In this paper a distributed approach to mode identification and spectrum monitoring is studied. A Wireless Network composed by Cognitive Terminals is used to classify air interfaces present in the radio scene. The use of cooperative strategies and an advanced signal processing tool, Time Frequency analysis, allows to improve the radio awareness of device. Results in the terms of error probability, modeling the probability density function of considered features as Asymmetric Generalized and Generalized Gaussian functions, are compared to error rate showing good performance and coherence of theoretical model with experimental results.
