Lp-Norm Spectrum Sensing for Cognitive Radio Networks Impaired by Non-Gaussian Noise
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In cognitive radio (CR) systems reliable spectrum sensing techniques are required in order to avoid interference to the primary users of the spectrum. Whereas most of the existing literature on spectrum sensing considers impairment by additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) only, in practice, CRs also have to cope with various types of non-Gaussian noise such as man-made impulsive noise, co-channel interference, and ultrawideband interference. In this paper, we propose robust Lp-norm detectors which do not require any a priori knowledge about the primary user signal and perform well for a wide range of nonGaussian noises. Furthermore, we analyze the probabilities of false alarm and missed detection of the proposed detectors in the low signal-to-noise ratio regime. For optimization of Lp-norm detection we propose a direct approach based on minimization of the probability of false alarm for a given probability of missed detection and a simpler approach based on maximization of the deflection coefficient of the detector. Analytical and simulation results show that the proposed Lp-norm detectors achieve significant performance gains over conventional energy detection in non-Gaussian noise.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
