One of the main challenges in cognitive radio networks is the ability of secondary users to detect the primary user presence with high probability of detection. In previous research, optimizing cooperative sensing in cognitive radio networks is performed for either a targeted probability of detection or a false alarm. After setting one of the probabilities as an optimization constraint, the other is optimized. In this paper, a guaranteed constant throughput at the secondary users is introduced as a target while optimizing probability of detection for cooperative sensing. Both sensing time values and number of cooperated cognitive radio secondary users are investigated to maximize the probability of detection of primary user. AND and OR hard decision schemes are considered and compared with soft decision scheme which is weighted modified deflection coefficient scheme (W-MDC). It is illustrated that cooperation of all users and utilizing full frames for sensing time will not provide maximum probability of detection. A tradeoff between performances of cognitive radio networks with and without optimization is presented. The effects of varying network sizes, normalized target throughput, maximum frame duration times, and received signal-to-noise ratio at the fusion center are investigated for different fusion rules.

Primary user emulator (PUE) attack occurs in Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) when a malicious secondary user (SU) poses as a primary user (PU) in order to deprive other legitimate SUs the right to free spectral access for opportunistic communication. In most cases, these legitimate SUs are unable to effectively detect PUEs because the quality of the signals received from a PUE may be severely attenuated by channel fading and/or shadowing. Consequently, in this paper, we have investigated the use of cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) to improve PUE detection based on a hybrid localization scheme. We considered different pairs of secondary users (SUs) over different received signal strength (RSS) values to evaluate the energy efficiency, accuracy, and speed of the new cooperative scheme. Based on computer simulations, our findings suggest that a PUE can be effectively detected by a pair of SUs with a low Root Mean Square Error rate of 0.0047 even though these SUs may have close RSS values within the same cluster. Furthermore, our scheme performs better in terms of speed, accuracy and low energy consumption rates when compared with other PUE detection schemes. Thus, it is a viable proposition to better detect PUEs in CRNs.

Propagation Time

In cognitive radio networks spectrum sensing plays a vital role to identify the presence or absence of the primary user. In conventional spectrum sensing one secondary user will make a final decision regarding the availability of licensed spectrum. But Secondary user fail to make a correct detection about the presence of the primary user if he is in fading environment and it causes interference to the licensed users. Therefore to avoid interference to the licensed users and to make correct detection, number of samples is increased, Which increases the probability of detection. In this paper the optimization of samples is proposed to reduce the system overhead and also to increase the propagation time. Simulation results show the optimized value of samples for a given probability of false alarm and also the variation of probability of detection with optimized samples and false alarm is shown in the results. ABSTRAK: Dalam rangkaian radio kognitif, penginderaan spektrum memainkan peranan penting untuk mengenal pasti kehadiran atau ketiadaan pengguna utama. Dalam penginderaan spektrum konvensional, seorang pengguna sekunder akan membuat keputusan akhir mengenai ketersediaan spektrum berlesen. Tetapi pengguna Sekunder gagal membuat pengesanan yang betul mengenai kehadiran pengguna utama jika dia berada dalam persekitaran yang pudar dan menyebabkan gangguan kepada pengguna yang berlesen. Oleh itu untuk mengelakkan gangguan kepada pengguna berlesen dan membuat pengesanan yang betul, jumlah sampel meningkat, yang meningkatkan kemungkinan pengesanan. Dalam makalah ini pengoptimuman sampel dicadangkan untuk mengurangi overhead sistem dan juga untuk meningkatkan waktu penyebaran. Hasil simulasi menunjukkan nilai sampel yang dioptimumkan untuk kebarangkalian penggera palsu dan juga variasi kebarangkalian pengesanan dengan sampel yang dioptimumkan dan penggera palsu ditunjukkan dalam hasil.

Research Areas

Recently, the expansive growth of wireless services, regulated by governmental agencies assigning spectrum to licensed users, has led to a shortage of radio spectrum. Since the FCC (Federal Communications Commissions) approved unlicensed users to access the unused channels of the reserved spectrum, new research areas seeped in, to develop Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN), in order to improve spectrum efficiency and to exploit this feature by enabling secondary users to gain from the spectrum in an opportunistic manner via optimally distributed traffic demands over the spectrum, so as to reduce the risk for monetary loss, from the unused channels. However, Cognitive Radio Networks become vulnerable to various classes of threats that decrease the bandwidth and spectrum usage efficiency. Hence, this survey deals with defining and demonstrating framework of one such attack called the Primary User Emulation Attack and suggests preventive Sensing Protocols to counteract the same. It presents a scenario of the attack and its prevention using Network Simulator-2 for the attack performances and gives an outlook on the various techniques defined to curb the anomaly.
