摘要:
A system and method for cooperative spectrum sensing in cognitive radio (CR) systems is provided. A method for CR user operation includes coordinating with partner CR users to share spectrum sensing information, combining spectrum sensing information from partner CR users, and determining if a transmission opportunity exists based on the combined spectrum sensing information. The method also includes transmitting a message to a CR user if the transmission opportunity exists, and storing the message if the transmission opportunity does not exist.

摘要:
A baseband process operating on a receiver in a communication system, such as an 802.15.4 communication system, is provided. The baseband process has a set of predefined reference signals, with each reference signal associated with a possible characteristic in the baseband signal. The baseband process receives a degraded baseband signal, and preprocesses the baseband signal to reduce or remove the effects of the degradation. The preprocessed baseband signal is correlated with reference signals from the set of predefined reference signals, and the reference signal with the best correlation is identified. By identifying the best correlating reference signal, the baseband process is able to identify a characteristic of the baseband signal. In one example of the baseband process, the baseband signal is preprocessed by auto-correlating the degraded baseband signal with a delayed version of the degraded baseband signal. The preprocessed baseband signal is then correlated against a set of sync reference signals to find a sync offset for the baseband signal. When synchronized with the baseband signal, the baseband process may be correlated against a set of symbol reference signals to decode sequential symbols in the baseband signal.
摘要:
A baseband process is provided for operating on a receiver in a communication system, such as an 802.15.4 communication system in the 868/915 MHz band In one aspect, the baseband process is useful for decoding a baseband signal, and in another aspect is useful for determining a clear channel assessment. In decoding the baseband signal, the process digitizes the baseband signal into sample sets according to a symbol period. The sample sets may be, for example, from sequential symbols having a known symbol value, such as from the preamble portion of a data frame. Since the symbol values are already known, the process may determine a reference value by correlating two or more known sample sets. To decode a sample set having an unknown code symbol, the process determines a correlation value by correlating that unknown sample set to a sample set having a known code symbol, which is typically the adjacent and preceding sample set. If the correlation value is the same as the reference value, then the unknown sample has the same code symbol as the known code symbol. The process advances to the next symbol period and sample set to sequentially decode symbols in the data frame.
