Abstract-The performance of cognitive radio network mainly depends on the finest sensing of the presence or absence of Primary User (PU). The throughput of a Secondary User (SU) can be reduced because of the false detection of PU which causes an SU from its transmission opportunity. The factorization of the probability of correct decision is a really hard job when the special false alarm is incorporated into it. Previous works focus on collaborative sensing on the normal environment. In this paper, we have proposed a collaborative sensing method in Cognitive radio network for optimal access of PU licensed band by SU. It is shown performance analysis of energy detection through different cognitive users and conducts a clear comparison between local and collaborative sensing.In this paper, the maximal ratio combining diversity technique with energy detection has been employed to reduce the false alarm probability in the collaborative environment. The simulation result showssignificant reduction of the probability of misdetection with increasing in the number of collaborative users.We also analyze that MRC scheme exhibits the best detection performance in collaborative environment.
Abstract-The most important component of Cognitive RadioNetwork (CRN) is to sense the underutilised spectrum efficiently in fading environment for incorporating the increasing demand of wireless applications. The result of spectrum sensing can be affected by incorrect detection of the existence of Primary User (PU). In this paper, we have considered Collaborative spectrum sensing to maximise the spectrum utilisation of Cognitive Radio (CR) user. We proposed a new architecture and algorithm that shows the step by step spectrum sensing procedure using Energy detection and Bayesian detection in collaborative environment for an optimal number of users. This algorithm also includes Maximal Ratio Combining (MRC) diversity techniques in fusion centre to make a final decision under fading condition. The simulation result shows the significant optimisation of detection performance with less misdetection for large number of users. It is also observed that MRC produces better results in collaborative manner under Nakagami-m, Rayleigh and Normal fading. Finally in this paper, we have analysed the relative performance of different wireless channels for various SNR levels and from that analysis it concludes that ED technique works better in high SNR and BD technique works for low SNR.
