Cognitive radios are devices capable of sensing a large range of frequencies in order to detect the presence of primary networks and reuse their bands when they are not occupied. D...

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...
—Accurate sensing of the spectrum condition is of crucial importance to the mitigation of the spectrum scarcity problem in dynamic spectrum access (DSA) networks. Specifically, ...
We design opportunistic spectrum access strategies for improving spectrum efficiency. In each slot, a secondary user chooses a subset of channels to sense and decides whether to ac...
— In cognitive radio systems, secondary users can be coordinated to perform cooperative spectrum sensing so as to detect the primary user more accurately. However, when the sensi...
