Über dieses Buch

This Springer Brief focuses on the current state-of-the-art research on spectrum sensing by using energy detection, a low-complexity and low-cost technique. It includes a comprehensive summary of recent research, fundamental theories, possible architectures, useful performance measurements of energy detection and applications of energy detection. Concise, practical chapters explore conventional energy detectors, alternative forms of energy detectors, performance measurements, diversity techniques and cooperative networks. The careful analysis enables reader to identify the most efficient techniques for improving energy detection performance. Energy Detection for Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio is a valuable tool for researchers and practitioners interested in spectrum sensing and cognitive radio networks. Advanced-level students studying wireless communication will also benefit from this brief.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
In recent decades, the market for wireless devices and networks has boosted an unprecedented growth. This growth has led to numerous wireless services and applications. Consequently, regulatory agencies in different countries thus allocate (licensed) chunks of spectrum to different wireless services.

Chapter 2. Conventional Energy Detector
Abstract
As mentioned before, the energy detector senses spectrum holes by determining whether the primary signal is absent or present in a given frequency slot. The energy detector typically operates without prior knowledge of the primary signal parameters. Its key parameters, including detection threshold, number of samples, and estimated noise power, determine the detection performance.

Chapter 3. Alternative Forms of Energy Detectors
Abstract
Despite the benefits of low complexity and simple structure, the energy detector has several drawbacks.

Chapter 4. Performance Measurements
Abstract
The energy detection process is affected by the fluctuations of the propagation channel, which occur due to path loss, large-scale fading and small-scale fading. Channel correlation is also a major impact when energy detectors are implemented in cooperative spectrum sensing networks [43].

Chapter 5. Diversity Techniques and Cooperative Networks
Abstract
Achieving IEEE 802.22 WRAN spectrum sensing specifications is challenging because of shadowing, fading, and time variation of wireless channels. These distortions can be mitigated by using diversity combining and cooperative spectrum sensing techniques. The former improves the receive SNR, and the latter mitigates the hidden terminal problem.
