Spectrum sensing and throughput maximization in cognitive radio networks

In cognitive radio (CR) systems, reliable spectrum sensing techniques are required in order to avoid interference to the primary users (PUs) of the spectrum. In this dissertation two spectrum sensing techniques are developed, and sensing time and power allocation are optimized in multi-input multi-o...
