Abstract

Standard condition number (SCN) detector is a promising detector that can work effectively in uncertain environments. In this paper, we consider a Cognitive Radio (CR) with large number of antennas (eg. Massive MIMO) and we provide an accurate and simple closed form approximation for the SCN distribution using the generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution. The approximation framework is based on the moment-matching method and the expressions of the moments are approximated using bi-variate Taylor expansion and results from random matrix theory. In addition, the performance probabilities and decision threshold are also considered as they have a direct relation to the distribution. Simulation results show that the derived approximation is tightly matched to the condition number distribution.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The non-centrality matrix is defined as \(\mathbf {\Omega }_K= \mathbf {\Sigma }_K^{-1}\varvec{M}\varvec{M}^\dagger \) where \(\mathbf {\Sigma }_K\) and \(\varvec{M}\) are respectively the covariance matrix and the mean of \(\varvec{Y}\) defined as \(\mathbf {\Sigma }_K = E[(\varvec{Y}-\varvec{M})(\varvec{Y}-\varvec{M})^\dagger ]\) and \(\varvec{M} = E[\varvec{Y}]\).
