Abstract

After digital switch over of TV transmission FCC has reported that Cognitive Radios (CR) can opportunistically use the free TV band under certain constraint among which primary user (PU) detection at low SNR is of vital importance not to create interference to the TV receivers. Since then spectrum sensing at low SNR has become the prime research issue to find spatiotemporal information of the available spectrum hole into the TV band for CR applications. In this paper we have proposed an Autocorrelation-MTM for spectrum hole identification. It has been found that detection performance can be improved significantly in low SNR by the proposed Autocorrelation-MTM compared to MTM with added complexity.
