A Robust Cooperative Spectrum Sensing Scheme in Cognitive Radio Systems

Performance of cluster-based cooperative spectrum sensing is more greatly improved than that of the traditional cooperative spectrum sensing.However,the style of clusters is not pointed out on traditional cluster-based method.In view of all the fading in the cooperative spectrum sensing,space diversity,and selective diversity,a robust cooperative spectrum sensing scheme based on clusters is proposed.Simulation results show that the detection performance of this new scheme is more close to that of the ideal cluster-based cooperative spectrum sensing scheme,and the excellent performance with higher reliability is gained relative to the actual cluster-based cooperative spectrum sensing scheme.Finally,the number of users in a cluster of the proposed scheme is discussed.The two users in a cluster are not the optimal solution to the overall implementation of cognitive radio.
