Cooperative spectrum sensing is a key technology to tackle the challenges such as fading or hidden terminal problem in local spectrum sensing of cognitive radio system. Conventional cooperative method can improve the detection performance in some sense, but increase overhead of control channel. In order to reduce the overhead, a new cooperative spectrum sensing algorithm based on confidence level is proposed. In this algorithm, the maximum-eigenvalue-based detection scheme is carried out to obtain the local spectrum detection and the detection probability and false alarm probability of each secondary user are used to estimate the reliability of the sensing decision. The test statistic of the secondary users with high reliability are chosen and sent to fusion center. Then weighted factors of chosen secondary users are derived from creditability values, and the global decision is made by weighted fusion at fusion center. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm improves the detection probability in the guarantee of the false-alarm probability close to 0 and saves half of the overhead in the control channel.

Sensing strategy directly influences the sensing accuracy of a spectrum sensing scheme. As a result, the optimization of a sensing strategy appears to be of great significance for accuracy improvement in spectrum sensing. Motivated by this, a novel sensing strategy is proposed in this paper, where an improved tradeoff among detection probability, false-alarm probability and available throughput is obtained based on the energy detector. We provide the optimal sensing performance and exhibit its superiority in theory compared with the classical scheme. Finally, simulations validate the conclusions drawn in this paper.

This paper measures the performance of cooperative spectrum sensing, over Rayleigh-fading channel and additive white Gaussian noise, based on one-bit hard decision scheme for both AND and OR rules. Three measures based on energy detection are considered including effect of false alarm probability, effect of number of users, and effect of number of samples. Simulation results show that the detection probability increases with increasing false alarm probability, number of users, and number of samples for both AND and OR rules. Also, the performance of OR rule is better than the performance of AND rule.

This paper proposes a novel weighted-cooperative spectrum sensing scheme using clustering for cognitive radio system. We firstly classify the secondary users into a few clusters according to several existent methods, and then use cluster-head to collect the observation results come from different secondary users in the same cluster and make a cluster-decision. Considering the different distances between the clusters and the fusion center, different weightings are used to weight the cluster-decisions before combining. The simulation results show that our proposed method improve the probability of detection and reduce the probability of error.

Abstract This paper measures the performance of cooperative spectrum sensing, over Rayleigh fading channel and additive white Gaussian noise, based on softened two-bit hard combination scheme. Two measures based on energy detection are considered including effect of false alarm probability, and effect of number of users. Simulation results show that the detection probability increases with the increase of false alarm probability, number of users, and signal-to-noise-ratio.

The centralized cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) allows unlicensed users to share their local sensing observations with the fusion center (FC) for sensing the licensed user spectrum. Although collaboration leads to better sensing, malicious user (MU) participation in CSS results in performance degradation. The proposed technique is based on Kullback Leibler Divergence (KLD) algorithm for mitigating the MUs attack in CSS. The secondary users (SUs) inform FC about the primary user (PU) spectrum availability by sending received energy statistics. Unlike the previous KLD algorithm where the individual SU sensing information is utilized for measuring the KLD, in this work MUs are identified and separated based on the individual SU decision and the average sensing statistics received from all other users. The proposed KLD assigns lower weights to the sensing information of MUs, while the normal SUs information receives higher weights. The proposed method has been tested in the presence of always yes, always no, opposite, and random opposite MUs. Simulations confirm that the proposed KLD scheme has surpassed the existing soft combination schemes in estimating the PU activity.

Spectrum Sensing (SS) is an important function in Cognitive Radio (CR) to detect primary users. The design of SS algorithms is one of the most challenging tasks in CR and requires innovative hardware and software solutions to enhance detection probability and minimize low false alarm probability. Although several SS algorithms have been developed in the specialized literature, limited work has been done to practically demonstrate the feasibility of this function on platforms with significant computational and hardware constraints. In this paper, SS is demonstrated using a low cost TV tuner as agile front-end for sensing a large portion of the Ultra-High Frequency (UHF) spectrum. The problems encountered and the limitations imposed by the front-end are analysed along with the solutions adopted. Finally, the spectrum sensor developed is implemented on an Android device and SS implementation is demonstrated using a smartphone.

In this paper, we propose a reliable spectrum sensing strategy based on multiple-antenna technique, called RSS-MAT, to combat the channel uncertainties. We derive the closed-form expressions of the false alarm probability and detection probability for RSS-MAT. Finally, we present simulation results to validate our performance analysis. As expected, the simulation results show that RSS-MAT outperforms the spectrum sensing strategy with single antenna.

Cognitive radio is a promising technology to solve the spectrum scarcity problem caused by inefficient utilization of radio spectrum bands. It allows secondary users to opportunistically access the underutilized spectrum bands assigned to licensed primary users. The local individual spectrum detection is inefficient, and cooperative spectrum sensing is employed to enhance spectrum detection accuracy. However, cooperative spectrum sensing opens up opportunities for new types of security attacks related to the cognitive cycle. One of these attacks is the spectrum sensing data falsification attack, where malicious secondary users send falsified sensing reports about spectrum availability to mislead the fusion center. This internal attack cannot be prevented using traditional cryptography mechanisms. To the best of our knowledge, none of the previous work has considered both unreliable communication environments and the spectrum sensing data falsification attack for cognitive radio based smart grid applications. This paper proposes a fuzzy inference system based on four conflicting descriptors. An attack model is formulated to determine the probability of detection for both honest and malicious secondary users. It considers four independent malicious secondary users’ attacking strategies of always yes, always no, random, and opposite attacks. The performance of the proposed fuzzy fusion system is simulated and compared with the conventional fusion rules of AND, OR, Majority, and the reliable fuzzy fusion that does not consider the secondary user’s sensing reputation. The results indicate that incorporating sensing reputation in the fusion center has enhanced the accuracy of spectrum detection and have prevented malicious secondary users from participating in the spectrum detection fusion

Abstract In this paper, a cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) model is proposed to sense n-number of primary users (PUs) using n-number secondary users (SUs) in a sequence by applying support vector machine (SVM) algorithm using three different kernels namely linear, polynomial and radial basis function (RBF) respectively. In this method, fusion centre (FC) instructs all the SUs through control channel, which PU is to be sensed by sending a pre-defined primary user identification code (PUid) and each SU sense the Kth PU spectrum information and stored in a database at FC. SU transmits a bit ‘0’ or bit ‘1’ along with PU sensing information to the FC to indicate whether it needs a spectrum band to transmit the data or not. SU add two identification codes along with sensing information to the FC which indicates that from which SU the sensing information received and which PU is sensed by the SU. For simulation 500 data samples are used and the simulation results show an accuracy of 96% and false alarm value of 1.3% in classifying the SU sensing information at FC using RBF kernel. Another method is proposed with multiclass classification by applying SVM algorithm using RBF kernel. The confusion region class is classified with zero false alarm percentage and achieves an accuracy of 99.3% in classifying the SU sensing information at FC.
