The effect of the primary user traffic on the performance of spectrum sensing is investigated. The investigation considers both local and collaborative spectrum sensing. Numerical results show that the performance of spectrum sensing can be significantly degraded if the primary user channel state changes frequently, and that collaborative spectrum sensing is effective in alleviating the deleterious effect caused by the primary user traffic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
