Paper focuses on the spectrum sensing for cognitive radio solutions. The new algorithm is proposed for burst signal detection in frequency band where only this type of primary user signal appears (e.g. GSM band). Proposed spectrum sensor use signal energy and standard deviation estimates for primary user signal detection. A single perceptron is proposed to define a threshold for spectrum sensor. To investigate the efficiency of proposed spectrum sensor the real environment measurements were performed in the frequency band used by GSM system for downlink. An additional analysis of the signal energy estimates showed the periodicity of the energy changes in time domain. The calculation of FFT for signal energy changes in time has proven the performance of proposed spectrum detector for low power (situated far away from spectrum sensor) primary user signal detection in situations where it is covered by environment noise.
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.
