主　　题：spectrum sensing energy detector optimal threshold dynamic threshold scheme 

摘      要：Spectrum sensing is the first step of cognitive radio （CR）. In this area, previous researches mostly consider distributed local nodes which are under identical channel conditions, hence uniform and fixed detection threshold is set with energy detector. However, the distributions of nodes in real environments are not quite the same. In this paper, the optimal threshold to minimize the total detection error over add＇itive white Gaussion noise （AWGN） channel is derived firstly. Then the dynamic threshold scheme is proposed to reduce the average total detection error. Simulations have shown that, with this scheme, sensing performance is improved.
