Spectrum sensing mechanisms enable cognitive radio networks to detect primary users (Upsi) and utilize spectrum holes for secondary user (SU) transmission. However, precise PU detection leads to longer sensing time and lower achievable throughput. In this paper, we propose a particle swarm optimizat...
