A Multi-Antenna Spectrum Sensing Method Based on CEEMDAN Decomposition Combined with Wavelet Packet Analysis

Abstract

In many practical communication environments, the presence of uncertain and hard-to-estimate noise poses significant challenges to cognitive radio spectrum sensing systems, especially when the noise distribution deviates from the Gaussian distribution. This paper introduces a cutting-edge multi-antenna spectrum sensing methodology that synergistically integrates complete ensemble empirical mode decomposition with adaptive noise (CEEMDAN), wavelet packet analysis, and differential entropy. Signal feature extraction commences by employing CEEMDAN decomposition and wavelet packet analysis to denoise signals collected by secondary antenna users. Subsequently, the differential entropy of the preprocessed signal observations serves as the feature vector for spectrum sensing. The spectrum sensing module utilizes the SVM classification algorithm for training, while incorporating elite opposition-based learning and the sparrow search algorithm with genetic variation to determine optimal kernel function parameters. Following successful training, a decision function is derived, which can obviate the need for threshold derivation present in conventional spectrum sensing methods. Experimental validation of the proposed methodology is conducted and comprehensively analyzed, conclusively demonstrating its remarkable efficacy in enhancing spectrum sensing performance.
