Centralized Integrated Spectrum Sensing for Cognitive Radios

Spectrum sensing is the challenge for cognitive radio design and implementation, which allows the secondary user to access the primary bands without interference with primary users. Cognitive radios should decide on the best spectrum band to meet the Quality of service requirements over all available spectrum bands. This paper investigates the integrated centralized spectrum sensing techniques ...

SUBSPACE-BASED COOPERATIVE SPECTRUM SENSING FOR COGNITIVE RADIOS By RAGHAVENDRA

Dean of the Graduate College ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would firstly like to thank my advisor Dr. Qi Cheng. Without her constant guidance and support, this work would have never lifted off the ground and reach this stage. I would also like to thank her for giving me the opportunity to work with her as a Research assistant and in course, introducing me to the wonderful world of Statistical Signal Pro...
