doc.: IEEE /0118r0 Submission May 2008 Gerald Chouinard, CRCSlide 15 Collaborative sensing Special considerations With simple OR gating of sensor reports, the probability of detection will increase rapidly with the number of sensors but Pfa will also tend to increase Pfa for individual sensors can be controlled by repeating sensing before reporting (each sensing window is independent statistically since it works against thermal noise) Data fusion at the base station could be based on a“majority vote” (e.g., 2 out of 6 sensors) from a small number of well selected statistically independent CPEs (e.g., 6 sensors in the same topographic area located at more than 500 m) to provide a high level of probability of detection while keeping Pfa low.

doc.: IEEE /0118r0 Submission May 2008 Gerald Chouinard, CRCSlide 16 Collaborative sensing to reduce the amount of false positive results Large number of 'false positive' results are likely to be generated from far away DTV stations due to the proposed low sensing threshold (-116 dBm). This would result in excessive number of unfounded UCS Notifications sent to the BS and unnecessary channel changes. One way to resolve this would be to use cooperative sensing which would provide for equivalent detection probability at a more relaxed sensing threshold. False detection of remote TV stations would then be reduced drastically
