Spectrum Sensing is one of the major steps in Cognitive Radio. There are many methods to conduct Spectrum Sensing. Each method has different detection performances. In this article, the authors propose a modification of one of these methods based on MME algorithm and OAS estimator. In MME&OAS method, in each detection window, OAS estimates the covariance matrix of the signal then the MME algorithm detects the signal on the estimated matrix. In the proposed algorithm, authors assumed that there is correlation between two consecutive decisions, so authors suggest the OAS estimator depending on the last detection decision, and then detect the signal using MME algorithm. Simulation results showed enhancement in detection performance (about 2dB when detection probability is 0.9. compared to MME&OAS method).

In this paper a new blind energy detection spectrum-sensing method based on Discreet Wavelet Transform (DWT) is proposed. The method utilizes the DWT sub-band to collects the received energy. The proposed method recognizes the Primary User (PU) signal from noise only signal using the differences in the collected energy in first and last sub-bands of one level DWT. The simulation results show that the proposed method achieves improved detection probability especially at low Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) compared to Conventional Energy Detector (CED). The results also show that the proposed method has shorter sensing time and less Energy Consumption (EC) compared to CED due to using small number of processed sample. Therefore, this method is suitable for Cognitive Radio (CR) applications where only limited energy like device battery is available.

Spectrum sensing is one of the key technologies in wireless wideband communication. There are still challenges in respect of how to realize fast and robust wideband spectrum sensing technology. In this paper, a novel nonreconstructed sequential compressed wideband spectrum sensing algorithm (NSCWSS) is proposed. Firstly, the algorithm uses a sequential spectrum sensing method based on history memory and reputation to ensure the robustness of the algorithm. Secondly, the algorithm uses the strategy of compressed sensing without reconstruction, which thus ensures the sensing agility of the algorithm. The algorithm is simulated and analyzed by using the centralized cooperative sensing. The theoretical analysis and simulation results reveal that, under the condition of ensuring the certain detection probability, the proposed algorithm effectively reduces complex computation of signal reconstruction, significantly reducing the wideband spectrum sampling rate. At the same time, in the cognitive wideband communication scenarios, the algorithm also achieves a better defense against the SSDF attack in spectrum sensing.

Cognitive radio (CR) is a promising technology for improving usage of frequency band. Cognitive radio users (CUs) are allowed to use the bands without interference in operation of licensed users. Reliable sensing information about status of licensed band is a prerequirement for CR network. Cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) is able to offer an improved sensing reliability compared to individual sensing. However, the sensing performance of CSS can be destroyed due to the appearance of some malicious users. In this paper, we propose a goodness-of-fit (GOF) based cooperative spectrum sensing scheme to detect the dissimilarity between sensing information of normal CUs and that of malicious users, and reject their harmful effect to CSS. The empirical CDF will be used in GOF test to determine the measured distance between distributions of observation sample set according to each hypothesis of licensed user signal. Further, the DS theory is used to combine results of multi-GOF tests. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme can protect the sensing process against the attack from malicious users.

Spectrum sensing in cognitive radio has difficult and complex requirements such as requiring speed and sensing accuracy at very low SNRs. In this paper, the authors propose a novel fully blind sequential multistage spectrum sensing detector to overcome the limitations of single stage detector and make use of the advantages of each detector in each stage. In first stage, energy detection is used because of its simplicity. However, its performance decreases at low SNRs. In second and third stage, the maximum eigenvalues detector is adopted with different smoothing factor in each stage. Maximum eigenvalues detection technique provide good detection performance at low SNRs, but it requires a high computational complexity. In this technique, the probability of detection improves as the smoothing factor raises at the expense of increasing the computational complexity. The simulation results illustrate that the proposed detector has better sensing accuracy than the three individual detectors and a computational complexity lies in between the three individual complexities.

Simulation Results

Compared with the single user spectrum sensing, cooperative spectrum sensing is a promising way to improve the detection precision. However, cooperative spectrum sensing is vulnerable to a variety of attacks, such as the spectrum sensing data falsification attack (SSDF attack). In this paper, we propose a concise cooperative spectrum sensing scheme based on a reliability threshold. We analyze the utility function of SSDF attacker in this scheme, and present the least reliability threshold for the fusion center against SSDF attack. Simulation results show that compared with the traditional cooperative spectrum sensing scheme, the SSDF attacker has a much lower utility in our proposed scheme, which drives it not to attack any more.
