Improvement of Spectrum Utilisation in Cognitive Radio Networks by Detection of Selfish Attacks
نویسندگان
چکیده
The traditional spectrum management techniques allow most of the spectrum to be used by licensed users exclusively. Spectrum sharing mechanism in Cognitive Radio Networks allows spectrum access to secondary user in addition to the primary licensed user. The Secondary Users, in order to compete for the spectrum, turn malicious and try to occupy all or a part of the available channel leading to Selfish Attacks. It results in a degradation of spectrum utilisation efficiency considerably. This paper presents a detection mechanism to counter the effect of selfish attack thereby aiming to improve the efficiency of spectrum utilization.

Cooperative Spectrum Sensing (CSS) is an effective approach to overcome the impact of multi-path fading and shadowing issues. The reliability of CSS can be severely degraded under Byzantine attack, which may be caused by either malfunctioning sensing terminals or malicious nodes. Almost, the previous studies have not analyzed and considered the attack in their models. The present study introduc...

Cognitive radio (CR) is an opportunistic communication technology which is designed to utilize the maximum available licensed bandwidth for unlicensed users. In CR, when the spectrum is not used by primary user, it is accessed by the unlicensed users/secondary users. . In CRN a selfish SU (secondary user) broadcasts faked channel allocation information to other neighboring SUs in order to occup...
