摘要
In this paper, a novel multiple-user cooperative spectrum sensing （MCSS） scheme is proposed to achieve the spatial diversity gains for cognitive radio （CR） networks, where only the best relay, selected among all the candidate relays in accordance with the quality of channel conditions, is utilized to cooperatively detect the primary user. Closed-form expressions of detection time for the traditional non-cooperative and the proposed MCSS schemes are derived over Rayleigh fading channels. In addition, numerical experimentations are conducted to make a performance comparison between the noncooperative sensing and our scheme. The result shows that by exploiting the multiple-user cooperation, the detection time is reduced greatly and moreover, diversity gains obtained by the MCSS scheme increase with a rise in the number of candidate relays.
