Wideband Spectrum Sensing Based on Bidirectional Decision of Normalized Spectrum for Cognitive Radio Networks

Cognitive radio (CR) is considered to be an effective approach to eliminate the dilemma of spectrum shortage.To meet the ever-increasing demands of instant and accurate spectrum sensing in CR with wideband and multi-frequency-slots, a novel wideband spectrum sensing algorithm based on bidirectional decision of normalized spectrum (BDNP) is proposed
