Spectrum sensing based on absolute value cumulating (AVC sensing) has attracted much attention due to its effectiveness in the presence of Laplaican noise and simpleness of implementation. In this paper, we investigate its detection performance and optimal detection threshold. Specifically, based on the derived mean and variance of the test statistic, an accurate expression of the detection probability is given. Using the accurate expression, an optimization problem is formulated to minimize the total error rate of AVC sensing by optimizing the detection threshold with a constraint on false alarm probability, and the optimal detection threshold is derived. Numerical results are provided to support our work.
