When the decision statistic falls outside the double-threshold section, the energy detection is performed and the confused region is within the double-threshold for wavelet detection. Besides, the two thresholds can be adjusted adaptively according to noise uncertainty. When the channel quality is better, the distance of the two thresholds will be minished, otherwise the distance of the two thresholds will be larger, so as to control the probability of wavelet detection. Simulation shows that the proposed algorithm can improve the detection performance effectively under low SNR conditions, and reduces the complexity. %U https://journal.bupt.edu.cn/EN/10.13190/j.jbupt.2017.04.019
