Abstract:
In this study, a novel and exact closed-form expression for detection probability of energy detection (ED) in terms of Meijer's G-function over α-μ generalized fading channels was derived. It is more accurate and practical than the existing exact expressions and has wide application prospects in the performance evaluations in various areas of wireless communications, especially in the wireless sensor network (WSN) and the cognitive radio network (CRN). Furthermore, an exact and simple analytical solution for the sample size meeting the desired detection performance in terms of the probability mass function of a Poisson distribution was also solved. Simulations verified the detection performance and accuracy of our derived expressions with a small sample size compared to the existing exact expressions and approximations.
