The idea Traditional Existence-based High-power vs low-power
Detector statistic: False alarms:
Received power-level Noise higher than expected
Event-based Increased vs decreased vs unchanged power 8 < H− [n] : negative edge at time n; H+ [n] : positive edge at time n; : HI [n] : otherwise. Change in received power-level “Noise” increases suddenly
Missed detections:
Noise lower than expected
“Noise” drops suddenly
Dom. uncertainty:
Number of active interferers
Activity pattern of interferers
Detector: Hypotheses:

H0 [n] : primary on at time n; H1 [n] : primary off at time n;
