In cognitive radio networks (CRNs), spectrum sensing is key to opportunistic spectrum access while preventing any unacceptable interference to primary users’ communications. Alt...
We consider a two-stage sensing scheme for cognitive radios where coarse sensing based on energy detection is performed in the first stage and, if required, fine sensing based o...
—Cooperative spectrum sensing is attracting more attention in Cognitive Radio networks. This paper proposes a fully distributed consensus-based cooperative spectrum sensing schem...
— In cognitive radio, spectrum sensing is a key component to detect spectrum holes (i.e., channels not used by any primary users). Collaborative spectrum sensing among the cognit...
Abstract—Distributed spectrum sensing (DSS) enables a Cognitive Radio (CR) network to reliably detect licensed users and avoid causing interference to licensed communications. Th...
