In Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) large serial data can be converted into parallel data stream. Each parallel block can be transmitted with orthogonal carriers. If the spectrum is not utilized effectively then more number of carriers can be used in wireless applications, but increasing the carriers leads to radiation effect in environment. To reduce the radiation effect, spectrum should be effectively utilized. Effective utilization of electromagnetic spectrum for the unlicensed users to use the licensed spectrum, white spaces i.e. unused frequency bands need to be detected by dynamic spectrum access in Cognitive Radio(CR) .In this paper two spectrum sensing techniques are proposed ,they are energy detection with Wavelet transform and Cyclostationarity sensing.
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.
