It is one solution to overcome fading, shadowing, and uncertainty noises. Unlike centralized networks, Secondary User (SU) in decentralized networks independently senses license channel without forwarding the sensing result to central coordinator. This paper investigates the performance of Decentralized Multiuser CSS (DMCSS) in Cognitive Radio (CS) system. Partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) is used as an aid for SU to sense and access a license channel. It models spectrum as Markov discrete process where idle and busy states are represented by '0' and '1'. The comparisons are made against Centralized Multiuser Cooperative Spectrum Sensing (CMCSS). The derived results show that CMCSS has better performance than DMCSS model. However, at certain values of SNR, DMCSS performance outperforms the achievable throughput by CMCSS through setting of collision threshold (ζ). © 2013 IEEE. date: 2013 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84888618219&doi=10.1109%2fEUROCON.2013.6624974&partnerID=40&md5=f4815ee6d341265ba6ac49e9552cec75 id_number: 10.1109/EUROCON.2013.6624974 full_text_status: none publication: IEEE EuroCon 2013 place_of_pub: Zagreb pagerange: 113-118 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781467322324 citation: Armi, N. and Yusoff, M.Z. and Saad, N.M.
