A fast sensing algorithm for spectrum detection in cognitive radios by Prashob Ramachandran Nair

“…Conventionally, for an energy detector (ED) based CR, the threshold is set based on estimated noise power and this is not changed even though the CR may have more information available about the channel. It has been observed that for a conventional energy detector based CR at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), when the time to sense the spectrum is short, the ability to detect the presence of the primary user deteriorates significantly. …”
