An Improved SNR-Based Cooperative Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks

Article Preview

Abstract:

Spectrum sensing is a new technology in cognitive radio network, whose main purpose is to design an optimal detector. This paper studies a soft linear cooperative spectrum sensing method. We propose a SNR-based algorithm for weight setting at fusion center to improve the detector performance. Simulation results shows that the SNR-based method has better detector performance than the others.
