Combined diversity and improved energy detection in cooperative spectrum sensing with faded reporting channels

In this paper we evaluate the performance of cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) where each cognitive radio (CR) employs an improved energy detector (IED) with multiple antennas and uses selection combining (SC) for detecting the primary user (PU) in noisy and faded sensing (S) channels. We derive an...
