Abstract
Spectrum sensing is a distinct feature of cognitive ad-hoc nodes that have the ability to opportunistically use vacant spectrum bands for its own communication purposes. Possible cooperation among the nodes may prove vital for increasing network performance. It yields the cognitive ad-hoc nodes to exchange relevant environmental and context information in order to enhance its own networking experience. This paper overviews the approaches, techniques and strategies for cooperative spectrum sensing and gives a practical example of a realized testbed implementation in an ad-hoc environment.
