High-Efficiency FCME-Based Noise Power Estimation for Long-Term and Wide-Band Spectrum Measurements

Statistics in terms of spectrum occupancy are useful for efficient and smart dynamic spectrum sharing, and the statistics can be obtained by long-term and wide-band spectrum measurements. In this paper, we investigate noise floor (NF) estimation for energy detection (ED)-based long-term and wide-ban...
