectors and combines them for a global decision. Instead of a one-bit hard decision, the authors propose that each local detector provides the fusion center with multiple-bit decision value which represents its decision and, conceptually, its degree of confidence on that decision. Generating a multiple-bit local decision entails a subpartitioning of the local decision space the optimization of which is studied. It is shown that the proposed system significantly outperforms one in which each local detector provides only a hard decision. Based on optimum subpartitioning of local decision space, the detection performance is shown to increase monotonically with the number of partitions.<>
