Abstract:

For the problem of energy detections inability of weak signals and the likelihood ratio test (LRT)s high computational complexity in cognitive radio, the LRT algorithm is simplified under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and its performance parameters are calculated. A spectrum joint detection algorithm is presented based on the simplified LRT, in which the energy detector and the simplified LRT under low SNR are used. Simulation shows that the algorithm detects the primary user signal effectively under low SNR condition, and performs close performance with lower complexity than that of the well-known LRT.

Key words: cognitive radio, likelihood ratio test, joint spectral detection, energy detection
