The ever-increasing demand for wireless applications has resulted in an unprecedented radio frequency (RF) spectrum shortage. Ironically, at the same time, actual utilization of the spectrum is sparse in practice [1]. To exploit previously underutilized frequency bands to accommodate new unlicensed applications and achieve highly efficient usage of the spectrum, the Federal Communications Committee (FCC) has repurposed many frequency bands for dynamic spectrum sharing. This includes the 6 GHz band to be shared between Wi-Fi 6 and the incumbent users [2] as well as the 3.5 GHz Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) band [3].

Abstract As the bandwidth increases, the high-speed sampling rate becomes the bottleneck for the development of wideband spectrum sensing. Wideband spectrum sensing with sub-Nyquist sampling attracts more attention and modulated wideband converter (MWC) is an attractive sub-Nyquist sampling system. For the purpose of breaking the system structure limit, an advanced sub-Nyquist sampling framework is proposed to simplify the MWC system structure, adopting the single sampling channel structure with a frequency shifting module to acquire the sub-Nyquist sampling values. In order to recover the signal support information, the sensing matrix must be built according to the only one mixing function. Most existing support recovery methods rely on some prior knowledge about the spectrum sparsity, which is difficult to acquire in practical electromagnetic environment. To address this problem, we propose an adaptive residual energy detection algorithm (ARED), which bypasses the need for the above-mentioned prior knowledge. Simulation results show that, without requiring the aforementioned prior knowledge, the ARED algorithm, which is based on the advanced sub-Nyquist sampling framework, has the similar performance as MWC and even higher than MWC in some cases.

This paper reflects the problem of wideband spectrum recovery. The demand for spectrum usage is increasing exponentially as the wireless technologies rules the world. To meet these needs, Cognitive Radio is one of the emerging technologies, which intelligently allots the spectrum to the secondary users. Since the spectrum is wideband, the capability of spectrum sensing is improved by introducing sub-nyquist sampling under compressive sensing framework. In this paper, a sub-nyquist sampling technique of Modulated Wideband Converter (MWC) is used as it possesses m-parallel channels providing fast sensing and robust structure. A circulant matrix method is used to improve the hardware complexity of MWC. Also at the reconstruction of MWC, a fusion based recovery algorithm is proposed which became an added benefit for perfect recovery of the support. The results are compared with conventional MWC in terms of support recovery, mean square error and SNR gain. Simulations proved that the proposed algorithm performs superior at low as well as high SNR with increased gain.

Spectrum is a kind of non-reproducible scarce strategic resource. A secure wideband spectrum sensing technology provides the possibility for the next generation of ultra-dense, ultra-large-capacity communications to realize the shared utilization of spectrum resources. However, for the open collaborative sensing in cognitive radio networks, the collusion attacks of malicious users greatly affect the accuracy of the sensing results and the security of the entire network. To address this problem, this paper proposes a weighted fusion decision algorithm by using the blockchain technology. The proposed algorithm divides the single-node reputation into active reputation and passive reputation. Through the proposed token threshold concept, the active reputation is set to increase the malicious cost of the node; the passive reputation of the node is determined according to the historical data and recent performance of the blockchain. The final node weight is obtained by considering both kinds of reputation. The proposed scheme can build a trust-free platform for the cognitive radio collaborative networks. Compared with the traditional equal-gain combination algorithm and the centralized sensing algorithm based on the beta reputation system, the simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can obtain reliable sensing results with a lower number of assistants and sampling rate, and can effectively resist malicious users’ collusion attacks. Therefore, the security and the accuracy of cooperative spectrum sensing can be significantly improved in cognitive radio networks.
