The existing distributed spectrum sensing algorithms usually assume that the information in interaction channel is totally correct and did not consider noise effect. To solve these problems, a new distributed cooperative spectrum sensing scheme based on average consensus is investigated in this paper. Based on minimum mean square deviation criterion, we design an iterative matrix suitable for consensus algorithm with considering the noise of interaction channel. Simulation results show that the proposed method achieves better detection performance under noise effect of interaction channel and outperforms conventional scheme by 11% at-5dB signal to noise ratio (SNR) and 0.1 false alarm probability.

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.

Cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) is an important topic due to its capacity to solve the issue of the hidden terminal. However, the sensing performance of CSS is still poor, especially in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) situations. In this paper, convolutional neural networks (CNN) are considered to extract the features of the observed signal and, as a consequence, improve the sensing performance. More specifically, a novel two-dimensional dataset of the received signal is established and three classical CNN (LeNet, AlexNet and VGG-16)-based CSS schemes are trained and analyzed on the proposed dataset. In addition, sensing performance comparisons are made between the proposed CNN-based CSS schemes and the AND, OR, majority voting-based CSS schemes. The simulation results state that the sensing accuracy of the proposed schemes is greatly improved and the network depth helps with this.

cognitive radio, as a key technology to improve the utilization of radio spectrum, acquired much attention. Moreover, spectrum sensing has an irreplaceable position in the field of cognitive radio and was widely studied. The convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and the gate recurrent unit (GRU) are complementary in their modelling capabilities. In this paper, we introduce a CNN-GRU network to obtain the local information for single-node spectrum sensing, in which CNN is used to extract spatial feature and GRU is used to extract the temporal feature. Then, the combination network receives the features extracted by the CNN-GRU network to achieve multifeatures combination and obtains the final cooperation result. The cooperative spectrum sensing scheme based on Multifeatures Combination Network enhances the sensing reliability by fusing the local information from different sensing nodes. To accommodate the detection of multiple types of signals, we generated 8 kinds of modulation types to train the model. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the cooperative spectrum sensing algorithm proposed in this paper improved detection performance with no prior knowledge about the information of primary user or channel state. Our proposed method achieved competitive performance under the condition of large dynamic signal-to-noise ratio.

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.

In sensing systems, nodes must be able to rapidly detect whether a signal from a primary transmitter is present in a certain spectrum. However, traditional energy-detection algorithms are poorly adapted to treating noisy signals. In this paper, we investigate how rapid energy detection and detection sensitivity are related to detection duration and average power fluctuation in noise. The results indicate that detection performance and detection sensitivity decrease quickly with increasing average power fluctuation in noise and are worse in situations with low signal-to-noise ratio. First, we present a dynamic threshold algorithm based on energy detection to suppress the influence of noise fluctuation and improve the sensing sensitivity. Then, we present a new energy-detection algorithm based on cooperation between nodes. Simulations show that the proposed scheme improves the resistance to average power fluctuation in noise for short detection timescales and provides sensitive detection that improves with increasing numbers of cooperative detectors. In other words, the proposed scheme enhances the ability to overcome noise and improves spectrum sensing performance.

Currently, the cognitive network is receiving much attention due to the advantages it brings to users. An important method in cognitive radio networks is spectrum sensing, as it allows secondary users (SUs) to detect the existence of a primary user (PU). Information of probability of false detection or warning about the PU is sent to a fusion center (FC) by the SUs, from which the FC will decide whether or not to allow the SUs to use the PU spectrum to obtain information. The transmission of information with a high signal to noise ratio (SNR) will increase the FC's ability to detect the existence of the PU. However, researchers are currently focusing on probabilistic formulas assuming that the channel is known ideally or there is nominal channel information at the FC; moreover, one model where the FC only knows the channel correlation matrix. Furthermore, studies are still assuming this is a simple multiple input – multiple output (MIMO) channel model but do not pay much attention to the signal processing at the transmitting and receiving antennas between the SUs and the FCs. A new method introduced in this paper when combining beamforming and hierarchical codebook makes the ability to detect the existence of the PU at the FC significantly increased compared to traditional methods.

Spectrum sensing is one of the key technologies in the field of cognitive radio, which has been widely studied. Among all the sensing methods, energy detection is the most popular because of its simplicity and no requirement of any prior knowledge of the signal. In the case of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), the traditional double-threshold energy detection method employs fixed thresholds and there is no detection result when the energy is between high and low thresholds, which leads to poor detection performance such as lower detection probability and longer spectrum sensing time. To address these problems, we proposed an adaptive double-threshold cooperative spectrum sensing algorithm based on history energy detection. In each sensing period, we calculate the weighting coefficient of thresholds according to the SNR of all cognitive nodes; thus, the upper and lower thresholds can be adjusted adaptively. Furthermore, in a single cognitive node, once the current energy is within the high and low thresholds, we utilize the average energy of history sensing times to rejudge. To ensure the real-time performance, if the average history energy is still between two thresholds, the single-threshold method will be used for the end decision. Finally, the fusion center aggregates the detection results of each node and obtains the final cooperative conclusion through “or” criteria. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the algorithm proposed in this paper improved detection performance significantly compared with the other four different double-threshold algorithms.
