Abstract
Spectrum sensing is performed by secondary users (SUs) to detect primary users (PUs) in cognitive radio networks. The limited time duration allocated for spectrum sensing may result in high false alarm probability, which always leads to low spectrum utilization and degrades the SU throughput. To overcome this problem, we propose a novel joint sensingtime adaption and data transmission (JSTA-DT) scheme. In our proposed JSTA-DT scheme, two adjacent sensing periods are bundled to form a sensing block. In each sensing block, the SU performs partial time spectrum sensing in the first sensing period. If the sensing result indicates that the PU is absent, the SU transmits its data; otherwise, the SU performs full time spectrum sensing adaptively. Both theoretical analyses and simulation results show that compared to the conventional partial time spectrum sensing and data transmission scheme, the spectrum utilization and achievable SU throughput are improved significantly by using our proposed JSTA-DT scheme.
