This paper proposes a novel cooperative spectrum sensing network (CSSN) with improved energy detector (IED) based cognitive radio (CR) users. Every CR user is furnished with multiple antennas ( M ) and performs itself selection combining (SC) operation. All the CRs sense a primary user (PU) via erro...
