Spectrum sensing is the key functionality for dynamic spectrum access in cognitive radio networks. Energy detection is one of the most popular spectrum sensing methods due to its low complexity and easy implementation. However, performance of the energy detector is susceptible to uncertainty in noise power. To overcome this problem, this paper proposes an effective spectrum sensing method based on correlation coefficient. The proposed method utilizes a single receiving antenna with a delay device to acquire the original received signal and the delayed signal. Then the correlation coefficient of the two signals is computed and the result is used as the test statistic. Theoretical analysis shows that the decision threshold is unrelated to noise power, thus the proposed approach can effectively overcome the influence of noise power uncertainty. Simulation results testify the effectiveness of the proposed method even in low signal-to-noise (SNR) conditions.

Space-time block (STB) coding has been an effective transmit diversity technique for combating fading recently. In this paper, a full-rate and low-complexity STB coding scheme with complex orthogonal design for multiple antennas is proposed, and turbo code is employed as channel coding to improve the proposed code scheme performance further. Compared with full-diversity multiple antennas STB coding schemes, the proposed scheme can implement full data rate, partial diversity and a smaller complexity, and has more spatial redundancy information. Moreover, using the proposed scheme can form efficient spatial interleaving, thus performance loss due to partial diversity is effectively compensated by the concatenation of turbo coding. Simulation results show that on the condition of the same system throughput and concatenation of turbo code, the proposed scheme has lower bit error rate (BER) than those low-rate and full-diversity multiple antennas STB coding schemes.
