Experimental Implementation of Spectrum Sensing Using Cognitive Radio
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cognitive radio (CR) is designed to detect available frequency bands/channels. Spectrum sensing plays a critical role in CR with energy detection being the most common method. In our paper, we implement energy detection using GNU Radio and USRP boards as a test-bed. Specifically, energy detection is performed by using blocks in GNU Radio Companion (GRC) to calculate the energy of a present signal and compare it against a threshold to determine whether or not the channel is occupied by a signal. Extensive experiments are conducted and sensing performance including false alarm and misdetection is analyzed as well.
