Abstract

Sensing is the most important component in any cognitive radio system. The IEEE 802.22 Working Group (WG) is formulating the first worldwide standard for cognitive radios to operate in the television (TV) bands. In order for this standard to succeed, it is imperative that IEEE 802.22 systems employ an effective sensing mechanism to detect the presence of television signals so that it can opportunistically access those bands that are not currently used by TV transmitters. In this paper we highlight the simulation methodology used in the IEEE 802.22 WG and study the performance of the power detector.
