Spectrum sensing is studied for multi-user cognitive radio networks in this paper. An improved spectrum sensing method----energy-cooperative detection method is developed, which combines the double threshold energy detecting method with the “OR” fusion decision rule. The simulation is done for both AWGN channel and Rayleigh channel, and the advantages of the improved method are verified.
