In this Letter, the authors study analytical performance of various soft data fusion (SDF) schemes over generalised fading channels in a cognitive radio network. Two generalised fading models, namely, $\kappa -\mu $κ−μ and $\eta -\mu $η−μ are considered individually in the sensing channels and vario...
