Doctoral Dissertation in Electrical Engineering Department Explores “Intelligent Cooperative Spectrum Sensing Schemes for Cognitive Radio Systems”
The Department of Electrical Engineering has awarded a Ph.D. degree to student Ali Abdul Radi for his dissertation titled:
“Intelligent Cooperative Spectrum Sensing Schemes for Cognitive Radio Systems.”
The research presented in the dissertation proposes two innovative centralized cooperative spectrum sensing systems. These systems are based on two newly developed mathematical frameworks for deriving two types of novel Denoised Mixed Features (DMFs). In addition, the work introduces six new methods that utilize these DMFs in conjunction with two unsupervised machine learning algorithms. The proposed approaches were simulated and rigorously evaluated within the Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel environment using MATLAB/SIMULINK software.
