Abstract
The present invention relates to a spectrum sensing scheme for a radio network. The proposed approach involves applying sensing in a distributed fashion to obtain an estimate of the signal spectrum. A network of the multiple sensing nodes (-to-J) obtains such a spectrum estimate without requiring high-speed analog-to-digital converter to accommodate the large band-width of interest.
