Wideband Sequential Spectrum Sensing with Varying Thresholds

• In this contribution, time varying threshold sequentialdetectors are employed for energy detection-based spectrumsensing in low-SNR regimes. Sequential detection is proven to befaster (on average) than any other multi-sample detector for a setof given probabilities of detection and false-alarm. In this report,exact performance of a sequential detector for spectrum sensingis analyzed using the direct method. The theoretical resultspresented herein are verified with Monte-Carlo simulations. Itis shown that for a SNR of −10 dB, among tests with Wald andtriangular thresholds with similar probabilities of mis-detectionand false-alarm, triangular performs 54% faster in terms ofmaximum detection time (90 percentile).
