Cognitive Radio - Spectrum Sensing Core
Overview
The spectrum sensing core blindly detects occupied sub-carriers within a wideband spectrum. The algorithm implemented in this core uses a patented algorithm (US 8,630,377 B2). The efficient real time implementation makes this core an idel candidate to be used in cognitive radios. The spectrum sensing core is a fully parallel implementation which gives real time spectrum sensing capabilities allowing little to no interference to the incumbent. The spectrum sensing core is targeted to be used in radios developed based on IEEE802.22 standard.
