Dynamic threshold-setting for RF-powered cognitive radio networks in non-Gaussian noise

In this paper we give a dynamic threshold-setting method to detect the existence of primary signals for the energy harvesting node in non-Gaussian noise background. Combined with the fractional lower order statistics (FLOS), we propose a weighting factor for dynamic threshold-setting to exploit the existence of the PU to harvest RF energy, namely weighting factor based fractional lower order moment (WF-FLOM) detector. Numerical simulation results verify that the proposed method is effective for the EH node, when the signal-to-noise ratio is low or the back ground noise varies.
