Abstract:The invention of cognitive radio concept is aimed to overcome the spectral scarcity issues of emerging radio systems by exploiting under-utilization of licensed spectrum. As the cognitive users (secondary users) are only allowed to use a licensed spectrum in the absence of its rightful owner, the ability to accurately sense the presence of the rightful owners (primary users) is highly essential. The traditional way of having individual secondary users perform their own spectrum sensing is vulnerable to the pre… Show more
