COMMUNICATION DEVICE INCLUDING A SPECTRUM SENSING ANTENNA AND A DATA TRANSCEIVING ANTENNA IN A COGNITIVE RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND AN ANTENNA SWITCHING METHOD IN THE COMMUNICATION DEVICE, CAPABLE OF INCREASING A SENSING GAIN BY SWITCHING THE SPECTRUM SENSING ANTENNA IN THE COGNITIVE RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

摘要

PURPOSE: A communication device including a spectrum sensing antenna and a data transceiving antenna in a cognitive radio communication system and an antenna switching method in the communication device are provided to select an optimal antenna from antennas according to the quality of a currently performing channel.;CONSTITUTION: A quality measuring unit(851) measures information related to the quality of a channel different from a channel between a communication device and another communication device based on data received from the communication device through a primary antenna or a secondary antenna. A determining unit(852) determines whether the channel has a better state than another channel based on the measured information. If the state of the channel is not better than another channel based on the determined result, a control unit(853) controls a switch to mutually change connection targets of the primary antenna and the secondary antenna.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2013;[Reference numerals] (810) Primary antenna; (820) Secondary antenna; (830) Data transceiver; (840) Spectrum generator; (850) Switching processor; (851) Quality measuring unit; (852) Determining unit; (853) Control unit;
