Introduction
Communication technology is raising with greater pace and every device is becoming wireless, this has increased the demand and usage of radio spectrum. The efficient use of licensed spectrum has become a challenge in ever-growing demand of radio spectrum. The cognitive radio is the technology to have dynamic channel allocation for unlicensed user to use the licensed spectrum and increase the spectrum utilization efficiently without causing interference to the licensed users. In 1998, Dr. Joseph Mitola III had delivered the first concept of cognitive radio networks at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm (KTH). According to Dr. Mitola III cognitive radio network (CRN) is a smart communication system that will be helpful to future wireless technology.
Cognitive radio networks senses its surrounding environment and based on environment parameters it adjusts its internal parameters to perform system operations. The primary goal of the cognitive radio network is to offer highly reliable and robust communication network whenever and wherever required and to utilize the radio spectrum efficiently. In cognitive radio network, there are two main factors one is primary users and another is cognitive or secondary users. The primary user has been allocated a licensed band of spectrum that’s why some times it is also known as primary licensed user. The secondary user is unlicensed user that does not have allocated band of spectrum. Cognitive radio network is IEEE 802.22 Wireless Regional Area Network (WRAN) standard, has capability to sense channel usage, study the channel information and then make an appropriate decision whether the primary user channel is free or not. There are mainly four major tasks/ functions of cognitive radios, defined as spectrum sensing, spectrum sharing, spectrum mobility, and spectrum decision.
In spectrum sensing function, cognitive radio users identify the availability of free primary user spectrum band when a user operates in a licensed band. There are several spectrum sensing techniques for cognitive radio based systems which sense the PU signal without any interference named as matched filter detection, cyclostationary feature detection, and energy detection based scheme etc.
The motivation for cognitive radio systems from various measurements of spectrum utilization, which generally show that spectrum, is under-utilized. This means that there are many "white holes" in the radio spectrum that could be exploited. Cognitive radios should be able to exploit these spectrum holes by detecting them with the help of appropriate sensing techniques, and using them in an opportunistic manner.
Objectives
For given purpose Cognitive radio network arises to be a fruitful solution to the spectral congestion problem by introducing opportunistic usage of the primary user licensed frequency bands that are not heavily engaged by licensed users. To utilize primary users licensed spectrum band, spectrum detection is required. The spectrum detection of the cognitive radio network is an important zone that wishes to be studied. As mentioned in the literature survey, over the years, several spectrum sensing techniques have been proposed by many researchers. The problems with spectrum sensing techniques are that fading effects, shadowing or hidden terminal problem, adaptive threshold, spread spectrum signal, and security that affect the performance of the network. Thus, some work needs to be done with the main goal of providing a way to improve the spectrum sensing while taking into consideration the performance of the network. A trade-off between accuracy and sensing time is essential in order to improve the performance of wireless communication networks (WCN). The main objective of this book is to understand the problems related to spectrum sensing, try to mitigate these problems on the performance, and develop novel spectrum detection techniques that can easily sense licensed frequency band of primary user at very low signal to noise ratio in Wireless Regional Area Networks (WRAN). This book focuses on spectrum sensing techniques, how much work has been done till now and gathers recent advances in spectrum sensing techniques. This book is considered to be good reference for engineers (that are practicing sensing techniques related developments), researchers, and higher degree students that are working on sensing schemes for 5-G Networks. The corresponding performance analysis provided in the book further enables one to understand the capabilities of the various sensing techniques presented and provides sufficient knowledge to perform additional research work.
