Abstract: In the cognitive radio network, the performance of spectrum sensing by a single user with a single antenna may degrade significantly. In order to improve the detection performance and reduce spectrum sensing data transmission overhead, a two step cooperative spectrum sensing scheme was proposed. Simulations show that proposed scheme can significantly improve the detection reliability by overcoming multi-path fading, shadowing and the receiver uncertainty problem. The proposed scheme combines the advantages of the soft combination and the hard combination schemes. In addition, it will reduce the network overload and improves the detection performance.

Key words: two steps cooperative spectrum sensing, cognitive radio networks, fading channels
