Abstract:

To improve probability of detection and reduce training time, this paper proposes a method of support vector machine (SVM) spectrum sensing based on data preprocessing with a log function. A minimum size of training set is selected, which is applicable with good performance in spectrum sensing. The sample sets are generated with laboratory instruments. The obtained sample sets are pre-processed with a log function to increase the mean difference between sample sets with and without primary users (PU). Experimental results show that, after pre-processing, performance of spectrum sensing is significantly improved under low SNR conditions with detection accuracy 90% or better.

Key words: log function, cognitive radio, spectrum sensing, support vector machine (SVM)
