Analysis of area under the ROC curve of energy detection

Abstract

Abstract-A simple figure of merit to describe the performance of an energy detector is desirable. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, denoted (AUC), is such a measure, which varies between , and it increases to one as the detector performance improves. However, in the wireless literature, the AUC measure has gone unnoticed. In this paper, to address this gap, we comprehensively analyze the AUC of an energy detector with nodiversity reception and with several popular diversity schemes. The channel model is assumed to be Nakagami-fading. First, the average AUC is derived for the case of no-diversity reception. Second, the average AUC is derived for diversity reception cases including maximal ratio combining (MRC), square-law combining (SLC) and selection combining (SC). Further, for Rayleigh fading channels, the impacts of channel estimation errors and fading correlations are analyzed. High SNR (signalto-noise ratio) approximations and the detection diversity gain are also derived. The analytical results are verified by numerical computations and by Monte-Carlo simulations.Index Terms-Area under the curve, energy detection, receiver operating characteristic (ROC).

“…Nevertheless, for small vectors sizes, 50 and 100 are better than 250 threads per block. However, the maximum processed vector size is reduced, due to the limitation of maximum blocks number on calculation Grid, according to equation (6) _ _ = * (6) Furthermore, according to the Neyman Pearson criterion (Atapattu, Tellambura, & Jiang, 2010), maximizing the captured samples number improves the energy detector performance.
