Double Threshold Weighted Energy Detection for Asynchronous PU Activities in the Presence of Noise Uncertainty

Résumé

Cognitive Heterogeneous Network (CHN) is a network that provides heterogeneous services on a cognitive radio basis. The existence of such heterogeneous services introduces a syndrome of concurrent problems. Handling each problem separately may result in more consequences. This paper aims to mitigate the combined effects of noise uncertainty and asynchronous primary user occurrence within the sensing interval of the secondary user in cognitive heterogeneous network. The paper proposes a double threshold energy detection method based on unequal scale sampling criteria. An analytic formula is deduced for both thresholds employing the power scaling criteria. Simulation results show a complete agreement with the performance expectations in terms of increased probability of detection while keeping the false alarm probability within the required limits, which is guaranteed by plotting the ROC curves. Moreover, an optimal threshold is formulated to minimize the overall detection errors, that led to further enhancements in performance as illustrated also via simulations.
