The invention discloses a selecting type cooperation spectrum sensing method based on double-threshold energy detection. The selecting type cooperation spectrum sensing method comprises the following steps: (1) in a master user signal detection stage, adopting a double-threshold energy detection method by various cognitive users in a cognitive radio system to carry out local spectrum sensing, if an energy value exceeds two thresholds, carrying out local judgment 'H0 or H1'by the cognitive users, and if the energy value is between the two thresholds, reserving the energy value as a primary energy detection value by the cognitive users; (2) in an initial detection result reporting stage, evenly distributing a master user frequency band by the cognitive users, adopting a selecting type strategy by the cognitive users to report initial detection results respectively to a fusion center, preventing cognitive detection results with unreliable parameters from being introduced, meanwhile, saving traditional exclusive control channel resources, adopting the equal gain criterion by the fusion center to carry out master user judgment on the received primary energy detection value, allowing the judgment result to be equivalent to a node strategy by the fusion center, and then adopting the 'or' criterion by the fusion center to make the final judgment whether a master user exists. The simulation results show that according to the selecting type cooperation spectrum sensing method based on the double-threshold energy detection, and on the premise that ROC properties are not lost, the exclusive control channel resources are effectively saved, and meanwhile higher detection efficiency can be obtained.
