Abstract Cognitive Radio (CR) network is an adjustable, smart radio that can be programmed and configured effectively. CR technology is used to automatically distinguish wireless channels in definite spectrum and change transmission parameters to allow more concurrent communications in order to restrict user interfering, overcrowding and furthermore boost radio operating performance. Therefore, high Quality of Service (QoS) is demanded in Cognitive radio system. The Opportunistic Spectrum Access (OSA) is considered one of the most promising methodologies in CR. In OSA, unlicensed users are enabled to access licensed frequency bands which are detected to be idle. Therefore, the achievable throughput of the secondary user network must be maximized to increase the spectrum efficiency. Recently, several studies have been accomplished to enhance the spectrum sensing methods. To distinguish between the spectrums of various selective bands, different approaches are proposed. It can be claimed that, spectrum sensing is one of the most significant issues for CR. This thesis proposes a new technology such as Multi-Taper, MultiII Taper-Diversity and Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) spectrum sensing techniques that have been compared with the traditional systems. A number of important factors affecting this system and operating efficiency have been studied with the suggestion of some assumptions and modifications that may improve system efficiency and increase safety factors for the licensed user. |
