Channel Optimization By Using Spectrum Sensing Techniques In Cognitive Radio Network
Abstract
In recent years, the rapid development of wireless technologies has increased the need for frequency spectrum usage. To overcome this problem, Cognitive Radio (CR) has emerged as a new technique which enables the use of free ranges in the frequency spectrum. Cognitive radio networks (CRNs) are based on the principle of benefiting from the empty spectrum of secondary users (Sus) by using sensing techniques and analyzing frequency ranges. Although the frequency spectrum is used by various technologies, some frequency ranges are used inefficiently and inadequately. Fixed spectrum allocations cause unused frequency channels in the radio frequency spectrum. Spectrum detection, which is one of the features that cognitive radio applies to reduce the inefficiency of spectrum usage, scans all the primary users (PUs) in the spectrum area and the empty frequency bands. In this study, a method has been proposed to detect unused stationary frequency bands and to use these frequency bands effectively. This method, which is named as matched filter detection , was examined in AWGN channel and its results were evaluated in MATLAB.
