Abstract

We study on the energy detection algorithm of spectrum sensing. The performance of energy detection in spectrum sensing is measured by the false alarm probability and the missing detection probability. In a certain spectrum sharing environment, whether the energy detection algorithm can meet our requirement is depending on the length of observation time and the decision threshold selected. Several experiment results have shown that: when the decision threshold is too low, it will cause much more false alarm; when the decision threshold is too high, it will bring many missing detection. Therefore, it is crucial that choosing an optimal decision threshold according to the length of observation time. In this paper, the closed-form solution of the minimum-cost decision threshold is deduced by using the methodology of mathematical derivation, and a new criterion about selecting an optimal decision threshold is also proposed. At last, the conclusion is proved by simulation.
