Abstract:The problem of efficient hardware implementation of a reliable spectrum sensing method is crucial for the practical realization of the cognitive radio terminal. This paper analyses the influence of various hardware implementation issues on the performance of the sequential energy-detection-based spectrum sensing algorithm. In particular, the necessity of noise inclusion in noise variance estimation is discussed. Furthermore, based on the experiments conducted with the USRP N210 board used for the detection of … Show more
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.
