PSO AND SVD BASED ENHANCED SIGNAL DETECTION FOR COGNITIVE RADIO SYSTEM

Spectrum sensing is an essential problem in cognitive radio communication system. This paper presents covariance based spectrum sensing on the test bed if cognitive radio system. A series of tests show that the detection performance of Covariance Based spectrum sensing technique is not liable to be affected by the noise uncertainty in practical application and meets the need of the system primly. Furthermore, the performances of detection are also verified with different kinds of source signals. Simulations are carried out on MATLAB2010a and system performance is measured based on probability of detection vs. SNR, Probability of false alarm, sensing time and modulation techniques respectively.
