Abstract Cognitive radio is a technology developed for the effective use of radio spectrum sources. The spectrum sensing function plays a key role in the performance of cognitive radio networks. In this study, we propose an online learning algorithm for the energy detection scheme, which aims to maximizing spectrum detection performance. Optimal threshold value, which is critical for the determination of the absence or the presence of a licensed user, was mathematically expressed in accordance with the balance between probability of detection and probability of false alarm. Performance of the proposed algorithm was tested on non-fading and different fading channels for low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime with noise uncertainty. In conclusion of the simulation studies, improvement in spectrum detection performance according to optimal threshold value selection was observed.

In cognitive radio networks spectrum sensing plays a vital role to identify the presence or absence of the primary user. In conventional spectrum sensing one secondary user will make a final decision regarding the availability of licensed spectrum. But Secondary user fail to make a correct detection about the presence of the primary user if he is in fading environment and it causes interference to the licensed users. Therefore to avoid interference to the licensed users and to make correct detection, number of samples is increased, Which increases the probability of detection. In this paper the optimization of samples is proposed to reduce the system overhead and also to increase the propagation time. Simulation results show the optimized value of samples for a given probability of false alarm and also the variation of probability of detection with optimized samples and false alarm is shown in the results. ABSTRAK: Dalam rangkaian radio kognitif, penginderaan spektrum memainkan peranan penting untuk mengenal pasti kehadiran atau ketiadaan pengguna utama. Dalam penginderaan spektrum konvensional, seorang pengguna sekunder akan membuat keputusan akhir mengenai ketersediaan spektrum berlesen. Tetapi pengguna Sekunder gagal membuat pengesanan yang betul mengenai kehadiran pengguna utama jika dia berada dalam persekitaran yang pudar dan menyebabkan gangguan kepada pengguna yang berlesen. Oleh itu untuk mengelakkan gangguan kepada pengguna berlesen dan membuat pengesanan yang betul, jumlah sampel meningkat, yang meningkatkan kemungkinan pengesanan. Dalam makalah ini pengoptimuman sampel dicadangkan untuk mengurangi overhead sistem dan juga untuk meningkatkan waktu penyebaran. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan nilai sampel yang dioptimumkan untuk kebarangkalian penggera palsu dan juga variasi kebarangkalian pengesanan dengan sampel yang dioptimumkan dan penggera palsu ditunjukkan dalam hasil.

Background: In cognitive radio networks, spectrum sensing plays an important role in identifying the underutilized spectrum bands. Conventional spectrum sensing using energy detection method uses single detection threshold, which degrades the detection performance. Method: Therefore double detection threshold has been proposed for spectrum sensing in the literature to improve the detection performance, but the performance depends on the region between two thresholds termed as confusion state. Hence to improve the overall detection performance new re-sensing scheme has been proposed in this paper by varying the difference between thresholds by an improvement factor K. Results: The proposed method improves the detection performance compared to the single threshold method and double threshold method. Conclusion: Simulation results show that the proposed method operates better than the single threshold energy detection method and improves the detection performance at low signal to noise ratios.


Cognitive radio is a versatile and sharp radio system learning that can naturally recognize accessible divert in a remote range and change correspondence parameters empower more data to run at the same time. Psychological radio is estimated as a point towards which a product characterized radio stage ought to create. The significant elements of CR incorporate Spectrum detecting, Spectrum portability, Spectrum choice, Spectrum sharing. Range detecting frames the base of subjective radios and is one of the principle strategies that empower the intellectual radios to improve the range use. Range detecting is for the most part done in the recurrence and time area. In this paper we will analyze about and investigate four noteworthy range detecting systems to be specific Energy detection, Matched filter spectrum detection, Cyclostationary spectrum detection and Waveform based spectrum detection. In view of the similar outcomes we can appraise the best spectrum detection for remote portable applications
