Abstract

This paper presents the Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) experimental results of the Max-Min signal to noise ratio (SNR) Signal Energy based Spectrum Sensing Algorithms for Cognitive Radio Networks which is recently proposed in \cite{BogaMaxMinSNRJournal2013}. Extensive experiments are performed for different set of parameters. In particular, the effects of SNR, number of samples and roll-off factor on the detection performances of the latter algorithms are examined briefly. We have observed that the experimental results fit well with those of the theory. We also confirm that these algorithms are indeed robust against carrier frequency offset, symbol timing offset and noise variance uncertainty.
