advantage of this method is that it does not need priori
information and it is not affected by noise uncertainty [8].
However, its shortcomings are also obvious, mainly due to the
high complexity of the algorithm. When the signal correlation
is weak, the performance of the algorithm decreases sharply.
Entropy-based detection is discussed in document [9], its main
advantage is that it has better detection performance and is not
affected by noise uncertainty. However, its application scope is
limited due to many assumptions. As we all know, the Energy
detection method [10] is most widely used in practical systems
because it does not require a priori information of signals and
low computational complexity.
Abstract—Energy detector is the most common way of idle
spectrum sensing in cognitive radio. However, it is difficult to
meet spectrum sensing performance requirements under low
SNR conditions. We propose a novel algorithm that considers five
consecutive sensing items. The algorithm is named five items
energy detection (5IED), which makes a decision in one
perception item, taking into account two sensing items
immediately before the project and two sensing items
immediately after the project. The algorithm proposed in this
paper is to use the duty cycle value of the primary user (PU)
activity to track the change of PU state. In the presence of noise
uncertainty, theoretical analysis and simulation show that 5IED
has better detection probability and robustness than classical
energy detection (CED) algorithm. At the same time, we compare
5IED with other algorithms in terms of complexity and average
detection time. In addition, we also discuss and compare the
performance of each detector under different channel models.
Therefore, the performance of the new spectrum sensing
technology is usually compared to the performance of CED
[11]. However, the efficiency of CED detector is significantly
reduced in the case of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and
noise uncertainty, as occurred in the operating CR scenario
[12]. Recently, document [13] has proposed an improved
energy detection (3EED) algorithm. The main contribution of
this method is that it can greatly improve the detection
probability without increasing the complexity of the algorithm.
And it has the minimum FAP offset, which can be directly
compared with CED.

In cognitive radio (CR), in order to ensure the effective
sharing of spectrum, sensor nodes must have fast and accurate
spectrum sensing capability, which is an important part of
cognitive radio sensor networks (CRSN) [1]. At the same time
in the development of 5G communication system [2], it is also
a very important link. Spectrum sensing (SS) is of great
significance to the implementation of CR systems. The key to
spectrum sensing is to detect whether the primary user (PU)
signal exists or not, and then use the free spectrum band for
opportunistic communication [3].
Inspired by the document [13], in order to solve these
problems, we propose a new spectrum sensing algorithm,
called the five-items Energy Detection algorithm (5IED),
which utilizes the knowledge of the average duty cycle of the
PU activity model. In fact, 5IED uses five consecutive sensory
items, that is, it makes decisions in one sensory item, taking
into account both the previous two items and the subsequent
two items. As explained later, when the average duty cycle of
PU is low, the 5IED decision threshold expression becomes
independent of the parameters of the PU activity model. For
the low duty ratio, the analysis shows that 5IED is superior to
CED and 3EED.
At present, the research on SS at home and abroad includes
the following common methods. The advantage of the matched
filter method [4] is that the detection time is short and the
performance is optimal. However, this requires a priori
information [5] of the model and high phase synchronization.
Document [6] are cyclostationary detection method which has
advantages in distinguishing noise from signal. However, its
shortcomings are also obvious mainly due to high
computational complexity and long detection time. In [7], a
method based on eigenvalue detection is proposed. The

The rest of this article is organized as follows. First, in
Section 2, we review the advantages and disadvantages of
spectrum sensing models and traditional energy detection.
Then in Section 3, we detail the process of the 5IED algorithm.
In addition, we also derive the false alarm probability and
