	  abstract     = {Spectrum underutilization has made cognitive
radio a promising technology both for current and future
telecommunications. This is due to the ability to exploit the unused
spectrum in the bands dedicated to other wireless communication
systems, and thus, increase their occupancy. The essential function,
which allows the cognitive radio device to perceive the occupancy
of the spectrum, is spectrum sensing. In this paper, the performance
of modern adaptations of the four most widely used spectrum
sensing techniques namely, energy detection (ED), cyclostationary
feature detection (CSFD), matched filter (MF) and eigenvalues-based
detection (EBD) is compared. The implementation has been
accomplished through the PlutoSDR hardware platform and the
GNU Radio software package in very low Signal-to-Noise Ratio
(SNR) conditions. The optimal detection performance of the
examined methods in a realistic implementation-oriented model is
found for the common relevant parameters (number of observed
samples, sensing time and required probability of false alarm).},
