A Sequential Energy Detection Based Spectrum Sensing Scheme in Cognitive Radio
نویسندگان
چکیده
Reliable and swift spectrum sensing is a crucial technical challenge of cognitive radio. This study proposes a Sequential Energy Detection (SED) scheme to reduce the average required sample number and sensing time for spectrum sensing in low signal-to-noise ratio regime. In the scheme, the data samples are first grouped into data blocks and the Sequential Probability Ratio Test (SPRT) use the energies of the data blocks as the statistic variables. The resulting detection rule exhibits simplicity in implementation and in analysis and retains the high sample-efficiency of sequential probability ratio test. The detection performance in terms of Average Sample Number (ASN) is evaluated theoretically. Simulation results are provided to verify the theoretical analysis.

Collaborative Spectrum Sensing (CSS) is an effective approach to improve the detection performance in Cognitive Radio (CR) networks. Inherent characteristics of the CR have imposed some additional security threats to the networks. One of the common threats is Primary User Emulation Attack (PUEA). In PUEA, some malicious users try to imitate primary signal characteristics and defraud the CR user...

Spectrum sensing plays a major role in the cognitive radio networks. An effective spectrum sensing has two fold utility: one hand it prevents primary users or licensed users for significant harmful interference from secondary users or unlicensed users and on the other hand it increases the spectral efficiency. In this paper, a survey of the various spectrum sensing schemes such as transmitter s...

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...

This paper proposes a censored and ordered sequential collaborative spectrum sensing scheme for cognitive radio ad hoc network (CRAHN). The scheme uses the ordered of the sensing data reliability for enabling the Dempster Shafer theory of evidence sequential combination. A preceding censored process removes the nodes having insignificant sensing data to the broadcasting sensing result process. ...
