The main task of spectrum sensing in cognitive radio network is to decide whether the primary user is occupying the specific spectrum band or not. So the main purpose of spectrum sensing is to design a detector with better detection performance. This paper studies a spectrum sensing method with clustering under cognitive radio networks. We studied the cooperative spectrum sensing model with clustering by hard fusion rule, and also proposed the simulation model and steps of this cluster-based spectrum sensing problem under Majority rule. Simulation results show that the spectrum sensing method with clustering has better performance than the other methods.

This chapter discusses the detection performance of relay based cognitive radio networks. Relays are assigned in cognitive radio networks to transmit the primary user’s signal to cognitive coordinators or CPUs, thus achieving cooperative spectrum sensing. The purpose of the chapter is to provide mathematical analysis of energy detectors for dual hop networks. The soft fusion rule is used at the relays which acts as amplify and forward relays. For the detection purpose, the energy detector is employed at the cognitive coordinator. In the ending sections, sensing performance is analyzed for different fading channels in the MATLAB environment and simulation results present comparative performance of various relay conditions with concluding remarks.
