In this letter, we propose a passive detection method to enable cognitive user to detect active primary receiver. With our method, cognitive user may conduct underlay spectrum sharing without the need of channel state information between primary and cognitive users. Simulation results show that our detector can provide about 100% to 300% more access probabilities in average than conventional energy detector.
