Abstract :
This article presents results of evaluations and comparisons of two detection algorithms for cognitive radio, the energy detection (ED) and spectral covariance sensing (SCS), using experimental data obtained in field measurement campaigns. The algorithms were tested to evaluate their performance in terms of probability of false alarm, probability of detection and probability of misdetection. The experimental data consists of received signal measurements at geo-positioned points along different routes in an urban area.
