Abstract: Spectrum Sensing (SS) is a key constituent of software defined radio (SDR) or Cognitive radio (CR). Spectrum sensing (SS) investigate the white hole in allotted spectrum to the primary user. Cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) has work in a best manner than any other spectrum sensing (SS) technique to detect white space or spectrum hole in the licensed spectrum. In this paper we compare various combining scheme that are to be perform at the Fusion centre (FC). Fusion centre (FC) is the central part of Cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) that combines individual node decision. Simulation has performed for hard and soft combining scheme. According to the simulation the soft combining scheme performed better then hard combining scheme but the complexity and bandwidth (BW) requirement in the soft combining is more than hard combining scheme. In the proposed paper we also explore detection error that is to be present in various combining scheme.
