G. Prieto et al. [10]2019Numerical analysis of histogram-based estimation techniques for entropy-based spectrum sensingEntropy-based detection is proposed for spectrum sensing. Several rules for determining the number of bins in histogram are evaluated. Those rules are as follows: square root rule, Scott rule, and Sturges ruleThis study focuses only on the Shannon entropy. It does not include other types of entropy such as Renyi, Kapur, and Tsallis entropy

A. Fawzi et al. [3]2020Adaptive two-stage spectrum sensing model using energy detection and wavelet denoising for CR systemsTwo-stage spectrum sensing techniques are proposed by combining two well methods: ED and WDEven though it improves the performance of SS, the proposed technique is not robust to noise uncertainty at low SNR. Moreover, since WD is integrated with ED at low SNR, sensing time and computational complexity are very high

A. D. Sahithi et al. [9]2020Analysis of energy detection spectrum sensing technique in cognitive radioCooperative spectrum sensing using ED is used to overcome the problem of uncertainty occurred due to fading and hidden primary terminalThis study does not focus on overcoming the problem of noise uncertainty

F. Mashta et al. [17]2021An integrated parallel multistage spectrum sensing for cognitive radioTwo-stage and three-stage detector for SS are discussed in detailEven though three-stage and two-stage spectrum sensing are performed, the overall performance of SS is not good at low SNR due to its sensitivity to noise uncertainty. Moreover, since the eigenvalue-based detector is used, the complexity of overall system increases
ED and maximum eigenvalue detector with different smoothing factors are used
