Abstract: Cognitive radio networks enable the secondary users to make use of the frequency spectrum of primary users in the absence of the latter. To make this mechanism possible, secondary users have to sense the spectrum to find vacant channels to occupy them as well as to vacate the occupied channels when their primary users come back. ANFIS based spectrum prediction is proposed in this work to improve the spectrum utilization, reduce interference to primary users, enhance quality of service to secondary users and save sensing energy and time. Comparison of predicted data with actual data shows that the predicted occupancy of spectrum is close to the actual occupancy.
