    This comprehensive reference text discusses concepts of cognitive radio and the advances in the field of spectrum sensing.

    This text discusses the concept of cognitive radio for next generation wireless communication and a very critical aspect of cognitive radio – that is, spectrum sensing – in detail. It covers important topics including narrowband spectrum sensing, wideband spectrum sensing, cooperative spectrum sensing, system and channel models, detection algorithms, approximation of decision statistics, and theoretical analysis of detection algorithms in detail. Separate chapters are dedicated to discussing the analysis and use of detection algorithms for narrowband spectrum sensing, wideband spectrum sensing, and cooperative wideband spectrum sensing.

    Aimed at graduate students and academic researchers in the fields of electrical engineering and electronics and communication engineering, this text:

    • Discusses concepts of cognitive radio and research in spectrum sensing.
    • Presents mathematical analysis of algorithms considering practical environment.
    • Explains novel wideband spectrum sensing algorithms with detailed analysis.
    • Provides mathematical derivations to help readers.
    • Discusses basic spectrum sensing algorithms, from narrowband spectrum sensing to the more advanced wideband spectrum sensing.

    signal processing, and machine learning and has several journals and international
    conference papers, including IEEE Transactions. He has also served as a reviewer
    for IEEE Transactions, letters, and top tier conferences.

    MANJUNATH V. JOSHI:
    Prof. Manjunath V. Joshi received the B.E. degree from the University of Mysore,
    Mysore, India, and the M.Tech. and Ph.D. degrees from the Indian Institute of Technology
    Bombay (IIT Bombay), Mumbai, India. He is currently serving as a Professor
    and and Dean Research and Development with the Dhirubhai Ambani Institute
    of Information and Communication Technology, Gandhinagar, India. He has been
    involved in active research in the areas of Signal and Image Processing, Cognitive
    Radio, Computer Vision, and Machine Learning and has several publications in quality
    journals and conferences. He has co-authored four books entitled Motion-Free
    Super Resolution (Springer, New York-2005), Digital Heritage Reconstruction using
    Super-resolution and Inpainting (Morgan and Claypool-2016), Regularization in Hyperspectral
    Unmixing (SPIE Press-2016), and the book entitled Multi-resolution Image
    Fusion in Remote Sensing (Cambridge University Press, UK-2019). Currently,
    he is contributing as a co-author of a book to be published by Springer in remote
    sensing, where seven positive reviews have been received. So far, nine Ph.D. students
    have been graduated under his supervision. Dr. Joshi was a recipient of the
    Outstanding Researcher Award in Engineering Section by IIT Bombay in 2005 and
    the Dr. Vikram Sarabhai Award for 2006-2007 of information technology constituted
    by the Government of Gujarat, India. He served as a Program Co-Chair for the 3rd
    ACCVWorkshop on E-Heritage, 2014, held in Singapore. He has also served as Visiting
    Professor at IIT Gandhinagar and IIIT Vadodara. He has visited Germany, Italy,
    France, Hong Kong, the USA, Canada, South Korea, Indonesia and contributed to
    research in his area of expertise.
