Scheme of Cooperative Spectrum Sensing Based on Adaptive Decision Fusion Algorithm

Spectrum sensing is one of the core technologies for cognitive radios(CR),where reliable detection of the signals of primary users(PUs) is precondition for implementing the CR systems.A cooperative spectrum sensing scheme based on an adaptive decision fusion algorithm for spectrum sensing in CR is proposed in this paper.This scheme can estimate the PU prior probability and the miss detection and false alarm probabilities of various secondary users(SU),and make the local decision with the Chair-Varshney rule so that the decisions fusion can be done for the global decision.Simulation results show that the false alarm and miss detection probabilities resulted from the proposed algorithm are significantly lower than those of the single SU,and the performance of the scheme outperforms that of the cooperative detection by using the conventional decision fusion algorithms.     

Cooperative Spectrum Sensing Scheme with Hard Decision Based on Location Information in Cognitive Radio Networks

Without an efficient way to achieve the reliability of the decision, the implementation of weighted data fusion is limited in the hard decision combination for cooperative spectrum sensing. To address this problem, a new cooperative spectrum sensing scheme based on the location information of the primary user (PU) and cognitive radio (CR) is proposed. In the new scheme, depending on the location information, the channel condition between the PU and each CR is obtained at the fusion center (FC), with which the local sensing reliability is first achieved. Then we calculate the transmission reliability between the CR and FC. Based on both the local sensing reliability and the transmission reliability, the combining weighting factor is determined for optimal data fusion. On the basis of this proposed scheme, we study the global sensing false alarm and detection probabilities, derive the expressions to obtain the optimal local sensing threshold, and perform an error analysis that demonstrates the impact of imperfect channel knowledge. Using both analytical and simulation methods, we find that the proposed scheme achieves better performance compared with the conventional logical fusion rules in the hard decision combination for cooperative spectrum sensing.     

Iterative optimization of detection threshold and throughput for secondary users in multiband cognitive radio systems

In cognitive radio(CR) systems,efficient spectrum sensing ensures the secondary user(SU) to successfully access the spectrum hole.Typically,the detection problem has been considered separately from the optimization of transmission strategy.However,in practice,due to non-zero probabilities of miss detection and false alarm,the sensing phase has an impact on the throughput of SUs as well as on the transmission of primary user(PU).In this paper,using energy detection,we maximize the total throughput of SUs by ...     

Performance Evaluation of Cooperative Spectrum Sensing Scheme with Censoring of Cognitive Radios in Rayleigh Fading Channel

In this paper, the performance of cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) with censoring of cognitive radio (CR) users in Rayleigh fading channel is analyzed. More precisely, CR users which employ energy detectors are censored depending on the quality of radio channels between them and a fusion center (FC). Each CR makes a hard decision about primary user (PU) using energy detection and transmits the information to FC using BPSK signaling if that CR user is selected to transmit. A training based channel estimator is used at the FC to estimate the complex Gaussian fading coefficients characterizing the channels between the CR users and the FC. This channel state information on fading coefficients is used for censoring the CR users. Two fusion rules such as majority logic fusion and maximal ratio combining (MRC) fusion rules are applied at the FC for estimating the performance in terms of probability of missed detection (P_m). We develop a simulation test bed for evaluating the performance of CSS scheme. Probability of missed detection has been evaluated for both perfect and imperfect channel estimation for various probabilities of false alarm (P_f), reporting and sensing channel SNR values.     

Robust spectrum sensing under noise uncertainty for spectrum sharing

Spectrum sensing plays an important role in spectrum sharing. Energy detection is generally used because it does not require a priori knowledge of primary user, (PU) signals; however, it is sensitive to noise uncertainty. An order statistics (OS) detector provides inherent protection against nonhomogeneous background signals. However, no analysis has been conducted yet to apply OS detection to spectrum sensing in a wireless channel to solve noise uncertainty. In this paper, we propose a robust spectrum sensing scheme based on generalized order statistics (GOS) and analyze the exact false alarm and detection probabilities under noise uncertainty. From the equation of the exact false alarm probability, the threshold value is calculated to maintain a constant false alarm rate. The detection probability is obtained from the calculated threshold under noise uncertainty. As a fusion rule for cooperative spectrum sensing, we adopt an OR rule, that is, a 1‐out‐of‐N rule, and we call the proposed scheme GOS‐OR. The analytical results show that the GOS‐OR scheme can achieve optimum performance and maintain the desired false alarm rates if the coefficients of the GOS‐OR detector can be correctly selected.     

Sensing‐throughput tradeoff for cooperative multiple‐input single‐output cognitive radio

In this paper, we propose a new cooperative multiple‐input single‐output (MISO) cognitive radio (CR) system, which can use some of the antennas to transmit its data and the others to help to transmit the data of the primary user (PU) by performing cooperative communication if the presence of the PU is detected through the cooperative spectrum sensing. A new cooperative sensing‐throughput tradeoff model is proposed, which maximizes the aggregate rate of the CR by jointly optimizing sensing time and spatial sub‐channel power, subject to the constraints of the aggregate rate of the PU, the false alarm and detection probabilities, the aggregate interference to the PU and the aggregate power of the CR. Simulation results show that compared with the conventional scheme, the proposed cooperative scheme can achieve the larger aggregate rate of the CR, while keeping the aggregate rate of the PU invariable with the increasing of the interference.

Sensor node-assisted asynchronous cooperative spectrum sensing for cognitive radio network

In order to take advantage of the asynchronous sensing information, alleviate the sensing overhead of secondary users （SUs） and improve the detection performance, a sensor node-assisted asynchronous cooperative spectrum sensing （SN-ACSS） scheme for cognitive radio （CR） network （CRN） was proposed. In SN-ACSS, each SU is surrounded by sensor nodes （SNs）, which asynchronously make hard decisions and soft decisions based on the Bayesian fusion rule instead of the SU. The SU combines these soft decisions and makes the local soft decision. Finally, the fusion center （FC） fuses the local soft decisions transmitted from SUs with different weight coefficients to attain the final soft decision. Besides, the impact of the statistics of licensed band occupancy on detection performance and the fact that different SNs have different sensing contributions are also considered in SN-ACSS scheme. Numerical results show that compared with the conventional synchronous cooperative spectrum sensing （SCSS） and the existing ACSS schemes, SN-ACSS algorithm achieves a better detection performance and lower cost with the same number of SNs.     

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.
