Comparison of Single User with Multi User Cooperative Spectrum Sensing for Energy Detector at Low SNR Wall
Abstract With rapidly increasing demand in wireless communication, available licensed spectrum resources should be utilized efficiently and actively. Cognitive radio is a device which learns from surrounding environment and transmit its signal when license spectrum is unutilized. Spectrum sensing is the need for Cognitive radio. In this paper, Energy detector is implemented though MATLAB software for single and multiusers. Region of Convergence (ROC) curve is plotted for both normal ED and Cooperative spectrum sensing ED. Results show while increasing number of samples from 1k to 100k, probability of detection is also achieved 0.9 maximum. Increasing SNR from -20dB, -15dB to -10 dB, probability of detection is improved in ROC curve. Also cooperative spectrum sensing with OR rule gives good probability of detection 0.9 to 1.
