Abstract
This paper considers spectrum utilization, the probability of detection in cognitive radio (CR) model based on cooperative spectrum sensing with both simultaneous adaptive sensing and transmission at a transmitting secondary user (TSU), and the bit error rate (BER) detection with variation checking at a receiving user (RSU). In this paper, a novel detecting model is proposed in the being considered scenario for the full-duplex TSU’s simultaneous sensing and transmitting. A spectrum sensing scheme with an adaptive sensing window is designed to improve the spectrum utilization with a high SNR. At RSU, the BER variation is used further to detect whether a PU is active or not. Data fusion based on the proposed adaptive sensing scheme and the BER detection is processed for better decison on the spectrum holes. Simulation results show that (1) simultaneous spectrum sensing with an adaptive window improves the spectrum utilization compared with a periodical sensing and (2) cooperative spectrum sensing with the BER-assisted detection improves the probability of detection and spectrum utilization compared with the single simultaneous sensing at TSU.
Highlights
Cognitive radio (CR) is an important strategy to enhance spectrum efficiency, allowing the secondary user (SU) to utilize the licensed spectrum of the primary user (PU) when PU is inactive
2.2 Assisting detection based on bit error rate (BER) At SU receiver We have proposed the concept of cooperative spectrum sensing between transmitting secondary user (TSU) and RSU based on estimating the BER at RSU
4.4 Spectrum sensing with adaptive window we introduce the concept of an adaptive sensing window as applied to spectrum sensing based on energy detection, where the length of the sensing window, W, varies from Wmax to Wmin
Summary
Cognitive radio (CR) is an important strategy to enhance spectrum efficiency, allowing the secondary user (SU) to utilize the licensed spectrum of the primary user (PU) when PU is inactive. This kind of time slot is called as a spectrum hole [1, 2]. Energy detection is conventionally used for spectrum sensing [3]. SU firstly detects the spectrum band using energy collection periodically. If a spectrum hole is found, SU will immediately utilize this time interval to transmit data by upconverting to the PU’s frequency band. SU keeps detecting the spectrum in its own period till the coming of spectrum hole
