Summary: 
A novel and energy-efficient algorithm with Quality-of-Service (QoS) guarantee is proposed for cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) with soft information fusion and hard information fusion. By weighting the sensing performance and the consumption of system resources in a utility function that is maximized with respect to the number of secondary users (SUs), it is shown that the optimal number of SUs is related to the price of these QoS requirements.
