Spectrum Sensing Performance Analysis for Mobile Primary and Secondary Users in Cognitive Radio Networks

Spectrum sensing is an essential operation in cognitive radio networks. In this paper, we consider a dynamic spectrum sensing system consisting of both non-cooperative mobile cognitive radio(CR) secondary users and mobile non-cognitive radio primary users. Key performance metrics such as detection capability and sensing capacity are evaluated. Two mobility models are adopted for both secondary and primary users. The relative distance distribution associating the independent mobile users is analyzed and given in both 1- and 2-dimensions. Expressions for both performance metrics are derived, and simulations are performed to validate the theoretical analyses.
