Abstract
This paper presents a spectrum monitoring algorithm for Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiplexing (OFDM) based cognitive radios by which the primary user
reappearance can be detected during the secondary user transmission. The
proposed technique reduces the frequency with which spectrum sensing must be
performed and greatly decreases the elapsed time between the start of a primary
transmission and its detection by the secondary network. This is done by
sensing the change in signal strength over a number of reserved OFDM
sub-carriers so that the reappearance of the primary user is quickly detected.
Moreover, the OFDM impairments such as power leakage, Narrow Band Interference
(NBI), and Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) are investigated and their impact
on the proposed technique is studied. Both analysis and simulation show that
the energy ratio algorithm can effectively and accurately detect the
appearance of the primary user. Furthermore, our method achieves high immunity
to frequency-selective fading channels for both single and multiple receive
antenna systems, with a complexity that is approximately twice that of a
conventional energy detector.
