Abstract :
[en] Herein, we present a detailed analysis of an eigenvalue
based sensing technique in the presence of correlated
noise in the context of a Cognitive Radio (CR). We use a
Standard Condition Number (SCN) based decision statistic based
on asymptotic Random Matrix Theory (RMT) for decision
process. Firstly, the effect of noise correlation on eigenvalue
based Spectrum Sensing (SS) is studied analytically under both
the noise only and the signal plus noise hypotheses. Secondly,
new bounds for the SCN are proposed for achieving improved
sensing in correlated noise scenarios. Thirdly, the performance
of Fractional Sampling (FS) based SS is studied and a method
for determining the operating point for the FS rate in terms
of sensing performance and complexity is suggested. Finally, a
Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) estimation technique based on the
maximum eigenvalue of the received signal’s covariance matrix
is proposed. It is shown that proposed SCN-based threshold
improves sensing performance in correlated noise scenarios and
SNRs up to 0 dB can be reliably estimated with less than 1
% normalized Mean Square Error (MSE) in the presence of
correlated noise without the knowledge of noise variance.
