Hard and softened combination for cooperative spectrum sensing over imperfect channels in cognitive radio networks

Recently, cognitive radio (CR) access has received much attention to overcome spectrum scarcity problem. Spectrum sensing methods are often used for finding free channels to be used by CR. In this paper, the problem of cooperative spectrum sensing will be investigated in CR networks over realistic channels. This problem is not clarified until now by taking into account the error effect on the decision reporting. The analytical expressions of the hard and softened one bit and two bits hard combination scheme for cooperative spectrum sensing will be derived. These expressions are investigated to compare with simulation results. The analysis and simulation results show that the performance of cooperative spectrum sensing is limited by the probability of reporting errors. Moreover, it is shown that there is a significant performance loss when a final decision regarding to primary user’s (PU) state made at the fusion depends on a set of local spectrum sensing information that are distorted by imperfect reporting channels during transmission. The probability of detection is degraded due to imperfect reporting channel by 16.5% and 12.2% with one bit hard combination and softened two bits hard combination, respectively. To reduce this performance loss, Amplify and Forward (AAF) relying mechanism will be proposed. The probability of detection is improved by 8% and 9.3% with one bit hard combination and softened two bits hard combination, respectively using AAF relaying mechanism.     

Multi slot-throughput tradeoff in an improved energy detector based faded cognitive radio network

In this paper, the impact of a multi slot based cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) on the performance of a cognitive radio (CR) network has been investigated. Each CR user, equipped with an improved energy detector (IED), uses a number of mini slots of the sensing time to perform the spectrum sensing. Each CR uses OR logic to combine the sub local decisions generated in each mini slot to obtain a local decision at CR level. Local decisions are sent to fusion centre (FC) over reporting channel. The FC obtains a final decision about the presence of primary user (PU) by combining the local decisions using a fusion rule: Majority or Maximal Ratio Combining. The performance of the CSS is assessed in terms of detection probability and false alarm probability considering both the sensing and reporting channels are Rayleigh faded. Furthermore, the impact of a number of sensing slots and IED parameter on throughput of CR network is also evaluated under the proposed spectrum sensing scenario. Impacts of several sensing parameters such as sensing channel SNR and reporting channel SNR on the performance of CR network are also evaluated. Performances of two fusion rules under study are compared. Effect of sensing error and synchronisation error is indicated. Further the study is extended for independent but non identically distributed (i.n.i.d.) Rayleigh faded channels as well as for a multiple PU scenario also.     

Optimal Cooperative Spectrum Sensing Under Faded and Bandwidth Limited Control Channels

Most of the cooperative spectrum sensing related research assumes system models with perfect control channel (i.e. with unlimited channel bandwidth and no channel errors). However, the assumption is not realistic and can lead to incorrect conclusions regarding the performance analysis of the cooperative spectrum sensing detection capabilities. This paper proposes a novel cooperative spectrum sensing framework that mitigates the imperfect control channel features, like the limited control channel bandwidth and error proneness, and achieves the detection performances of cooperative spectrum sensing under ideal control channel. It utilizes node clustering and multi-antenna spatial multiplexing (i.e. beamforming) and provides a generic framework that can be exploited by any cooperative spectrum sensing and fusion technique. The performance analysis shows that the proposed framework alleviates the control channel bandwidth limitation and significantly decreases the control channel error rate. The performance evaluation results also show that the proposed framework achieves the upper bound detection performances, i.e. achieves the same detection performances as the conventional cooperative spectrum sensing with ideal control channel.     

Sensing-Throughput Tradeoff in Cluster-Based Cooperative Cognitive Radio Networks with A TDMA Reporting Frame Structure

This paper proposes clustering schemes to solve the sensing throughput tradeoff problem in cooperative cognitive radio networks (CCRNs). The throughput of CCRNs extremely depends on the spectrum sensing performance and data transmission time. In CCRNs, the more secondary users (SUs) for cooperation, the better performance of spectrum sensing. However, the overhead consumption increases as the quantity of cooperative SUs becomes huge, which will lead to less time for data transmission. In this paper, we propose a frame structure that takes the sensing results reporting time into consideration. In order to reduce the reporting time consumption, a centralized cluster-based cooperative cognitive radio system model is created based on the frame structure. The sensing-throughput tradeoff problem under both the perfect reporting channel and imperfect reporting channel scenarios are formulated. The proposed clustering schemes reduce the reporting time consumption and ensure the maximum transmission time of each SU. Numerical results show that the proposed clustering schemes achieve satisfying performance.     

An Innovative Cooperative Spectrum Sensing Algorithm with Non-ideal Feedback Channels and Delay Considerations

Cognitive radio (CR) is used to overcome the spectrum scarcity problem, which results from fixed allocation of wireless bands. CR allows the unlicensed secondary users to exploit the idle spectrum, which is not occupied by any licensed primary user (PU), thus increasing the overall spectrum utilization. In this paper, we first propose a simple cooperative sensing algorithm, which combines the local decision at each CR along with a group decision received from a fusion center to produce a collective decision on the existence of the PU. The performance of the algorithm is investigated over ideal and non-ideal reporting channels, from the fusion center to the CR devices, both analytically and via simulations. Furthermore, the effect of cooperation delay, which causes the decisions received by the CR device from the fusion center to be outdated, is extensively studied, both analytically and via simulations. To overcome the significant performance degradation due to the effect of delay, an extra local sensing cycle is performed at the CR side upon reception of the group decision. Results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional hard decisions technique and exhibits a comparable performance to the soft decisions approach at a considerably lower complexity. Moreover, the algorithm is shown to enjoy more robustness against reporting channel errors than the conventional hard decisions-based algorithm. Finally, the extra sensing cycle is shown to dramatically improve the performance for different delay scenarios.     

Efficient error detection in soft data fusion for cooperative spectrum sensing

The primary objective of cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) is to determine whether a particular spectrum is occupied by a licensed user or not, so that unlicensed users called secondary users (SUs) can utilize that spectrum, if it is not occupied. For CSS, all SUs report their sensing information through reporting channel to the central base station called fusion center (FC). During transmission, some of the SUs are subjected to fading and shadowing, due to which the overall performance of CSS is degraded. We have proposed an algorithm which uses error detection technique on sensing measurement of all SUs. Each SU is required to re-transmit the sensing data to the FC, if error is detected on it. Our proposed algorithm combines the sensing measurement of limited number of SUs. Using Proposed algorithm, we have achieved the improved probability of detection (PD) and throughput. The simulation results compare the proposed algorithm with conventional scheme.

Cooperative spectrum sensing under unreliable reporting channels

This article analyzes a cooperative spectrum sensing scheme using a distributed approach with a fusion center considering an unreliable reporting channel. The spectrum sensing is applied to a cognitive radio system, where each cognitive radio sends its decision to a fusion center through a reporting channel, in which an n-out-of-K rule is applied. We compare the performance of the decision rules, analyzing the impact of the errors introduced by the reporting channel, considering the Bayes risk criterion.
