Abstract:-Cognitive radio is a paradigm for wireless communication, in which either a network or a wireless node changes its transmission or reception parameters to communicate efficiently avoiding interference with licensed or unlicensed users. The OFDM based cognitive radio system is used for detection of signals. But in OFDM systems the performance of the signal is greatly affected by narrowband interference signals. In the proposed method Expectation maximization algorithm is used to detect signal even in the uncertainty condition. The literature survey discusses all the existing interference cancellation techniques. Keywords:-Cognitive radio, interference detection, Nulling mode, OFDM.

INTRODUCTION

ORTHOGONAL frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a promising technique to realise high data rate transmission over multipath fading channels. Due to the use of a guard interval (GI) it allows for a simple one tap equalizer [1]. Over the past decade, OFDM has found widespread application in several standards such as 802.16e wireless metropolitan area network (WRAN) [2]. In OFDM systems, synchronization is clearly one of the most important steps that should be performed. It is required to set the FFT window within the OFDM symbol not to incur intersymbol interference (ISI). It is also important to synchronize the carrier frequency in the receiver since OFDM systems can only tolerate carrier frequency offset (CFO), which is a fraction of the subcarrier spacing [3]. OFDM previously reported to be particularly sensitive to errors due to imperfect synchronization, as reviewed in [4] and [5]. Thus pilot symbol assisted detection and synchronization for OFDM is topical [6]. Pilot symbol assisted detection and synchronization for OFDM rely on repeated pseudorandom binary sequences(PRBS) being embedded in the pilot symbols, which are designed to have near-optimal unity peak to average power ratios in both the time and frequency domain. Common approaches to pilot symbol assisted detection are based on the correlation properties of the repeated PRBS in the pilot symbol [7]. When pilot symbols are available on some sub-carriers, initial estimates are easily obtained and can be improved through frequency and time interpolation[8] according to the minimum mean square error criterion[9]. Cognitive radio is used for achieving highly reliable communication and also for efficient utilization of the radio spectrum [10]. The software designed radio, has been proposed as the mean to promote the efficient use of the spectrum by exploiting the existence of spectrum holes [11], [12]. Over the past years,[13] the incorporation of software in to radio systems has become increasingly common. This has allowed for faster upgrades, and has given these wireless communication devices more flexibility, and the ability to transmit and receive using a variety of protocols and modulation schemes. Cognitive radio technology is perfectly suited to opportunistically employ the wireless spectrum. In essence, cognitive radios could skillfully navigate their way through interference, and greatly improve spectral efficiency.

LITERATURE REVIEW

1. Open spectrum wireless networks R.Yiping Xing, Chandramouli, Stefan Mangold and N.Sai Sankar [14]proposed continuous time Markov models for dynamic spectrum access in open spectrum wireless networks. Both queuing and no queuing cases are considered. A random access protocol is used to achieve airtime fairness. A distributed version of this protocol that uses only local information is also proposed based on Home Equalis(HE) anthropological model. Inequality aversion by the radio systems to achieve fairness is captured by this model. These protocols are then extended to spectrum agile radios. Home equalis society models the nonrational inequality aversion of decision-making radio systems. This approach bridges between multiple disciplines, social science and radio communications engineering. Recently as more and more communication protocols continuous-time Markov chain model ling of spectrum etiquette for dynamic spectrum access with and without queuing models are investigate. Continuous time Markov chain models are accurate in predicting the behavior of open spectrum access under the assumption that the arrival traffic has Poisson distribution. A distributed version of this access protocol that uses only local information based on a HE society model is also observed to work well in wireless networks is observed to outperform the fixed spectrum access counterpart. It is seen that spectrum agile radios produce superior airtime performance and blocking probabilities making an attractive option for next general open spectrum wireless networks. 2. Preamble Structure Dong Seung kwon, Hyoungsoo Lim and Han-Kyu Park proposed [15] a preamble structure for single frequency cellular systems using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing. The preamble has a repeating pattern in time domain, from which a subscriber station can acquire the frame timing and the carrier frequency offset. Preambles of neighbor cells use an identical set of subcarriers that are modulated with different codes in frequency domain.

A preamble structure, support successful initial synchronizations and cell search in cellular OFDMA systems with frequency reuse factor. Initial synchronization algorithm is also used for preamble. Differential demodulation is employed in frequency domain prior to the cross correlation in order to mitigate the corruption. The channel is approximately compensated first by taking conjugate product between adjacent nonzero pilot subcarrier symbols, and then the vector of conjugate product is cross correlated with the differentially demodulated versions of the candidate frequency domain codes. A differential method was employed to approximately compensate frequency selective fading. Preamble structure can successfully support the initial synchronization and the cell search for single frequency cellular OFDM systems under multipath fading and AWGN environment. 3. Wideband Windowed OFDM Alireza seyedi [16] proposed the use of a wideband windowed OFDM system for the physical layer of spectrum agile radios. It is shown that by properly choosing the window the system can create very deep notches in its spectrum and hence, avoid creating interference for the narrowband primary systems in its band. Cognitive and spectrum agile radios are considered. These systems will have the ability of sensing their environment for active primary users and adapt their transmit signal such that any harmful interference to primary users are avoided Cognitive radios will have the ability to observe and learn the characteristics of their environments and adjust their behavior accordingly. These radios must have the ability of sensing the channel and recognizing whether the channel is in use by the primary or perhaps even by another spectrum agile radio. Windowed OFDM has slightly worse performance compared to the conventional OFDM and it has lower bandwidth efficiency, it allows arbitrarily create very deep notched in the transmitted signal and hence avoid interference to the narrowband primary users. 4. EM Based Iterative Receivers Meng-Lin Ku, Wen-Chuan Chen and Chia-Chi Huang [17] analyzed the ICI in frequency domain with a reduced set of parameters, and an EM algorithm for maximum likelihood (ML) data detection. An ML-EM receiver for OFDM systems and TURBO-EM receivers for BICM/OFDM systems are then developed to reduce computational complexity of the EM algorithm and to exploit temporal diversity. The main idea is to integrate the proposed EM algorithm with a group wise ICI cancellation method, to exchange information with a maximum posterior (MAP) EM detector through the turbo principle. EM based iterative receivers for OFDM and BICM/OFDM systems in doubly selective fading channels are investigated. By assuming channel varies in a linear fashion, first analyze the ICI effect in frequency domain and derived a data detection method based on the EM algorithm using the ML criterion. In an effort wireless channel is assumed to be quasi state that is channel gain remains constant over the duration of one OFDM symbol. Even though the EM based channel estimation scheme implemented in time-varying fading channel, only EM algorithm is used to estimate average channel gain The expectation maximization algorithm can facilitate solving the ML estimation problem in an iterative manner which alternates between an E-step, calculating an expected complete log-likelihood (ECLL) function, and an M-step maximizing the ECLL function with respect to some unknown parameters. Recently a few EM based methods have been proposed for channel estimation and data detection in OFDM systems.

Fig.1 ML-EM receiver for OFDM systems Figure shows the ML-EM receiver for OFDM systems. The modulated signal is given to the ICI cancelation, it cancels the intercarrier interference. The EM detects the uncertainty signal. Based on the EM algorithm for data detection, receivers use groupwise processing with ICI cancellation to reduce computation complexity and to explore time diversity inherent in time-variant channels. This receiver effectively solves the error propagation problem, and it attains a performance close to the lower bound in terms of BER 5. EM Based VSN OFDM VSN OFDM system is developed using variable subband nulling [18] and send the information on the nulled subbands via preambles [16]. To avoid the interference VSN mode can be changed based on the sensing period inserted over data transmission duration Let us consider the VSN OFDM systems ( ) are the data symbols to be transmitted over the subcarrier for an OFDM symbol. After modulated by an - point inverse discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT) and appended with cyclic prefix of length G, time domain samples of an OFDM symbol are given by
