A Novel Algorithm for Cooperative Distributed Sequential Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio (1010.1071v2)
Published 6 Oct 2010 in cs.IT, math.IT, and stat.AP
Abstract: This paper considers cooperative spectrum sensing in Cognitive Radios. In our previous work we have developed DualSPRT, a distributed algorithm for cooperative spectrum sensing using Sequential Probability Ratio Test (SPRT) at the Cognitive Radios as well as at the fusion center. This algorithm works well, but is not optimal. In this paper we propose an improved algorithm- SPRT-CSPRT, which is motivated from Cumulative Sum Procedures (CUSUM). We analyse it theoretically. We also modify this algorithm to handle uncertainties in SNR's and fading.
