Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) can provide a flexible usage of the spectrum by controlling individual subcarriers. Sets of subcarriers can be zero-modulated to a...
Cognitive Radio (CR) is a promising technology that can alleviate the spectrum shortage problem by enabling unlicensed users equipped with CRs to coexist with incumbent users in li...
—Open spectrum systems allow unlicensed secondary users equipped with cognitive radio to opportunistically access the spectrum underutilized by primary users. Cognitive radio has...
— Spectrum sensing is a key enabling functionality in cognitive radio (CR) networks, where the CRs act as secondary users that opportunistically access free frequency bands. Due ...
This paper considers a scenario in which a secondary user makes opportunistic use of a channel allocated to some primary network. The primary network operates in a time-slotted ma...

In cognitive radio networks (CRNs), spectrum sensing is key to opportunistic spectrum access while preventing any unacceptable interference to primary users’ communications. Alt...
This paper addresses the problem of optimal cooperative spectrum sensing in a cognitive-enabled sensor network where cognitive sensors can cooperate in the sensing of the spectrum...
