Effective cooperative DTV detection using the Goertzel algorithm

In digital TV (DTV) detection, to monitor the DTV spectrum, only pilot tone frequency values can be observed in order to achieve calculation and energy savings. These savings can be achieved using the Goertzel algorithm. However, more than one receiver sensor is needed in order to increase the detection quality. In this technique, the Goertzel algorithm is used for energy-efficient pilot tone detection and a new effective cooperative structure is proposed. There is no extra fusion center and more than one DTV band can be monitored with this OR rule-based cooperative structure. With this new cooperative structure, reaching the desired levels of ROC curves for probability of detection and probability of false alarm with the total energy efficiency is also demonstrated with detailed simulations for all DTV multipath profiles. \vs{-2mm}
