ABSTRACT

The project will provide simulations and experimental performance evaluation of non-parametric detection schemes to provide opportunistic spectrum access in a cognitive radio environment.

Description
The aim of the project is to develop a non-parametric detection algorithm and analyze the performance in a real-time wireless environment. In this project, we focus on the study and Monte-Carlo simulations of a new non-parametric scheme to detect the presence of the primary user without knowing its structure and channel information. The work includes the detailed performance evaluation of non-parametric detection scheme in the actual wireless environment. To achieve this, GNURADIO software and the Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) hardware-based wireless test bed will be created to prepare the experimental setup of CR-MIMO (Cognitive Radio – Multiple Input Multiple Output) systems. Thus, the project will provide simulations and experimental performance evaluation of non-parametric detection schemes to provide opportunistic spectrum access in a cognitive radio environment.

This project is funded by Gujarat Council on Science and Technology (GUJCOST), Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of Gujarat.
