Abstract
Spectrum sensing is the active research area in the Cognitive radio networks that initiates the effective data sharing between the licensed and the unlicensed users of Cognitive Network. Maximizing the detection probability for a provided false alarm rate is a hectic challenge of most of the spectral sensing methods. The paper proposes a spectral sensing method, termed as Krill-Herd Whale optimization-based actor critic neural network. The unoccupied spectrum is optimally determined using the proposed method that allocates the free spectrum bands to the primary users instantly such that the delay is minimized due to the effective functioning of the fusion center. For the effective sensing, the Eigen-value-based cooperative sensing is activated in the cognitive radio. The analysis of the proposed method is progressed based on the performance metrics, such as false alarm probability and detection probability. The proposed spectral sensing method outperforms the existing methods that yield a maximum probability of detection and minimum probability of false alarm at a rate of 0.9805 and of 0.009.
