Abstract

To identify primary user signals in cognitive radios spectrum sensing method is used. Due to statistical variances in received signal, noise is present in primary user signals, this noise powers are varied due to random nature of noise signals and leads to noise uncertainty problem in the performance of energy detection. The task of energy measurement and further detecting the unused frequency spectrum is a key task in cognitive radio applications. For avoiding these problems, least logarithmic absolute difference (LLAD) algorithm is proposed in which noise powers are adjusted at sensing point of licensed users. With help of proposed method, estimated noise signals are eliminated. Sign regressor version of LLAD algorithm is considered due to it reduces computational complexity and convergence rate is improved. Further probability of detection (Pod), probability of false alarm (Pofa) is estimated to know threshold value. From results, it is clear that good performance in terms of Pofa versus Pod in range of low signal to noise ratio in multiple nodes. Therefore, the proposed energy measurement-based spectrum sensing method is useful in remote health care monitoring, medical telemetry applications by sharing the un-used spectrum.
