In radiomobile contexte, radio frequency spectrum is a ressource that needs to be used with appropriate efficiency. This can be achieved by the mean of spectrum sensing operation. This function consists to analyze the occupancy of the radio frequency spectrum in order to detect which bands are unused. This concept is largely appreciated in cognitive radio where more flexibility is required to adapt to the communication environment. Different techniques are presented in the literature. In this paper, we are interested by the application of the energy detector method for spectrum sensing. This application is performed in cognitive radio systems with the use of random sampling. The performance of this approach is evaluated in term of its receiver operating characteristic curve and compared to the uniform sampling case.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
