Abstract
In cognitive radio, spectrum sensing is an emergent technology to find available and unused spectrum for increasing spectrum utilization and to overcome spectrum scarcity problem without harmful interference to licensed users. Cooperative spectrum sensing is used to give reliable performance in terms of detection probability and false alarm probability as well as in order to reduce fading, noise and shadowing effects on cognitive radio users. In this paper according to detection performance and complexity various cooperative spectrum sensing schemes have been discussed. We have analyzed spectrum sensing with different fusion rules and their comparative behavior has also been studied. Furthermore, we introduced AND-OR fusion rules in 2-bit and 3-bit hard combination schemes.
