Constant False Alarm Rate Detection of Multicarrier Signals With Periodic Power Boosting.

Given the prevalence of multicarrier waveforms in wireless systems, the sensing of such signals is of high importance for cognitive radio applications. In this paper, we exploit periodic power boosting of subcarriers in multicarrier signals which is applied, e.g., in LTE to improve the performance of sensing compared to state-of-the-art schemes under practical scenarios where noise uncertainties a...
