基于可靠次用户信息的协作频谱感知算法研究

对认知无线电系统最基本要求之一就是次用户必须有能力以高的精确率来确定主用户是否存在。而以前对认知无线电频谱感知的研究表明:在实际认知网络中次用户之间的相互协作可以提高其频谱检测性能。然而,对于协作频谱感知而言,随着协作次用户数目的增加,势必会增大用于传输本地检测结果到融合中心的专用控制信道带宽,从而增加系统开销。该文在控制信道带宽有限的约束条件下,提出一种通过考虑可靠次用户信息的协作频谱感知算法来进一步改善频谱检测的性能。该算法的基本思想:只有具有可靠的本地检测结果的次用户才发送自己的检测结果到融合中心,否则,该次用户不发送任何信息。同时,对提出的该算法在理论上进行了推导,通过仿真结果表明:在控制信道带宽受限的约束下,相比于传统的或门协作频谱感知算法,提出的算法能够大大改善对主用户的检测性能。

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.     

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 with Adaptive Node Selection for Cognitive Radio Networks

In cooperative spectrum sensing, secondary users can cooperate based on their local sensing observations so as to detect primary signals in a more reliable manner. However, because of the low strength of received primary signals, observations from some secondary users may contribute little to global decisions at the fusion center. To reduce energy consumption and sensing overhead, cooperation is recommended only with a subset of nodes receiving high-strength primary signals. This paper proposes a selection probability based cooperative spectrum sensing scheme that exploits historical observations to exclude nodes receiving low-strength primary signals. The selection probability is maintained based on local sensing information and global decisions. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can exploit location advantages and shows almost the same detection performance as cooperative spectrum sensing with accurate node selection.     

A reliable cooperative spectrum detection scheme in cognitive radio networks

Reliable spectrum detection of the primary user (PU) performs an important role in the cognitive radio network since it’s the foundation of other operations. Spectrum sensing and cognitive signal recognition are two key tasks in the development of cognitive radio (CR) technology in both commercial and military applications. However, when the CR terminals receiving signals have little knowledge about the channel or signal types, these two tasks will become much more difficult. In this paper, we propose a reliable cooperative spectrum detection scheme, which combines the cooperative spectrum sensing with distributed cognitive signal recognition. A novel improved cooperative sensing algorithm is achieved by using a credibility weight factor and the “tug-of-war” rule, which is based on the double threshold detection and Dempster–Shafer theory, to determine whether the PU signals exist. In this scheme, cognitive signal recognition can be used to identify the signal type when the PU signal is present. During the cognitive signal recognition processing, the CR terminals make local classification of the received signals by using Daubechies5 wavelet transform and Fractional Fourier Transform, and send their recognition results to the globe decision making center. A distributed processing uses these cognitive terminals’ local results to make final decisions under the Maximum Likelihood estimation algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed method can achieve good sensing probability and recognition accuracy under the Additive White Gaussian Noise channel.

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.     

Double‐threshold cooperative detection for cognitive radio based on weighing

In cognitive radio (CR), the single‐threshold cooperative detection is sensitive to the noise power. In this paper, a double‐threshold cooperative detection scheme based on weighed combination is proposed to improve the global detected performance of the cooperative detection. The double thresholds that are decided by the restriction probability are adopted to divide the energy statistics observed by CRs into three subareas, and the detected performance of the CRs locating in the confusion area is fortified through the weighed data fusion by the coordinator. The CRs in the other two areas can make local binary decisions because of their exact sensing performance and then forward their 1‐bit decisions to the coordinator that will combine all the received decisions to give the final decision on the presence of the primary user. In this paper, both the periodic single‐band and wideband cooperative detections are investigated, and the probabilities of spectrum utilization by these two patterns are respectively analyzed. The simulation shows that the detection probability of the proposed scheme is better than that of the single‐threshold cooperative detection with decision fusion but slightly worse than that of the single‐threshold cooperative detection with data fusion. However, the average number of the bits sent to the coordinator by the proposed algorithm is less than that by the data fusion, and it may increase by the decreasing of the restriction probability. The simulation also shows that the periodic wideband sensing can obtain higher spectrum utilization than the periodic single‐band sensing. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Cooperative Spectrum Sensing with Adaptive Double-Threshold Based Energy Detector in Cognitive Radio Networks

Spectrum sensing is one of the key functionalities in the implementation of cognitive radio. It is used to sense the unused spectrum in an opportunistic manner. In this paper, we propose an energy detector with adaptive double-threshold for spectrum sensing, to optimize the detection performance at a fixed probability of false alarm $(\text{ P }_\mathrm{f})$ i.e. 0.1, which also overcomes sensing failure problem. In the present work, the detection threshold is made adaptive to the fluctuation of the received signal power in each local detector of cognitive radio (CR) user. Simulation results show that proposed scheme optimizes better detection performance and outperforms both conventional energy detector and cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) method by 12.8 and 3.3 % at $-$ 8 dB signal to noise ratio (SNR), respectively. While utilizing CSS with proposed adaptive double-threshold scheme, where each CR user use a double threshold detectors for local detection and send detection decisions to fusion center (FC) to give the final decision based on hard decision rule. It is further found that CSS with adaptive double-threshold improves detection performance around 26.8 and 7.6 % as compare to CSS with single threshold and Hierarchical with quantization method at $-$ 10 dB SNR, respectively, under the case when a small number of sensing nodes are used in spectrum sensing.

Wireless distributed computing for cyclostationary feature detection

Recently, wireless distributed computing (WDC) concept has emerged promising manifolds improvements to current wireless technologies. Despite the various expected benefits of this concept, significant drawbacks were addressed in the open literature. One of WDC key challenges is the impact of wireless channel quality on the load of distributed computations. Therefore, this research investigates the wireless channel impact on WDC performance when the latter is applied to spectrum sensing in cognitive radio (CR) technology. However, a trade-off is found between accuracy and computational complexity in spectrum sensing approaches. Increasing these approaches accuracy is accompanied by an increase in computational complexity. This results in greater power consumption and processing time. A novel WDC scheme for cyclostationary feature detection spectrum sensing approach is proposed in this paper and thoroughly investigated. The benefits of the proposed scheme are firstly presented. Then, the impact of the wireless channel of the proposed scheme is addressed considering two scenarios. In the first scenario, workload matrices are distributed over the wireless channel. Then, a fusion center combines these matrices in order to make a decision. Meanwhile, in the second scenario, local decisions are made by CRs, then, only a binary flag is sent to the fusion center.
