In this paper,we propose a sensing scheme based on energy detection,matched filter and cyclic prefix.Both Equal Gain Combining(EGC)and optimal combination of the aforementioned detectors are investigated in cooperative and non-cooperative spectrum sensing scenarios.In packet transmission systems such as OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple access)systems,the proposed scheme takes advantage of utilizing more samples than individual detectors,i.e.,cyclic prefix,training or pilot samples,and data payload samples.The proposed combine-sensing scheme offers higher detection probability and lower false alarm probability,as compared with the performance of individual detectors over the same frame duration.Simulation results are congruent with the theoretical curves and confirm the validity of our derivations.
