Cognitive radio (CR) is the enabling technology for supporting dynamic spectrum access: the policy that addresses the spectrum scarcity problem that is encountered in many countries. The spectrum sensing problem has gained new aspects with cognitive radio networks. Radio spectrum is the most valuable resource in wireless communication. The cognitive radio and cognitive based networking are transforming the static spectrum allocation based communication systems in to dynamic spectrum allocation. Cognitive radios are intelligent devices with ability to sense environmental conditions and can change its parameters according to the requirements to get the optimized performance at the individual nodes or at network level Thus, CR is widely regarded as one of the most promising technologies for future wireless communications.
