Abstract
Spectrum sensing is a key technology to reliably detect spectrum holes in multi-dimensions for cognitive radio networks. In this paper, a joint spatial-temporal spectrum sensing scheme is proposed. First of all, the secondary users (SUs) located inside the primary exclusive region (PER) perform temporal sensing. When the primary user (PU) is present, the SUs located outside the PER perform spatial spectrum sensing. The proposed method can improve the spectrum utilization by exploiting both temporal and spatial spectrum holes. The achievable throughput for the secondary network of joint spatial-temporal sensing is higher than that of pure temporal sensing. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
