Advanced Spectrum Sensing Techniques

Spectrum sensing plays an important role in cognitive radio networks. Based on the bandwidth considered for spectrum sensing, it can be classified into narrowband and wideband spectrum sensing. Traditional spectrum sensing methods are devised for narrow band as it focuses on narrow frequency a range that is the channel bandwidth is lesser than the coherence bandwidth of the channel. To provide more spectral opportunity to cognitive user and to increase the throughput, cognitive radio network needs techniques that exploits spectral opportunities over a wide frequency range. Wideband spectrum sensing techniques aim to sense a channel bandwidth that exceeds the coherence bandwidth of the channel. Narrowband sensing techniques cannot be directly employed to perform wideband spectrum sensing as they make a single binary decision. In this chapter, the advanced spectrum sensing techniques and their taxonomy are discussed in detail.
