摘要

Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) fluctuations significantly affect spectrum sensing performance in wireless communications. Traditional convolutional neural network (CNN) exhibits limited feature extraction capabilities and inefficient feature utilization at low SNR levels, leading to suboptimal spectrum sensing performance. This paper proposes a spectrum sensing method based on a multi-scale feature fusion network (MSFFNet) to address this issue. First, the proposed method employs a multi-scale feature extraction block (MSFEB) to capture multi-scale information from the input data comprehensively. Next, an adaptive feature screening strategy (AFSS) highlights key features while suppressing redundant information. Finally, a multi-level feature fusion mechanism (MLFFM) optimizes and integrates features across scales and levels, enhancing spectrum sensing performance. Simulation results demonstrate that compared to other methods, the proposed approach achieves superior performance in low-SNR communication scenarios. At an SNR of −14 dB, the detection probability Pd reaches 0.936, while the false alarm probability Pfa is only 0.1. Furthermore, this paper constructs a multi-level mixed-SNR dataset to simulate real communication environments and enhance the robustness of spectrum sensing.
