Abstract
Spectrum sensing is a main function in cognitive radio networks to detect the spectrum holes or unused
spectrum. Cooperative spectrum sensing schemes are recently suggested and they provide fast and accurate
results. In this paper, we suggested a new adaptive and cooperative spectrum sensing technique based on
the affine projection algorithm (APA). In this method, each secondary user (SU) takes a binary decision by
its local sensing of the spectrum using energy detector. Local decisions are then forward to the fusion
center (FC), where definitive decision is taken on the status of the spectrum using adaptive filters. In our
suggested technique, APA updates the weights of the adaptive filter by using the current and the 𝐿 1
delayed input signal vectors. Simulation results indicate that the suggested approach provides faster
convergence speed and less steady state mean square error than the existing methods that are based on the
normalized least mean square (NLMS) or the so-called kernel least mean square (KLMS) algorithm.
