Abstract
Channel sensing and spectrum allocation has long been of interest as a prospective addition to cognitive radios for wireless communications systems occupying license-free bands. Conventional approaches to cyclic spectral analysis have been proposed as a method for classifying signals for applications where the carrier frequency and bandwidths are unknown, but is, however, computationally complex and requires a significant amount of observation time for adequate performance. Neural networks have been used for signal classification, but only for situations where the baseband signal is present. By combining these techniques a more efficient and reliable classifier can be developed where a significant amount of processing is performed offline, thus reducing online computation. In this paper we take a renewed look at signal classification using spectral coherence and neural networks, the performance of which is characterized by Monte Carlo simulations
