In this article we generalize the concept of the SRL to the multidimensional SRL MSRL applied to the multidimensional harmonic retrieval model. In this article we derive the SRL for the so-called multidimensional harmonic retrieval model using a generalization of the previously introduced SRL concepts that we call multidimensional SRL MSRL . We first derive the MSRL using an hypothesis test approach. This statistical test is shown to be asymptotically an uniformly most powerful test which is the strongest optimality statement that one could expect to obtain. Second we link the proposed asymptotic MSRL based on the hypothesis test approach to a new extension of the SRL based on the Cramér-Rao Bound approach. Thus a closed-form expression of the asymptotic MSRL is given and analyzed in the framework of the multidimensional harmonic retrieval model. Particularly it is proved that the optimal MSRL is obtained for equi-powered sources and or an equi-distributed number of sensors on each multi-way array.
