Energy Optimized Cooperative Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Network

Abstract

The spectrum scarcity problem is addressed by number solutions by various researchers in cognitive network field. The dynamic spectrum allocation using cooperative spectrum sensing is required to analyze with respect to errors present in detection due to fixed threshold. The spectrum allocation on the basis of demand may involve the priority based requests for spectrum allocation. The contribution of this paper is for evaluating the performance of dynamic threshold energy detection schemes which are error dependent and hence minimization of errors. The performance evaluation of two methods with error minimization strategy are evaluated and results are compared to know the performance oriented dependency parameters in dynamic threshold methods and to provide the platform strategy for energy optimization in cooperative sensing.
