Abstract-This paper addresses the performance, the report channel traffic and the computational complexity of two blind centralized cooperative spectrum sensing schemes under the effect of unequal and dynamical noise and received signal powers. The first one is the generalized likelihood ratio test, applying decision fusion, and weighted and non-weighted data fusion of samples and eigenvalues. The second one is the circular folding cooperative power spectral density split cancellation method, applying data fusion. It is demonstrated that different configurations of the system parameters may influence the above three metrics in different extents, meaning that none of the techniques is capable of overcoming the others in all metrics simultaneously. As a consequence, the choice of the most suitable technique must be made to match the specific scenario to which the technique is intended to be applied. The results presented in this paper serve as guidelines for assisting this choice.Index Terms-Circular folding cooperative power spectral density split cancellation, cognitive radio, data fusion, decision fusion, eigenvalue fusion, generalized likelihood ratio test, nonuniform noise, spectrum sensing, unequal signal-to-noise ratio, dynamical noise.
