A reliable cooperative spectrum detection scheme in cognitive radio networks

Reliable spectrum detection of the primary user (PU) performs an important role in the cognitive radio network since it’s the foundation of other operations. Spectrum sensing and cognitive signal recognition are two key tasks in the development of cognitive radio (CR) technology in both commercial and military applications. However, when the CR terminals receiving signals have little knowledge about the channel or signal types, these two tasks will become much more difficult. In this paper, we propose a reliable cooperative spectrum detection scheme, which combines the cooperative spectrum sensing with distributed cognitive signal recognition. A novel improved cooperative sensing algorithm is achieved by using a credibility weight factor and the “tug-of-war” rule, which is based on the double threshold detection and Dempster–Shafer theory, to determine whether the PU signals exist. In this scheme, cognitive signal recognition can be used to identify the signal type when the PU signal is present. During the cognitive signal recognition processing, the CR terminals make local classification of the received signals by using Daubechies5 wavelet transform and Fractional Fourier Transform, and send their recognition results to the globe decision making center. A distributed processing uses these cognitive terminals’ local results to make final decisions under the Maximum Likelihood estimation algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed method can achieve good sensing probability and recognition accuracy under the Additive White Gaussian Noise channel.     

协作频谱感知在认知网络中的应用

认知无线电能够灵敏感知周围环境的变化,通过频谱感知功能发现频谱空洞,使得认知无线电能够与周围通信环境相适应。在认知无线电网络中,认知用户（次用户）必须连续地监控频谱,检测主用户是否存在。如果主用户存在,次用户必须尽快地退出该频段,从而不影响主用户。在文中采用一种协作机制,即两用户进行协作频谱感知,从而提高主用户的检测率,减少了检测时间,并且得到捷变增益。我们用Matlab给出仿真结果。     

Optimal Energy Harvesting-based Weighed Cooperative Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Network

In cognitive radio (CR) network, to improve spectrum sensing performance to primary user (PU) and decrease energy wastage of secondary user (SU) in cooperative spectrum sensing, an energy harvesting-based weighed cooperative spectrum sensing is proposed in this paper. The SU harvests the radio frequency (RF) energy of the PU signal and then converts the RF energy into the electric energy to supply the power used for energy detection and cooperation. The time switching model and power splitting model are developed to realize the notion. In the time switching model, the SU performs either spectrum sensing or energy harvesting at any time, while in the power splitting model, the received PU signal is split into two signal streams, one for spectrum sensing and the other one for energy harvesting. A joint optimization problem is formulated to maximize the spectrum access probability of the SU by jointly optimizing sensing time, number of cooperative SUs and splitting factor. The simulation results have shown that compared to the traditional cooperative spectrum sensing, the proposed energy harvesting-based weighed cooperative spectrum sensing can decrease the energy wastage obviously while guaranteeing the maximum spectrum access probability.

协同频谱感知器通过充分利用多个认知无线电用户的空间分集增益,对抗单用户深度衰落和阴影效应问题,降低了感知系统对本地感知用户的灵敏度要求,减少由于单用户检测不确定性带来的系统误判。利用D-S方法进行协同频谱感知,通过在本地提取置信指派,再上传至融合中心进行证据推理与判决,占用较窄的控制信道带宽,达到优于传统方法的检测性能,如“或”、“与”和“最优融合”感知方法。但低信噪用户带来的冲突数据会限制D-S方法性能,使其信噪鲁棒性较差。本文首先定义感知用户基本置信指派函数,基于DSmT提出证据折扣优化 DSmT协同频谱感知器。该感知器根据不同认知用户数据的可靠性,对其置信指派函数进行折扣,加强高可靠性数据对融合结果的贡献,降低不可靠数据对融合结果的干扰,有效解决冲突数据下的协同频谱感知信息融合问题。仿真结果表明,证据折扣优化DSmT协同频谱感知器具有良好的检测性能和信噪比鲁棒性。      

优化的最佳中继协作频谱感知

Adaptive Decode-and-Forward Protocol Based Cooperative Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio with Interference at the Secondary Users

In this paper a novel multiple-user cooperative spectrum sensing scheme (MCSS) based on hybrid relay is proposed to achieve the spatial diversity gain in detection of the primary user (PU) in a cognitive radio (CR) network. A practically important case where co-channel interference signals are present at the network is considered for the analysis. Closed-form expressions of detection probability \((\hbox {P}_{\mathrm{d}})\) and false alarm probability \((\alpha )\) for the proposed adaptive decode-and-forward based multiple-user cooperative spectrum sensing scheme (ADF-MCSS) using energy detector over Rayleigh fading sensing channels is derived in presence of co-channel interference at the secondary user which is far away from the PU. Further we extend the concept of two user amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) cooperative spectrum sensing schemes in multiple-user scenario (i.e. AF-MCSS and DF-MCSS) over Rayleigh fading channels when the secondary user (which is far away from PU) is affected by interference. Closed-form expressions of AF-MCSS and DF-MCSS schemes over a Rayleigh fading channels are also evaluated and compared with that of proposed ADF-MCSS in presence of interference signals at the secondary user. Further the performance analysis of AF-MCSS, DF-MCSS and ADF-MCSS schemes are compared with the existing non-cooperative spectrum sensing schemes in presence of interference at the secondary user. Our analysis is validated by numerical and simulation results for multiple-user CR network. The impact of number of cooperative relays, SNR in sensing channel, energy of interference signal, false alarm on detection probability in proposed ADF, AF and DF schemes is shown.     

Cooperative spectrum sensing using amplify-and-forward relaying with partial relay selection in cognitive radio networks

Cooperative spectrum sensing has been shown to be an effective approach to improve the detection performance by exploiting the spatial diversity among multiple cognitive nodes. By using the amplify-and-forward relaying with partial relay selection, this paper proposes a novel cooperative spectrum sensing scheme, which provides higher detection performance and is interesting in distributed cognitive radio networks. In the proposed sensing scheme, the “best” cognitive relay by means of partial relay selection technique amplifies and forwards the signals transmitted from the primary user (PU) to the cognitive user (CU). Then the CU detects PU’s states (i.e., presence or absence) via an energy detector. Moreover, the average missed-detection probability of proposed sensing scheme is studied over Nakagami-m fading channels, where m is a positive integer. In particular, the tight closed-form lower bounds of the average missed-detection probability are presented for the convenience of performance evaluation in practice. Finally, numerical results are provided to validate the derived closed-form lower bounds and the influence of the number of cognitive relays on the detection performance is also discussed.
