Abstract—Based on information theoretic tools, a new spectrum sensing method is proposed in this paper to detect vacant sub-bands in the radio spectrum1 . Specifically, based on...
—Cooperative spectrum sensing is attracting more attention in Cognitive Radio networks. This paper proposes a fully distributed consensus-based cooperative spectrum sensing schem...
—This paper presents the system level performance evaluation for energy-detection based cooperative spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks. Three performance criteria are q...
—This paper addresses optimal spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks considering its system level cost that accounts for the local processing cost of sensing (sample collec...
— Spectrum sensing is a key enabling functionality in cognitive radio (CR) networks, where the CRs act as secondary users that opportunistically access free frequency bands. Due ...
