In SEAMCAT, the CRSs are assumed to be the interferers. A SEAMCAT workspace will contain only 1 victim system and 1 or many interferers. It is possible to assess the aggregated impact of interferers that can be either CR devices or not. The scenario allows the impact of spectrum sensing to be investigated where a cognitive radio device is activated nearby a victim system. Both the victim and the interfering dialogue interface should be filled to enable spectrum sensing in SEAMCAT. Figure 161 157 illustrates that the introduction of spectrum sensing requires an extra budget link called sensing Received Signal Strength (sRSS) which represents the signal which is transmitted by the VLT and is sensed by the It. Note that the It acts as a transceiver, meaning that when the energy is sensed though the bandwidth of the sensing device (i.e. the It), it is acting as a receiving device.

It is assumed that the frequency of the interfering cognitive radio device is dependent on the frequency range defined for the victim. This means that when the CR module is activated, the interfering frequency function dialogue box is de-activated (#4 of Figure 231). Depending on how the victim frequency is defined (i.e. constant, discrete or distributed between fmin and fmax). SEAMCAT only allows the use of the following distributions: Constant, User defined, Uniform, User defined (stair).
