This paper conducts a comparative analysis of two prominent spectrum sensing methods, energy detection (ED) and matched filter detection (MFD), under different modulation schemes, specifically binary phase shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), and 64-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), in an Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) channel. The study evaluates the performance of ED and MFD in terms of probability of detection, false alarm, and sensitivity to signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Simulation results indicate that 64-QAM is the preferred modulation scheme for achieving superior spectral efficiency. The analysis leverages receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves to highlight the trade-offs between the probability of detection and probability of false alarm. These findings provide critical insights into the selection of appropriate spectrum sensing techniques, enhancing overall spectrum utilization in cognitive radio network. |
