چکیده

Multiband spectrum access presents the next generation of cognitive radio networks (CRNs), where multiple bands are sensed and accessed to enhance the network’s throughput, improve spectrum’s maintenance, and reduce handoff frequency and data transmission interruptions due to the activities of the primary users. In this paper, we discuss the challenges and limitations of the major multiband spectrum sensing techniques. Particularly, we highlight the edge-detection problem and examine several issues of the state-of-the-art wavelet-based techniques. We also study the compressive sensing problem. Finally, we highlight the promises of utilizing the angle-domain for the CRNs.

Nonconvex Optimization of Collaborative Multiband Spectrum Sensing for Cognitive Radios with Genetic Algorithms

Cognitive Radio (CR) is a novel technology that permits secondary users (SUs) to transmit alongside primary users (PUs). PUs retain transparent communications whereas SUs perform spectrum sensing and adaptive transmission to avoid collisions. Ultra-wideband sensing is of primary importance for SU to sense and access opportunistically several bands at a time. Reliable detection in wide geographi...

Reconstruction of Frequency Hopping Signals From Multi-Coset Samples

Multi-Coset (MC) sampling is a well established, practically feasible scheme for sampling multiband analog signals below the Nyquist rate. MC sampling has gained renewed interest in the Compressive Sensing (CS) community, due partly to the fact that in the frequency domain, MC sampling bears a strong resemblance to other sub-Nyquist CS acquisition protocols. In this paper, we consider MC sampli...

Cooperative Wideband Spectrum Sensing Based on Sub-Nyquist Cooperative Narrowband Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Devices

Abstract— This article proposes a new cooperative wideband spectrum-sensing algorithm based on cooperative sub-Nyquist narrow band spectrum sensing in cognitive radio devices (CRD). Within this scenario, to guarantee optimal detection, the spectrum-sensing function must work with a great amount of samples of the signal obtained at rates equal or higher than the Nyquist rate, which generates hig...
