A New Technique

Spectrum sensing techniques are used for aquising the frequency spectrum in cognitive radio. From research, the efficiency of the spectrum sensing technique increases only if its complexity is increased and if its complexity is decreased then its efficiency decreases. so, a new technique is proposed in this paper based on Dispersion Detection (DD) to balance both complexity and efficiency. Using this detection technique, the false alarm probability is derived for multiple antenna using test statistic distribution. The decision threshold is derived to provide the accurate results. The derived values are verified with Monto Carlo simulation.

Challenging Tasks

Spectrum Sensing (SS) is an important function in Cognitive Radio (CR) to detect primary users. The design of SS algorithms is one of the most challenging tasks in CR and requires innovative hardware and software solutions to enhance detection probability and minimize low false alarm probability. Although several SS algorithms have been developed in the specialized literature, limited work has been done to practically demonstrate the feasibility of this function on platforms with significant computational and hardware constraints. In this paper, SS is demonstrated using a low cost TV tuner as agile front-end for sensing a large portion of the Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) spectrum. The problems encountered and the limitations imposed by the front-end are analysed along with the solutions adopted. Finally, the spectrum sensor developed is implemented on an Android device and SS implementation is demonstrated using a smartphone.

In this paper, we propose a reliable spectrum sensing strategy based on multiple-antenna technique, called RSS-MAT, to combat the channel uncertainties. We derive the closed-form expressions of the false alarm probability and detection probability for RSS-MAT. Finally, we present simulation results to validate our performance analysis. As expected, the simulation results show that RSS-MAT outperforms the spectrum sensing strategy with single antenna.

A New Technique

this  paper  develops  a  spectrum  sensing technique using multiple antenna and energy detector in cognitive  radio.  The  conventional  spectrum  sensing techniques  using  multiple  antennas  such  as  maximum ratio  processing  (MRP),  Equal  Gain  Combining (EGC)…  require  channel  state  information  (CSI)  to combine  received signal at each antenna. In practice, it is complicate and requires time to obtain CSI. Recently, some  methods  performing  spectrum  sensing  without CSI  have  been  proposed.  However,  these  methods  do not  bring  desired  results  compared  with  the conventional techniques using CSI. In our research, we propose  a  new  technique  without  requiring  CSI  to combine  signals from  multiple  antennas.  The  proposed technique  brings  good  results  compared  to  the  other conventional  techniques  requiring  CSI  like  EGC.  In addition,  we  do  not  assume  exact  parameters  of  signal and noise in our simulation. The samples at the receiver are used for two purposes: estimating these parameters of noise and signal and performing spectrum sensing

<p>Cognitive Radio has been skillful technology to improve the spectrum sensing as it enables Cognitive Radio to find Primary User (PU) and let secondary User (SU) to utilize the spectrum holes. However detection of PU leads to longer sensing time and interference. Spectrum sensing is done in specific “time frame” and it is further divided into Sensing time and transmission time. Higher the sensing time better will be detection and lesser will be the probability of false alarm. So optimization technique is highly required to address the issue of trade-off between sensing time and throughput. This paper proposed an application of Genetic Algorithm technique for spectrum sensing in cognitive radio. Here results shows that ROC curve of GA is better than PSO in terms of normalized throughput and sensing time. The parameters that are evaluated are throughput, probability of false alarm, sensing time, cost and iteration.</p>

Influence Of Noise

Spectrum sensing is the key functionality for dynamic spectrum access in cognitive radio networks. Energy detection is one of the most popular spectrum sensing methods due to its low complexity and easy implementation. However, performance of the energy detector is susceptible to uncertainty in noise power. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes an effective spectrum sensing method based on correlation coefficient. The proposed method utilizes a single receiving antenna with a delay device to acquire the original received signal and the delayed signal. Then the correlation coefficient of the two signals is computed and the result is used as the test statistic. Theoretical analysis shows that the decision threshold is unrelated to noise power, thus the proposed approach can effectively overcome the influence of noise power uncertainty. Simulation results testify the effectiveness of the proposed method even in low signal-to-noise (SNR) conditions.

This chapter provides a deep insight into multiple antenna eigenvalue-based spectrum sensing algorithms from a complexity perspective. A review of eigenvalue-based spectrum-sensing algorithms is provided. The chapter presents a finite computational complexity analysis in terms of Floating Point Operations (flop) and a comparison of the Maximum-to-Minimum Eigenvalue (MME) detector and a simplified variant of the Multiple Beam forming detector as well as the Approximated MME method. Constant False Alarm Performances (CFAR) are presented to emphasize the complexity-reliability tradeoff within the spectrum-sensing problem, given the strong requirements on the sensing duration and the detection performance.

Noise Receiver

In energy detection for cognitive radio spectrum sensing, the noise variance is usually assumed given, by which a threshold is set to guarantee a desired constant false alarm rate (CFAR) or a constant detection rate (CDR). However, in practical situations, the exact information of noise variance is generally unavailable to a certain extent due to the fact that the total noise consists of time-varying thermal noise, receiver noise, and environmental noise, etc. Hence, setting the thresholds by using an estimated noise variance may result in different false alarm probabilities from the desired ones. In this paper, we analyze the basic statistical properties of the false alarm probability by using estimated noise variance, and propose a method to obtain more suitable CFAR thresholds for energy detection. Specifically, we first come up with explicit descriptions on the expectations of the resultant probability, and then analyze the upper bounds of their variance. Based on these theoretical preparations, a new method for precisely obtaining the CFAR thresholds is proposed in order to assure that the expected false alarm probability can be as close to the predetermined as possible. All analytical results derived in this paper are testified by corresponding numerical experiments.

Sensing strategy directly influences the sensing accuracy of a spectrum sensing scheme. As a result, the optimization of a sensing strategy appears to be of great significance for accuracy improvement in spectrum sensing. Motivated by this, a novel sensing strategy is proposed in this paper, where an improved tradeoff among detection probability, false-alarm probability and available throughput is obtained based on the energy detector. We provide the optimal sensing performance and exhibit its superiority in theory compared with the classical scheme. Finally, simulations validate the conclusions drawn in this paper.
