	%X Cooperative spectrum sensing is a crucial challenge in
cognitive radio networks. Cooperative sensing can increase the
reliability of spectrum hole detection, optimize sensing time and
reduce delay in cooperative networks. In this paper, an efficient
central capacity optimization algorithm is proposed to minimize
cooperative sensing time in a homogenous sensor network using OR
decision rule subject to the detection and false alarm probabilities
constraints. The evaluation results reveal significant improvement in
the sensing time and normalized capacity of the cognitive sensors.
