Nomenclature
τ A track as well as the potential target being tracked by this track.
mk The number of selected measurements at scan k.
L The number of signal propagation paths in the OTHR system.
φτ,max The maximum number of target-originated measurements, which satisfies φτ,max=min(L,mk).
φτ The number of target originated measurements φτ1,2,,φτ,max.
nφτ A variable that enumerates the measurement cells under the condition that there are φτ measurements generated by target τ, nφτ1,2,,cφτ and cφτ=Cφτmk=mk!φτ!mkφτ!.
zφτ,nφτ(k) A measurement cell specified by φτ and nφτ at scan k.
χkτ The event that target τ exists at scan k.
