In this article, we consider the performance of energy detection in composite
multipath/shadowing fading environment. We also investigate the mitigation of the effect of …

Reliable spectrum sensing is the very task upon which the entire operation of the cognitive
radio rests. Energy detection is one of the solutions that have been proposed for enabling …

Missed-detection probability expressions for energy detectors often involve infinite series
and do not provide quick insights into the effects of operating conditions. To overcome these …

This article proposes a solution that can extend the capability of traditional energy detector
to wideband sensing with improved performance. The solution involves the use of parallel …

In this article, we develop a closed form evaluation of the area under receiver operating
characteristics (ROC) curve (AUC) when employed in the analysis of cooperative amplify …

Spectrum sensing performance of a cognitive radio (CR) deploying the traditional energy
detector (ED) degrades in the presence of random network interference where both the …

In this article, we investigate the performance of classical and modified periodogram based
on the Neyman-Pearson (NP) criterion in terms of the false alarm and detection probabilities …

In this article, we investigate the performance of spectrum sensing in the frequency domain.
Classical and modified periodogram are analyzed based on the Neyman-Pearson (NP) …

Cooperative spectrum sensing has not been examined over frequency-selective Nakagami-
m fading channels when an energy detector (ED) is employed. We show that cooperative …

In this article, we derive six distinct series representations of the generalized Nuttall Q-
function. Interestingly, some of these expressions generalise some of the recent results on …
