Abstract
In this paper, Cognitive Radios (CRs) collaborate in spectrum sensing to detect random signals corrupted by Gaussian noise. Our analysis is based on a limited time resource assumption. This implies that the time resource dedicated for cooperative spectrum sensing process is constrained and shared between spectrum sensing time and results reporting time, which depends on the number of sensing users. We use common weighted gain combining detector to detect presence or absence of Primary User (PU). In order to find optimum gains, number of users and detection threshold, we maximize the achievable throughput with two approaches so that the predefined constraints on detection and false alarm probabilities are satisfied to protect the cooperative network performance quality. Analytical results in addition to simulation results show that the proposed schemes significantly outperform similar traditional detectors.
