In this era of wireless communication, service providers and telecom operators are faced with a dilemma where they need a large sum of the wireless spectrum to meet the ever. increasing quality of service requirements of consumers. Scarcity of the wireless spectrum has led to the development Cognitive Radios (CR). CR ensures the efficient usage of under-utilized spectrum. Spectrum sensing performs the key functionality in identifying the free gaps in the spectrum. The aim of this research is to validate the under-utilization of unlicensed ISM band in the vicinity of Nawabshah. Spectrum  aDepartment of Electronic Engineering uhttps://tinyurl.com/47yf4zmx
