Abstract
The proposed cooperative spectrum sensing network presented in this paper has potential properties that could improve the detection probability. The proposed network consists of multiple cognitive radio (CR) nodes. Each CR node is equipped with several antennas, and selection combining is used to identify the highest value of sensing data associated with each antenna. Further, this sensing data is passed to fusion center and primary user activity is identified at the fusion centre using the fusion rules. This study mainly focuses on identifying unknown signals in a Rayleigh fading environment using an improved energy detector. Initially, the novel analytical closed-form of expressions for false alarm and missing detection probabilities was provided under Rayleigh fading with multiple antennas at each CR. Further, the performance of the total error rate is studied under single and multiple antenna scenarios, and a quantitative evaluation is offered to determine average throughput and energy efficiency performance. Later, to simulate the performance with a solid foundation of mathematical analysis, a simulation test-bed is created in MATLAB. Finally, the performance is improved with the proposed scheme compared to conventional scheme.
