DVB-T channels power measurements in indoor/outdoor cases

In this paper the analysis of the spectrum occupancy in the TV band is provided based on the indoor and outdoor measurements campaigns carried out in Poznan, Poland, and Barcelona, Spain, in 2013. The goal of this work is to discuss the stability and other important features of the observed spectrum occupancy in the context of indoor/outdoor Radio Environment Maps database deployment. Reliable deployment of these databases seems to be one of the critical points in practical utilization of the TV White Spaces for cognitive purposes inside buildings and in densely populated cities.Postprint (published version

Experimental Spectrum Sensing Measurements using USRP Software Radio Platform and GNU-Radio

International audienceIn cognitive radio, the secondary users are able to sense the spectral environment and use this information to opportunistically access the licensed spectrum in the absence of the primary users. In this paper, we present an experimental study that evaluates the performance of two different spectrum sensing techniques to detect primary user signals in real environment. The considered spectrum sensing techniques are: sequential energy and cyclosationary feature based detectors. An Universal Software Radio Peripheral platform with GNU-Radio is employed for implementation purpose. We analyzed the performances of both spectrum sensing methods by measuring the detection probabilities as a function of SNR for a given false alarm probability. As predicted theoretically, experimental measurements show that the cyclostationnary feature detector performs better than the sequential energy detector. However sequential energy detector can be used for reduction of sensing time in the presence of strong signals

DVB-T channels measurements for the deployment of outdoor REM databases

In this paper the analysis of the spectrum occupancy in the TV band is provided based on the outdoor measurements campaigns carried out in Poznan, Poland in 2013 and 2014. The goal of this work is to discuss the stability and other important features of the observed spectrum occupancy in the context of outdoor Radio Environment Maps database deployment. Reliable deployment of these databases seems to be one of the critical points in practical utilization of the TV White Spaces for cognitive purposes inside buildings and in densely populated cities. The results obtained for outdoor scenario are briefly compared with the previous measurements conducted indoors in Barcelona, Spain, and in Poznan, Poland.Peer Reviewe
