Abstract:In this paper, dynamic spectrum access in complex wireless communication environment is studied, and a dynamic spectrum detection scheme based on HMM and state persistence is proposed. Specifically, on the basis of energy window detection, the proposed scheme first represents the signal energy of each primary user changing with time as a random process. Secondly, two detectors are designed to detect the differences between the primary and secondary users by using HMM and the concept of state persistence,and try to distinguish the signals according to their statistical characteristics, so as to improve the detection accuracy of available white spaces and their dynamic spectrum access ability. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme can not only distinguish transmission sources in complex wireless communication environment, but also improve the performance of dynamic spectrum detection.
