Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of detecting the presence of a transmission signal of a transmitter in a reception signal in a wireless communication system based on CR technology. The method includes generating a frequency signal vector using a Fourier transform and a reception signal vector obtained by sampling the reception signal at a certain period, finding an eigenvalue and an eigenvector regarding a matrix, obtaining by approximating a covariance matrix of the frequency signal vector using a vectorized Fourier transform result of all channel impulse responses of the transmission signal linearly modulated, calculating a sufficient statistic on a basis of the frequency signal vector, the eigenvalue, and the eigenvector, finding a threshold which is a criterion for determining signal presence detection on a basis of a preset detection probability or a preset false alarm probability and the eigenvalue, and if the sufficient statistic is determined to be greater than the threshold, determining that the transmission signal exists.
