Abstract
In cognitive radio, most spatial spectrum sensing algorithms ignore the characteristic of the noncircular (NC) signals that are common in modern communication systems. In this letter, we propose a novel blind spatial spectrum sensing algorithm for NC signals. First, the spatial spectrum of the NC signals is improved by utilizing the complementary covariance. On this basis, we present the maximum-minimum spatial spectrum of the NC signals (NC-MMSS) detection, which can detect the signal of primary user (PU) and provide corresponding angle of arrival (AoA) information. Then the theoretical expressions of probability of false alarm, decision threshold, and probability of detection are derived. Finally, simulation results verify that the proposed method is superior to the existing spatial spectrum sensing algorithms.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Communications Letters publishes short papers in a rapid publication cycle on advances in the state-of-the-art of communication over different media and channels including wire, underground, waveguide, optical fiber, and storage channels. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, and analyses) and practical contributions (including system experiments and prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. This journal focuses on the physical layer and the link layer of communication systems.
