Efficient Sparse Spectrum Estimation for Cognitive Radios

Butt, Naveed LU and Jakobsson, Andreas LU orcid (2012) First IEEE International Workshop on Emerging Cognitive Radio Applications and algorithms (IEEE CORAL 2012)
Abstract
The emerging concept of cognitive radios offers a

way to use the limited radio-spectrum more efficiently by allowing

networks and nodes to adaptively vary their parameters. An

important element in the successful implementation of cognitive

radios is the ability to estimate the varying state of spectrum

usage in a wide-band channel quickly and at minimum cost.

In this work, we utilize a powerful non-convex optimization

approach to provide sparse and unbiased estimates of the

spectrum from limited non-uniformly sampled data. Simulation

results for a wide-band communication scenario show that

the noise floor is significantly reduced compared to... (More)

the noise floor is significantly reduced compared to other

commonly used approaches. This should help in reducing

the miss-identification of occupied and vacant sub-bands of

the spectrum, being a key requirement in spectrum sensing

cognitive radios. (Less)
