The aim of this book is to provide some
useful methods to improve the spectrum sensing performance in a systematic way,
and point out an effective method for the application of cognitive radio
technology in wireless communications. The book gives a a state-of-the-art
survey and proposes some new cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) methods
attempting to achieve better performance. For each CSS, the main idea and
corresponding algorithm design are elaborated in detail. This book covers the fundamental concepts and the core
technologies of CSS, especially its latest developments. Each chapter is
presented in a self-sufficient and independent way so that the reader can
select the chapters interesting to them. The methodologies are described in
detail so that the readers can repeat the corresponding experiments easily. It will be a useful book for researchers helping them to
understand the classifications of CSS, inspiring new ideas about the novel CSS
technology for CR, and learning new ideas from the current status of CSS. For
engineers, it will be a good guidebook to develop practical applications for
CSS.
