Resource allocation in multicarrier cognitive radio networks / Allocation des ressources dans les réseaux radio cognitives basée sur la modulation multi-porteuses

Jin, Xin 13 June 2014 (has links)
Vu que la modulation multi-porteuses est largement utilisée dans les communications sans fil et la radio cognitive (CR pour “Cognitive Radio”) améliore l’utilisation des ressources radio et du spectre, nous nous concentrons sur les réseaux radio cognitifs (CR) pour faire progresser l’allocation des ressources, le routage, et l’ajustement de la puissance d’émission vers les récepteurs (synthèse de faisceaux ou beamforming) dans cette thèse. Nous étudions deux types de modulations multi-porteuses :Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) à base d’ondelettes (WOFDM pourWavelet OFDM) et OFDM dans sa forme classique ou traditionnelle (OFDM s’appuyant sur la transformation de Fourier pour partager les ressources). WOFDM adopte Wavelet Packet Modulation (WPM) pour obtenir des lobes secondaires beaucoup plus faibles dans la densité spectrale de puissance du signal transmis en comparaison à OFDM. WPM permet de surcroit à WOFDM de s’affranchir du Préfixe Cyclique (indispensable à OFDM) et d’exploiter l’égalisation pour combattre l’Interférence entre Symboles (ISI). Nous évaluons la performance de WOFDM sous différentes conditions du canal radio. Nous comparons la performance de WOFDM, qui s’appuie sur l’égalisation dans le domaine temporel, à celle de OFDM, qui requiert l’utilisation du Préfixe Cyclique et opère dans le domaine fréquentiel / In view of the wide usage of multicarrier modulation in wireless communications and the prominent contribution of Cognitive Radio (CR) to deal with critical shortage of spectrum resource, we focus on multicarrier based cognitive radio networks to investigate general resource allocation issues: subcarrier allocation, power allocation, routing, and beamforming in this thesis. We investigate two types of multicarrier modulation: Wavelet-based Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (WOFDM) and Fourier-based Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). WOFDM adopts Wavelet Packet Modulation (WPM). Compared with fourier-based OFDM, wavelet-based OFDM achieves much lower side lobe in the transmitted signal. Wavelet-based OFDM excludes Cyclic Prefix (CP) which is used in fourier-based OFDM systems. Wavelet-based OFDM turns to exploit equalization to combat Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI). We evaluate the performance of WOFDM under different channel conditions. We compare the performance of wavelet-based OFDM using equalization in the time domain to that of fourier-based OFDM with CP and the equalization in the frequency domain

Initial access for 5G mmWave private networks

Li, Mei January 2023 (has links)
This research delves into wireless communication systems, with a particular focus on initial access processes, channel modeling, and beamforming strategies. The study involves meticulous channel data collection across diverse urban, suburban, and rural terrains, each presenting unique propagation challenges. The research also simulates a typical communication network with four base stations, adjusting their configurations to suit the varied terrains. A central focus is the implementation of the cell search methodology, including the exploration of random beamforming at both system and cell levels. The findings indicate that the cell-level system configurations do not yield significant performance improvements over the baseline configuration. Furthermore, potential increased costs associated with this strategy are noted. However, it is essential to highlight that this project serves as a critical exploration of the potential benefits of random beamforming at the cell level within non-public network scenarios. While the improvements observed are minimal, the insights gained from this research are poised to guide future research endeavors and contribute to the elimination of uncertainties in the field of wireless communication. / Denna forskning fördjupar sig i trådlösa kommunikationssystem, med särskilt fokus på initiala åtkomstprocesser, kanalmodellering och strålformningsstrategier. Studien involverade noggrann kanaldatainsamling över olika urbana, förorts- och landsbygdsterränger, var och en med unika spridningsutmaningar. Forskningen simulerade också ett typiskt kommunikationsnätverk med fyra basstationer som justerade deras konfigurationer för att passa de varierande terrängerna. Ett centralt fokus var implementeringen av cellsökningsmetoden, inklusive utforskning av slumpmässig strålformning på både system- och cellnivå. Resultaten indikerade att systemkonfigurationerna på cellnivå inte gav signifikanta prestandaförbättringar jämfört med baslinjekonfigurationen. Dessutom noterades potentiella ökade kostnader förknippade med denna strategi. Det är dock viktigt att betona att detta projekt fungerade som en kritisk utforskning av de potentiella fördelarna med slumpmässig strålformning på cellnivå inom icke-offentliga nätverksscenarier. Även om de observerade förbättringarna var minimala, är insikterna från denna forskning redo att vägleda framtida forskningsinsatser och bidra till att eliminera osäkerheter inom området trådlös kommunikation.

A Travelling Wave Slot Array based on a Double-Layer Lens for 77 GHz Automotive Radar

Ugle, Ashray January 2023 (has links)
Automotive radars have gained considerable interest in recent years for applications of road safety for vulnerable road users. The use of multipleinput and multiple-output (MIMO) technology in automotive radar has helped in realising a virtual aperture greater than the physical aperture of the antenna which has reduced the size of the overall radar module. But increasing the number of MIMO channels for greater angular resolution can introduce increased computational complexity, processing time and latency. A new type of radar using the multiple input multiple steered output (MIMSO) radar can alleviate these concerns by replacing the angle-FFT with beamforming by means of a lens. A double-layer lens with a beamforming layer and a radiating layer with a radiating aperture on the 2-D footprint of the lens is proposed as an antenna system for this new radar technique. This work focuses on the radiating aperture which has been realised as a travelling wave planar slotted array in gap waveguide technology due to its benefit of low losses and ease of manufacturing. A ridged gap waveguide is chosen for the reduction of the waveguide size and to avoid the appearance of grating lobes in the visible range for large scan angles. The planar slotted array is synthesised in the travelling wave configuration and reflection cancelling notches are used in the ridge to cancel the reflections from the slots. The aperture is chosen to be of a circular shape for a compact design and to maximise aperture efficiency. The planar array is verified with a full-wave simulation with a bandwidth of 76 to 81 GHz and a realised gain of 27.7 dBi at the centre frequency. The array can be scanned up to ±50◦ with a scan loss of 2.4 dBi. / Fordonsradarer har fått stort intresse under de senaste åren för tillämpningar av trafiksäkerhet för utsatta trafikanter. Användningen av MIMO-teknik (multipleinput och multiple-output) i bilradar har hjälpt till att realisera en virtuell bländaröppning som är större än antennens fysiska bländaröppning, vilket har minskat storleken på den totala radarmodulen. Men att öka antalet MIMOkanaler för större vinkelupplösning kan introducera ökad beräkningskomplexitet, bearbetningstid och latens. En ny typ av radar som använder MIMSO-radarn (multiple input multiple steered output) kan lindra dessa problem genom att ersätta vinkel-FFT med strålformning med hjälp av en lins. En dubbelskiktslins med ett strålformande skikt och ett strålande skikt med en strålande bländare på linsens 2D-fotavtryck föreslås som ett antennsystem för denna nya radarteknik. Detta arbete fokuserar på strålningsöppningen som har realiserats som en plan slitsad array i gap-vågledarteknologi på grund av dess fördel med låga förluster och enkel tillverkning. En vågledare med räfflade gap väljs för att minska vågledarstorleken och för att undvika uppkomsten av gitterlober i det synliga området för stora avsökningsvinklar. Den plana uppsättningen syntetiseras i den vandringsvågkonfigurationen och reflektionsupphävande skåror används i åsen för att eliminera reflektionerna från slitsarna. Bländaren är vald för att ha en cirkulär form för en kompakt design och för att maximera bländareffektiviteten. Planar arrayen verifieras med en helvågssimulering med en bandbredd på 76 till 81 GHz och en realiserad vinst på 27, 7 dBi vid mittfrekvensen. Arrayen kan skannas upp till ±50◦ med en skanningsförlust på 2, 4 dBi.

Algoritmos de imagen y sonido digital con restricciones de tiempo real

Alventosa Rueda, Francisco Javier 28 February 2022 (has links)
[ES] En la actualidad, cada vez existen más y más tareas que necesitamos exportar y automatizar en dispositivos portables de bajo consumo que se alimentan de baterías, en los cuales es imprescindible realizar un uso "optimo" de la energía disponible con la finalidad de no drenarlas rápidamente.En la sección primera de esta tesis, "Filtros de señales de audio digital", "optimizamos" las implementaciones de diferentes filtros, tanto generales como específicos, para aplicaciones de sonido digital diseñados e implantados en plataformas basadas en las arquitecturas ARM®. Como filtros generales, trabajamos con los filtros FIR, IIR y Parallel IIR, siendo este tipo de filtros implementados a bajo nivel con instrucciones vectoriales NEON®. Finalmente, se implementa un filtro de separación de señales conocido como "Beamforming", el cual plantea después de su estudio, la problemática de realizar una factorización QR de una matriz relativamente grande en tiempo real, lo cual nos lleva a desarrollar diferentes técnicas de "aceleración" de los cálculos de la misma. En la segunda parte, "Rellenado de mapa de profundidad de una escena", describimos el proceso de rellenado de un mapa de profundidad de una escena capturada a partir del uso de la imagen RGB y de un mapa de profundidad disperso donde únicamente tenemos valores de profundidad en los bordes de los objetos que componen la escena. Estos algoritmos de "rellenado" del mapa de profundidad, también han sido diseñados e implantados en dispositivos basados en la arquitectura ARM®. / [CA] Actualment, cada vegada existixen més i més tasques que tenen la necessitat d'exportar i automatitzar a dispositius portables de baix consum que s'alimenten amb bateríes, als quals es imprescindible realitzar un ús "óptim" de l'energia disponible amb la finalitat de no drenar-les ràpidament. Part I: Filtres de senyals d'àudio digital En aquesta secció "optimitzarem" les implementacions de diferents filtres, tant generals com específics, empreats a aplicacions de so digital disenyats e implantats a plataformes basades a les arquitectures ARM®. Com a filtres generals, treballem amb els filtres FIR, IIR y Parallel IIR, sent aquests tipus de filtres implementats a baix nivell amb instruccions vectorials NEON®. Finalment, s'implementa un filtro de separació de senyals conegut com "Beamforming", el qual planteja després del seu estudi, la problem`atica de realitzar una factorizació QR d'una matriu relativament gran en temps real, i açó ens porta a desenvolupar diferents tècniques "d'acceleració" dels càlculs de la mateixa. Part II: Emplenat del mapa de profunditat d'una escena A la secció d'image per computador, descrivim el procés d'emplenat d'un mapa de profunditat d'una escena capturada fent servir l'image RGB i un mapa de profunditat dispers on únicament tenim valors de profunditat als bordes dels objetes que composen l'escena. Aquests algoritmes "d'emplenat" del mapa de profunditat, també han sigut disenyats e implantats a dispositius basats en l'arquitectura ARM®. / [EN] Currently, there are more and more tasks that we need to export and automate in low-consumption mobile devices that are powered by batteries, in which it is essential to make an "optimum" use of the available energy in order to do not drain them quickly. Part I: Filters of digital audio signals In this section we "optimize" the implementations of different filters, both general and specific, for digital sound applications designed and implemented on platforms based on the ARM®. As general filters, we work with the FIR, IIR and Parallel IIR filters, these types of filters being implemented at a low level with NEON®vector instructions. Finally, a signal separation filter known as "Beamforming" is implemented, which set out after its study, the problem of performing a QR factorization of a relatively large matrix in real time, which leads us to develop different techniques of "acceleration" of the calculations of it. Part II: Filling the depth map of a scene In the computer image section, we describe the process of filling in a depth map of a captured scene using RGB image and a sparse depth map where we only have depth values at the edges of the objects that make up the scene. These depth map "filling" algorithms have also been designed and implemented in devices based on the ARM® architecture. / Alventosa Rueda, FJ. (2022).

Free-field inlet / outlet noise identification on aircraft engines using microphones array / Identification du bruit d'entrée et de sortie sur des moteurs d'avion par antennes microphoniques

Khatami, Iman January 2014 (has links)
Abstract : This thesis considers the discrimination of inlet / exhaust noise of aero-engines in free-field static tests using far-field microphone arrays. Various techniques are compared for this problem, including classical beamforming (CB), regularized inverse method (Tikhonov regularization), LI - generalized inverse beamforming (LI-GIB), clean-PSF, clean-SC and two novel methods which are called hybrid method and clean-hybrid. The classical beamforming method is disadvantaged due to its need for a high number of measurement microphones in accordance with the requirements. Similarly, the inverse method is disadvantaged due to their need of having a priori source information. The classical Tikhonov regularization provides improvements in solution stability, however continues to be disadvantaged due to its requirement of imposing a stronger penalty for undetected source positions. Coherent and incoherent sources are resolved by LI-generalized inverse beamforming (L1-GIB). This algorithm can distinguish the multipole sources as well as the monopoles sources. However, source identification by LI-generalized inverse beamforming takes much time and requires a PC with high memory. The hybrid method is a new regularization method which involves the use of an a priori beamforming measurement to define a data-dependent discrete smoothing norm for the regularization of the inverse problem. Compared to the classical beamforming and the inverse modeling, the hybrid (beamforming regularization) approach provides improved source strength maps without substantial added complexity. Although the hybrid method rather solves the disadvantage of the former methods, the application of this method for identification of weaker sources in the presence of the strong sources isn't satisfactory. This can be explained by the large penalization being applied to the weaker source in the hybrid method, which results in underestimation of source strength for this source. To overcome this defect, the clean-SC method and the proposed clean-hybrid method, which is a combination of the hybrid method and the clean-SC, are applied. These methods remove the effect of the strong sources in source power maps to identify the weaker sources. The proposed methods which represent the main contribution of this thesis show promising results and opens new research avenues. Theoretical study of all approaches is performed for various sources and configurations of array. In order to validate the theoretical study, several laboratory experiments are conducted at Universito de Sherbrooke. The proposed methods have further been applied to the measured noise data from a Pratt & Whitney Canada turbo-fan engine and have been observed to provide better spatial resolution and solution robustness with a limited number of measurement microphones compared to the existing methods. / Résumé : La présente thèse étudie la discrimination du bruit d'entrée / de sortie des moteurs d'avion dans des tests statiques en champ libre en utilisant des antennes de microphones en champ lointain. Diverses techniques sont comparées pour ce problème, dont la formation de voie classique (CB), la méthode inverse régularisée (régularisation de Tikhonov), la formation de voies généralisée inverse (L1-GIB), Clean-PSF, Clean-SC et deux méthodes proposées qui s'appellent la méthode hybride et la méthode Clean-hybride. La méthode la formation de voie classique est désavantagée en raison de son besoin de nombreux microphones de mesure. De même, la méthode inverse est désavantagée en raison du besoin d'information a priori sur les sources. La régularisation Tikhonov classique fournit des améliorations dans. la stabilité de la solution; cependant elle reste désavantageuse en raison de son exigence d'imposer une pénalité plus forte pour des positions de source non détectées. Des sources cohérentes et incohérentes peuvent être résolues par la formation de voies généralisée inverse (L1-GIB). Cet algorithme peut identifier les sources multi- polaires aussi bien que les sources monopolaires. Cependant, l'identification de source par la formation de voies généralisée inverse prend beaucoup de temps et exige un ordinateur avec une capacité de mémoire élevée. La méthode hybride est une nouvelle méthode de régularisation qui implique l'utilisation d'un traitement par formation de voie a priori pour définir une norme discrète et dépendante des données pour la régularisation du problème inverse. En comparaison avec la formation de voie classique et la méthode inverse, l'approche hybride (régularisation par formation de voie) fournit des cartographies améliorées d'amplitudes de sources sans aucune complexité supplémentaire substantielle. Bien que la méthode hybride lève les limitations des méthodes classiques, l'application de cette méthode pour l'identification de sources de faible puissance en présence de sources de forte puissance n'est pas satisfaisante. On peut expliquer ceci par la plus grande pénalisation appliquée à la source plus faible dans la méthode hybride, qui aboutit à la sous-estimation de l'amplitude de cette source. Pour surmonter ce défaut, la méthode Clean-SC et la méthode Clean-hybrides proposée qui est une combinaison de la méthode hybride et de Clean-SC sont appliquées. Ces méthodes éliminent l'effet des sources fortes dans les cartographies de puissance de sources pour identifier les sources plus faibles. Les méthodes proposées qui représentent la contribution principale de cette thèse conduisent à des résultats fiables et ouvrent des nouvelles voies de recherche. L'étude théorique de toutes les approches est menée pour divers types de sources et de configurations microphoniques. Pour valider l'étude théorique, plusieurs expériences en laboratoire sont réalisées à Université de Sherbrooke. Les méthodes proposées ont été appliquées aux données de bruit mesurées d'une turbo-soufflante Pratt & Whitney Canada pour fournir une meilleure résolution spatiale des sources acoustique et une solution robuste avec un nombre limité des microphones de mesure comparé aux méthodes existantes.

Sound Source Localization and Beamforming for Teleconferencing Solutions

Kjellson, Angelica January 2014 (has links)
In teleconferencing the audio quality is key to conducting successful meetings. The conference room setting imposes various challenges on the speech signal processing, such as noise and interfering signals, reverberation, or participants positioned far from the telephone unit. This work aims at improving the received speech signal of a conference telephone by implementing sound source localization and beamforming. The implemented microphone array signal processing techniques are compared to the performance of an existing multi-microphone solution and evaluated under various conditions using a planar uniform circular array. Recordings of test-sequences for the evaluation were performed using a custom-built array mockup. The implemented algorithms did not show good enough performance to motivate the increased computational complexity compared to the existing solution. Moreover, an increase in number of microphones used was concluded to have little or no effect on the performance of the methods. The type of microphone used was, however, concluded to have impact on the performance and a subjective listening evaluation indicated a preference for omnidirectional microphones which is recommended to investigate further. / God ljudkvalitet är en grundsten för lyckade telefonmöten. Miljön i ett konferens-rum medför ett flertal olika utmaningar för behandlingen av mikrofonsignalerna: det kan t.ex. vara brus och störningar, eller att den som talar befinner sig långt från telefonen. Målet med detta arbete är att förbättra den talsignal som tas upp av en konferenstelefon genom att implementera lösningar för lokalisering av talaren och riktad ljudupptagning med hjälp av ett flertal mikrofoner. De implementerade metoderna jämförs med en befintlig lösning och utvärderas under olika brusscenarion för en likformig cirkulär mikrofonkonstellation. För utvärderingen användes testsignaler som spelades in med en specialbyggd enhet. De implementerade algoritmerna kunde inte uppvisa en tillräcklig förbättring i jämförelse med den befintliga lösningen för att motivera den ökade beräkningskomplexitet de skulle medföra. Dessutom konstaterades att en fördubbling av antalet mikrofoner gav liten eller ingen förbättring på metoderna. Vilken typ av mikrofon som användes konstaterades däremot påverka resultatet och en subjektiv utvärdering indikerade en preferens för de rundupptagande mikrofonerna, en skillnad som föreslås undersökas vidare.

Estimação de imagens acústicas com arranjos de microfones. / Estimation of acoustic images with microphones arrays.

Arroyo, César Saulo Belli 22 May 2015 (has links)
Nas últimas décadas, a poluição sonora tornou-se um grande problema para a sociedade. É por esta razão que a indústria tem aumentado seus esforços para reduzir a emissão de ruído. Para fazer isso, é importante localizar quais partes das fontes sonoras são as que emitem maior energia acústica. Conhecer os pontos de emissão é necessário para ter o controle das mesmas e assim poder reduzir o impacto acústico-ambiental. Técnicas como \"beamforming\" e \"Near-Field Acoustic Holography\" (NAH) permitem a obtenção de imagens acústicas. Essas imagens são obtidas usando um arranjo de microfones localizado a uma distância relativa de uma fonte emissora de ruído. Uma vez adquiridos os dados experimentais pode-se obter a localização e magnitude dos principais pontos de emissão de ruído. Do mesmo modo, ajudam a localizar fontes aeroacústicas e vibro acústicas porque são ferramentas de propósito geral. Usualmente, estes tipos de fontes trabalham em diferentes faixas de frequência de emissão. Recentemente, foi desenvolvida a transformada de Kronecker para arranjos de microfones, a qual fornece uma redução significativa do custo computacional quando aplicada a diversos métodos de reconstrução de imagens, desde que os microfones estejam distribuídos em um arranjo separável. Este trabalho de mestrado propõe realizar medições com sinais reais, usando diversos algoritmos desenvolvidos anteriormente em uma tese de doutorado, quanto à qualidade do resultado obtido e à complexidade computacional, e o desenvolvimento de alternativas para tratamento de dados quando alguns microfones do arranjo apresentarem defeito. Para reduzir o impacto de falhas em microfones e manter a condição de que o arranjo seja separável, foi desenvolvida uma alternativa para utilizar os algoritmos rápidos, eliminando-se apenas os microfones com defeito, de maneira que os resultados finais serão obtidos levando-se em conta todos os microfones do arranjo. / In recent decades, noise pollution has become a major problem for society. It is for this reason that the industry has increased its efforts to reduce the emission of noise. To do this, it is important to find out which parts of the sound sources are emitting greater acoustic energy. Knowing the emission points is required to keep track of them and thus be able to reduce acoustic and environmental impact. Techniques such as \"beamforming\" and \"Near-Field Acoustic Holography\" (NAH) allow obtaining acoustic images. These images are obtained using an array of microphones located at a relative distance from a noise source. Once acquired experimental data, one can obtain the location and the magnitude of the main points of noise emission. Similarly, we can find aeroacoustic and vibroacoustic sources, because they are general-purpose tools. Usually, these types of sources work in different frequency bands of the emission. Recently, a Kronecker Array Transform (KAT) was developed to microphone arrays, which provides a significant reduction in computational cost when applied to various image reconstruction methods, provided that the microphones are distributed in a separable array. This thesis proposes perform measurements with real signals using different algorithms previously developed in a dissertation about the quality of the obtained results and computational complexity, and the development of alternatives for data processing when some microphones of the array are defective. To reduce the impact of failures in microphones and maintain the condition that the array is separable, one alternative has been developed to use the fast algorithms by removing only the defective microphones, so that the final results will be obtained taking into account every microphone of the array.

Contribution à la radio intelligente à forte mobilité : adaptation spectrale et allocation dynamique des ressources / Contribution to cognitive radio for high mobility railway : spectral adaptation and dynamic allocation of available resources

Bouallegue, Kaïs 28 June 2017 (has links)
Les objectifs essentiels des opérateurs ferroviaires sont d'augmenter la sécurité, de réduire les coûts d'exploitation et de maintenance, d'accroître l'attrait et le profit en offrant de nouveaux services aux passagers. Ces objectifs seront atteintsgrâce à une énorme augmentation des échanges de flux de données entre les infrastructures existantes et les technologies présentes utilisées au bord du train. L'efficacité spectrale, l'optimisation des ressources radioélectriques ainsi que l'interopérabilité mais aussi la fiabilité des communications sont des éléments majeurs pour les applications ferroviaires. Ces contraintes ainsi que l'utilisation sporadique des bandes fréquentielles à disposition ont donné le jour à la radio intelligente. Cette dernière se présente comme une technologie émergente qui améliore les performances des systèmes radio existants en intégrant l'intelligence artificielle avec la radio logicielle. Un système radio intelligent est défini par sa capacité à être conscient de son environnement radioélectrique. En effet, afin d'optimiser au maximum les opportunités spectrales qui lui sont offerts, le dispositif radio intelligent doit être capable de transmettresur des bandes laissées libres tout en réalisant un sondage spectral afin de ne pas interférer avec les utilisateurs ayant la priorité sur la bande mais aussi pour détecter d'autres fréquences vacantes. Dans le cadre de cette thèse, nous proposons de nous concentrer sur la problématique de détection de spectre dans un environnement à très forte mobilité. Certaines contraintes sont à prendre en compte, telles que la vitesse. À cela s'ajoute les contraintes de réglementation concernant les critères de détection, telles que la norme IEEE 802.22 WRAN qui stipule que la détection d'un utilisateur prioritaire doit être réalisée à -21dB dans un laps de temps de 2 secondes. L'objectif est donc de concevoir un terminal radio intelligent dans les conditions physiques et réglementaires de transmission dans un environnent ferroviaire. / The main objectives of railway operators are to increase safety, reduce operating and maintenance costs, increase attractiveness and profit by offering new services to customers. These objectives will be achieved through a huge increase of data fluxes between existing infrastructure and the technologies currently used on the train. Spectral efficiency, optimization of radio resources, interoperability and reliability of communications are major elements for railway applications. These constraints and the sporadic use of available frequency bands have gave rise to cognitive radio. Cognitive radio is an emerging technology that improves the performance of existing radio systems by integrating artificial intelligence with software radio. A cognitive radio system is defined by its ability to be aware of its radio environment. Indeed, to optimize as much as possible the available spectral opportunities, the cognitive radio device must be able to transmit on free bands while performing a spectrum sensing to not interfere with users having priority on the band and to detect other vacant frequencies. As part of this thesis, we propose to focus on the problem of spectrum detection in a highly mobile environment. Some constraints should be considered, such as speed. Added to this, there are regulatory constraints on detection criteria, such as the IEEE 802.22 WRAN standard, which stipulates that detection of a priority user must be performed at -21 dB within a period of 2 seconds. The objective is therefore to design an intelligent radio terminal in the physical and regulatory conditions of transmission in a railway environment.
