Abstract
The ability to detect the primary user’s signal is one of the main performances for cognitive radio networks. Based on the multi-different-cyclic-frequency characteristics of the cyclostationary primary user’s signal and the cooperation detection advantage of the multi-secondaryuser, the paper presents the weighted cooperative spectrum detection algorithm based on cyclostationarity in detail. The core of the algorithm is to detect the primary user’s signal by the secondary users’ cooperation detection to the multi-different-cyclic-frequency, and to make a final decision according to the fusion data of the independent secondary users’ detection results. Meanwhile, in order to improve the detection performance, the paper proposes a method to optimize the weight on basis of the deflection coefficient criterion. The result of simulation shows that the proposed algorithm has better performance even in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
