- The document discusses using a sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) for sparse signal detection from compressed measurements. SPRT allows observations to continue until sufficient evidence is accumulated to decide between two hypotheses.
- It outlines how to apply SPRT to the problem by deriving the likelihood ratio test statistic and decision thresholds based on desired false alarm and detection probabilities. Performance is characterized by bounding the probability of error based on properties of compressed sensing measurements.
- Simulation results show decreasing decision time with higher compression ratios and numbers of observations, consistent with theoretical predictions. Future work includes refining the analysis and extending it to random sparse signals.
