Spectrum Sensing Techniques: A Solution for the Scarcity of Electromagnetic Spectrum in The West Bank And The Gaza Strip

Abstract

In this paper, a technical solution for the shortage and scarcity of radio spectrum in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip is proposed based on modern spectrum sensing cognitive radio. After summarizing the spectrum availability in Palestine, the article evaluates the impact of the application of spectrum sensingcognitive radio on the capacity of cellular networks. It then details the conventional and modern cooperative spectrum sensing techniques used to detect unused spectrum. Finally, the article illustrates the terminal cognitive, reconfigurable and self-organized capability of cognitive wireless networks
