A closed-form expression for the probability of detection is derived, followed by the numerical results. The analysis was extended to the case of cooperative sensor network in which the environment can be modelled by independent Rician fading channels. %K cognitive radio %K energy detection %K spectrum sensing %K Rician fading %U http://www.doiserbia.nb.rs/img/doi/1451-4869/2013/1451-48691301037B.pdf
