A Novel Robust Detection Algorithm Using Jarqur-Bera Statistic for Spectrum Sensing

In this paper, the DTV (digital television) spectrum sensing problem is studied, which plays a key role in the cognitive radio. In contrast to the existing higher-order-statistics (HOS) approach, we propose a novel robust spectrum-sensing method, which is based on the JB (Jarqur-Bera) statistic. In our new studies, the existing HOS spectrum sensing technique may often not be robust. Our proposed JB-statistic based detector has been justified to be superior for the simulated microphone signals as well as the real DTV signals.
