Abstract

The rapid advancement of connected vehicle technologies has intensified the need for efficient spectrum utilization. Cognitive radio (CR) enables dynamic access to underutilized spectrum, with spectrum sensing playing a key role in detecting primary users (PU). This study introduces a novel spectrum sensing approach that integrates filter bank (FB) signal decomposition with convolutional neural networks (CNNs)—referred to as filter bank decomposition and convolutional neural network (FB-CNN)—to enhance detection performance compared to conventional methods. Unlike traditional techniques such as energy detection (ED), the proposed FB-CNN leverages the frequency components extracted by the FB as CNN inputs, enabling robust identification of PU signals across multiple modulation schemes, including BPSK, QAM, FSK, and GMSK. Simulation results demonstrate substantial gains, particularly in low-SNR scenarios: for example, at an SNR of 5 dB, FB-CNN achieves a detection probability of 89% for 2-FSK, compared to only 22% with ED—representing a fourfold improvement. These findings highlight the novelty and effectiveness of FB-CNN in significantly improving spectrum sensing reliability for connected vehicle networks operating in challenging signal environments.
