Abstract :
The increasing request of bandwidth for multimedia advanced services is one of the major issues of modern wireless systems. The spectrum shortage has been faced in several ways; among others the cognitive radio approach, aiming to exploit the unused spectrum resources already assigned to incumbent users, is maybe the most known. However, even if its application has been extensively proposed for wireless terrestrial communications, it remains a still unexplored area concerning Satellite Communications. The aim of this paper is to propose an Energy Detector based Radio Environment Mapping for the spectrum awareness functionality of a hybrid terrestrial/satellite scenario where the satellite components aim at exploiting the resources unused by terrestrial communications. The proposed approach allows to take advantage of cooperation between multiple sensing nodes evaluating spatial detection and false alarm probabilities besides their relationship with device detection and false alarm probabilities.
