On the Energy Detection of Unknown Signals Over Fading ChannelsAbstract—This letter addresses the problem of energy detection of an unknown signal over a multipath channel. It starts with the no-diversity case, and presents some alternative closed-fo

Abstract—Selection combining cascaded with maximum-ratio combining (SC/MRC), which is particularly useful when site diversity is available, combined with low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes is able to combat the effects of fading. The biterro
