Aim: The study aims to detect the effective channel in cognitive radio network at low SNR using an innovative algorithm based on matched filter detection and compared it with energy detection. Materials and methods: The spectrum sensing based on novel matched filter detection with 10 samples is compared with the energy detection by varying the SNR conditions, using MATLAB. Results: The probability of detection of the matched filter is high at low SNR(-30db) then compared to the probability of detection of energy detection at low SNR(-10db) and the significance level is 0.002, i.e., (P<0.05) which gives better sensing performance. Conclusion: this would be proved to conclude that at low SNR conditions the matched filter detection gives significantly high sensing probability.

In cognitive radio network, how to minimize the impact of secondary user on primary user’s signal plays a very important and complex role. Therefore, spectrum sensing is one of the most essential components of cognitive radio. Therefore, the effect of spectrum sensing algorithms plays a key role to the system’s performance. In this paper, we concentrate on spectrum sensing algorithms in order to find out spectrum hole or while hole for reusing it. Specifically, we will highlight the energy detector algorithm of unknown deterministic signals over fading channels. The numerical results match well with theoretical analysis. The system’s performance of energy detection in AWGN channel is acceptable in case of relatively low signal to noise ratio (SNR). However, the performance of system will be degraded remarkable over fading environments.

With the development of a new and ever expanding wireless applications and services, spectrum resources are facing in demands. In present scenario, the spectrum allotment has been done by providing each new service with its own fixed frequency Slot. Most of the user’s spectrum is already assigned, so it becomes very difficult to find spectrum for other users or existing users. This leads to the scarcity of available spectrum and inefficient channel utilization. Cognitive radio is a novel technology which improves the spectrum utilization by allowing secondary user to borrow unused radio spectrum from primary licensed users or to share the spectrum with the primary users. Present paper deals with the spectrum sensing in which multiple users detect the spectrum gap through energy detection and investigate the detection performance in an efficient and implementable way. Simulation results showed that the probability of detection is achieved at small value SNR in case of OFDM modulation as compare the other and simple cognitive environment.
