This paper develops a cooperative scheme among cognitive radios (CRs) to increase the spectrum sensing performance. CRs adaptively transmit local binary decisions to a fusion cente...
—In this paper, we present a composite hypothesis testing approach for cooperative spectrum sensing. We derive the optimal likelihood ratio test (LRT) statistic based on the Neym...
Abstract--Cognitive radio networks require fast and reliable spectrum sensing to achieve high network utilization by secondary users. Current optimization approaches to spectrum se...
We consider a two-stage sensing scheme for cognitive radios where coarse sensing based on energy detection is performed in the first stage and, if required, fine sensing based o...
