Abstract

 

The proliferation of wireless devices and services the past two decades has necessitated flexible and efficient use of the spectrum, which is becoming a scarce natural resource. Recently, Cognitive Radio (CR) has emerged as a promising candidate to resolve the impending spectral drought [1]. The premise of Cognitive Radio is that it can sense and adapt to the environment, enabling it to maximize the efficiency of a wireless system by detecting and transmitting on underused frequency bands while avoiding interference with the primary user. One of the main bottlenecks to the realization of such a system is the development of a computationally efficient method to detect and classify what signals are present in an ultra-wide band frequency. Previous works have shown that single signals can be classified by exploiting cyclostationarity [2-7], but these techniques have proven to be either too computationally complex or too functionally limited. Using this analysis as a foundation, we propose to develop a computationally efficient cyclic spectral analysis based on the fundamentals of compressed sensing.
