Cognitive Radio with Single Carrier TDCS and Multicarrier OFDM Approach with V-BLAST Receiver in Rayleigh Fading Channel

This article presents the performance comparison of TDCS and OFDM based cognitive radio for MIMO system using VBLAST receiver architecture to reconstruct the transmitted data. The interference avoidance performance in terms of BER and bitrate are improved by adding multiple antennas to the system and the use of V-BLAST technique at the receiver. The results show the most promising interference avoidance technique combined with MIMO V-BLAST architecture to be applied in the CR system.
