Method for sensing spectrum and arranging quiet period in cognitive radio system, customer premise equipment, base station and superframe structure using the same

摘要

Provided are methods of spectrum sensing and assigning quiet periods in a cognitive radio system in order to increase the reliability of detection regarding whether an incumbent user appears in his/her frequency channel, customer premises equipment (CPE), a base station, and the structure of a super frame for performing the methods. The spectrum sensing method includes communicating with a base station (BS) and performing spectrum sensing for frequency channels having quiet periods (QPs) during the QPs of the frequency channels used in the cognitive radio system, wherein the QPs of the frequency channels do not overlap each other
