Abstract: Cognitive radio is a novel approach for improving the utilization of the radio electromagnetic spectrum.When a frequency band has primary and secondary users, the cognitive radios of the secondary users must monitor the band and be ready to cease their transmissions if a primary user's radio begins to transmit. Conventional spectrum sensing requires the secondary radios to refrain from communicating while they check for the emergence of primary signals. This paper gives an overview of different spectrum monitoring
approaches for OFDM based cognitive radio network............
