   Abstract : Many frequency bands for wireless services are severely underutilized by the primary users (PU) to which these bands are assigned. This motivates cognitive radios (CR), which identifies vacant spectrum and transmit accordingly. Many algorithms, some as simple as energy detection, are used to sense the spectrum. READ MORE
