ABSTRACT
This small note makes an analysis of the current situation of the Cognitive Radio (CR)
performance under an indoor environment. As well as, measurements of the electromagnetic
environment in the 800-900 MHz UHF Band are carried out in a specific indoor environment, in order
to discover a spectrum hole to be used by an cognitive radio unlicensed user.
