Exploiting temporal and spatial diversities for spectrum sensing and access in cognitive vehicular networks

In cognitive vehicular networks (CVNs), spectrum sensing and access are introduced as the promising technologies to fully exploit the underutilized licensed spectrum. Because the sensing ability of a single secondary vehicular user (SVU) is affected by high mobility, dynamic topology, and unreliable wireless environment, collaborative sensing is developed to increase the sensing accuracy and efficiency. Generally, the synchronization is required in the collaborative sensing in CVN. However, it is difficult to keep all SVUs synchronized with others for sensing under the high dynamic network topology, and the sensing overhead of the synchronous cooperative action may be significant. In this paper, we first propose an asynchronous cooperative sensing scheme in which each SVU provides an energy information (EI) that is tagged with location and time information. The sensing decision will be made on account of the EI. Considering the temporal and spatial diversities of each SVU, we assign different weights to each EI and formulate the probabilities of detection and false alarm as the optimization problems to find the optimal weight of each EI. Then, based on the asynchronous sensing, the specifications of the opportunistic spectrum access mechanism are elaborated in both centralized and decentralized CVNs for the sake of practical implementation. We analyze the system performance in terms of achievable throughput and transmission delay. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme is able to achieve substantially higher throughput and lower delay, as compared with existing schemes. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

MaxDiv: an optimal randomized spectrum access with maximum diversity scheme for cognitive radio networks

Cognitive radio network (CRN) is an emerging technology that can increase the utilization of spectrum underutilized by primary users (PUs). In the literature, most exiting investigations on CRNs have focused on how secondary users (SUs) can coexist harmlessly with the PUs. Despite the importance of such a coexistence issue, it is also crucial to investigate the coexistence of SUs because (i) the PUs usually rarely use the licensed spectrum and (ii) the advantages of CRN will significantly increase the number of SUs in the future. To address this challenging issue, we propose, in this paper, an optimal randomized spectrum access scheme, whose main ideas include the following: (i) an SU shares its sensing results with neighboring SUs and (ii) with the regional sensing results, an SU will access available channels with a non‐uniform probability distribution. We first formulate a multichannel optimal randomized multiple access (MC‐ORMA) problem that aims to maximize the throughput of the CRN; we then develop efficient distributed algorithms to solve the MC‐ORMA problem; we derive the closed‐form value of collision probability for each SU; and finally, we conduct extensive numerical experiments and compare our theoretical analysis with simulation results to demonstrate the advantages of our scheme.

Efficient and rational spectrum utilization in opportunistic OFDMA networks with imperfect CSI: a utility‐based top‐down approach

In this paper, we consider the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)‐based Opportunistic Radio (OR) networks, in which the nodes are able to adopt a subset of subcarriers (SCs) available in the considered network area, as well as the transmission rate and power associated with these SCs either for their uplink or downlink transmission. The idea of our top‐down approach to the efficient and rational spectrum utilization is to allow each node to first optimize the resources acquisition at OSI‐layer 2 (top), where the competition of nodes for available common resources is observed, and then to autonomously optimize the transmission parameters accounting for the radio channel conditions at the physical (down) layer. We assume that the nodes act independently based on their local channel quality information, which contains an error. In these optimization tasks, the efficiency and rationality mechanisms have been introduced in the objective (utility) functions, which reflect the throughput achieved, the network potential to serve multiple nodes, as well as pricing of resources and the power economy.

Cross‐layer design of partial spectrum sharing for two licensed networks using cognitive radios

To utilize spectrum resources more efficiently, dynamic spectrum access attempts to allocate the spectrum to users in an intelligent manner. Uncoordinated sharing with cognitive radio (CR) users is a promising approach for dynamic spectrum access. In the uncoordinated sharing model, CR is an enabling technology that allows the unlicensed or secondary users to opportunistically access the licensed spectrum bands (belonging to the so‐called primary users), without any modifications or updates for the licensed systems. However, because of the limited resources for making spectrum observations, spectrum sensing for CR is bound to have errors and will degrade the grade‐of‐service performance of both primary and secondary users. In this paper, we first propose a new partial spectrum sharing policy, which achieves efficient spectrum sharing between two licensed networks. Then, a Markov chain model is devised to analyze the proposed policy considering the effects of sensing errors. We also construct a cross‐layer design framework, in which the parameters of spectrum sharing policy at the multiple‐access control layer and the spectrum sensing parameters at the physical layer are simultaneously coordinated to maximize the overall throughput of the networks, while satisfying the grade‐of‐service constraints of the users. Numerical results show that the proposed spectrum sharing policy and the cross‐layer design strategy achieve a much higher overall throughput for the two networks.

Modified 802.11‐Based Opportunistic Spectrum Access in Cognitive Radio Networks

In this letter, a modified 802.11‐based opportunistic spectrum access is proposed for single‐channel cognitive radio networks where primary users operate on a slot‐by‐slot basis. In our opportunistic spectrum access, control frames are used to reduce the slot‐boundary impact and achieve channel reservation to improve throughput of secondary users. An absorbing Markov chain model is used to analyze the throughput of secondary users. Simulation results show that the analysis accurately predicts the saturation throughput.     

Distributed joint spectrum detection and power allocation in multi-band cognitive radio networks

This article proposes a novel dynamic spectrum sharing scheme in distributed multi-band cognitive radio networks. A non-cooperative game has been utilized to model the spectrum sharing among secondary base stations (SBSs). A distributed joint spectrum detection and power allocation algorithm is designed for maximizing the downlink throughput of secondary networks. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm converges fast and achieves a better throughput performance than uniform threshold case. Meanwhile, the convergence of algorithm is proved by Nikaido-Isoda (N-I) function method.     

Detecting anomalous spectrum usage in dynamic spectrum access networks

Dynamic spectrum access has been proposed as a means to share scarce radio resources, and requires devices to follow protocols that access spectrum resources in a proper, disciplined manner. For a cognitive radio network to achieve this goal, spectrum policies and the ability to enforce them are necessary. Detection of an unauthorized (anomalous) usage is one of the critical issues in spectrum etiquette enforcement. In this paper, we present a network structure for dynamic spectrum access and formulate the anomalous usage detection problem using statistical significance testing. The detection problem investigated considers two cases, namely, the authorized (primary) transmitter is (i) mobile and (ii) fixed. We propose a detection scheme for each case by exploiting the spatial pattern of received signal energy across a network of sensors. Analytical models are formulated when the distribution of the energy measurements is given and, due to the intractability of the general problem, we present an algorithm using machine learning techniques to solve the general case when the statistics of the energy measurements are unknown. Our simulation results show that our approaches can effectively detect unauthorized spectrum usage with a detection probability above 0.9 while keeping the false alarm rate less than 0.1 when only one unauthorized radio is present, and the detection probability is even higher for more unauthorized radios.
