RNN-Bi-LSTM

4.1×1012

10.5×106

ED is the least computationally expensive with only \(9.8\times {10}^{6}\) total operations

MF and CSD require significantly more operations than ED but remain much lower than neural network-based approaches

LSTM is the most expensive, requiring \(8.2\times {10}^{12}\) operations due to its gating mechanisms

RNN-Bi-LSTM, while computationally expensive, provides superior spectrum sensing performance but needs \(4.1\times {10}^{12}\) operations, about twice that of a standard RNN

This analysis highlights the trade-off between computational complexity and spectrum sensing accuracy for NOMA waveforms
