A Spectrum Sensing Algorithm based on distributed cognitive models

In the last years, an increasing attention of the communications researchers has been focused on the Cognitive Radio (CR) concept and on its possible supporting technologies and applications. The proposed approach deals the problem of information acquisition and handling for cooperative Cognitive Radio Terminals, in order to perform Spectrum Sensing tasks in a distributed way. The proposed solution is based on Distributed Detection theory supported by a Cognitive Modeling of Terminals.
