Overhead-Throughput Tradeoff Under a Novel Frame Structure in Centralized Cooperative Cognitive Networks

Cooperative spectrum sensing plays an important role in cognitive radio networks since it improves the detection performance by exploiting spatial diversity. However, the cooperation among terminals also brings additional communication overhead. In this paper, overhead-throughput tradeoff issues are investigated in four scenarios namely (1) identical sensing channel and perfect reporting channel, (2) identical sensing channel and imperfect reporting channel, (3) different sensing channel and perfect reporting channel, (4) different sensing channel and imperfect reporting channel of each secondary user (SU). Taking the reporting overhead into consideration, a novel frame structure consisting of an initial subframe and M consecutive subframes, is proposed to maximize the achievable throughput of the secondary network. And for each scenario, the overhead-throughput tradeoff is formulated as an optimization problem with respect to the number of reporting SUs. A brute-force approach is then used to resolve such optimization problem. Given the optimal number of reporting SUs, a set of candidate SUs is then selected according to the probability of detection, the probability of false alarm and the probability of reporting error. Numerical results show that an optimal overhead-throughput tradeoff is achieved given the optimal number of reporting SUs. In addition, the probability of false alarm is shown to be the most important factor affecting the performance of achievable throughput within the secondary network because the lower probability of false alarm corresponds to the case that the secondary network can use the channel with a higher chance.     

Novel distributed algorithm for coalition formation in cognitive radio networks for throughput enhancement using matching theory

In this paper, a novel algorithm is proposed for increasing the throughput in cognitive radio networks by forming coalitions among cognitive radio users in AWGN and fading channel environment. Although there have been numerous studies exploring the benefits of coalition formation in cognitive radio networks from the game theory perspective, there are several limitations in their application. To overcome the limitations of game theory, concepts from matching theory are used. Specifically, the stable marriage problem is used to formulate the interactions among the cognitive radio users as a matching game for collaborative distributed spectrum sensing under target detection probability constraint. The utility function is defined as the average probability of false alarm per cognitive radio user. The advantage of stable marriage is that it always converges to a stable matching and is Pareto optimal when the preferences of cognitive radios are strict. In the proposed model, the stable matching problem is extended to propose a novel algorithm to form coalitions of varying sizes for improving the utility of CR (false alarm and throughput). The coalitions formed using the algorithm are stable and do not deviate from the final matching. Using simulations and mathematical analysis, it is shown that the proposed algorithm leads to stable coalitions and returns significant improvement in terms of reduced probability of false alarm and improved throughput per cognitive radio user as compared to the noncooperative scenario.     

Sensing throughput trade‐off for an energy efficient cognitive radio network under faded sensing and reporting channel

The trade‐off between sensing time and throughput is investigated in the context of an energy‐efficient cognitive radio network considering both the sensing and reporting channels are Rayleigh faded, while the existing literature considered the fading in sensing channel only. In this paper, such a trade‐off is re‐examined under Rayleigh faded sensing as well as reporting channel. Novel analytical expressions for overall detection probability and false alarm probability are developed under such scenario. The performance is investigated in terms of detection probability, false alarm probability, throughput and energy efficiency of the network for different sensing parameters such as sensing time, number of samples, sensing channel signal‐to‐noise ratio and reporting channel signal‐to‐noise ratio. Our analysis shows that the quality of the reporting channel significantly affects the trade‐off performance of the network. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Simultaneous spectrum sensing,data transmission and Energy harvesting in multi‐channel cognitive sensor Networks with imperfect signal cancellation

In multichannel cognitive sensor networks, the sensor users which have limited energy budgets sense the spectrum to determine the activity of the primary user. If the spectrum is idle, the sensor user can access the licensed spectrum. However, during the spectrum sensing, no data transmits. For improving the network throughput and saving more energy consumption, we propose the simultaneous spectrum sensing and data transmission scheme where the sensor receiver decodes the received signal, and from the remaining signal, the status of the channel (idle/busy) is determined. We also consider that the sensor users are powered by a radio‐frequency (RF) energy harvester. In this case, energy harvesting, data transmission, and spectrum sensing are done simultaneously. On the other hand, we select the proper sensor users for spectrum sensing and energy harvesting. We also allocate the best channels for data transmission simultaneously so that the network throughput maximizes and the constraints on the energy consumption and the detection performance are satisfied for each band. We formulate the problem and model it as a coalition game in which sensors act as game players and decide to make coalitions. Each coalition selects one of the channels to sense and transmit data, while the necessary detection probability and false alarm probability and also the energy consumption constraints are satisfied. The utility function of a coalition is proposed based on the energy consumption, false alarm probability, detection probability, and the network throughput. This paper proposes an efficient algorithm to reach a Nash‐stable coalition structure. It is demonstrated that the proposed method maximizes the network throughput and reduces the energy consumption while it provides sufficient detection quality, in comparison to other existent methods.

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 wideband sensing based on cyclostationary features with multiple malicious user elimination

Spectrum sensing is an essential concept in cognitive radio. To overcome the single node sensing issue that arises due to channel impediments, cooperative/multinode sensing is being used. Although cooperation among multiple cognitive users enhances the sensing performance, presence of few malicious cognitive users may severely degrade the efficiency of the system. In this paper, generalized extreme studentized deviate (GESD) and adjusted box-plot (ABP) methods are introduced to increase the sensing reliability of cooperative network by eliminating multiple malicious cognitive users. The performance of the cyclostationary feature detection method is compared with the energy detection method under different channel impediments. The simulation results are carried out with false alarm probability of 0.01 and a detection probability of 0.9. The simulation results reveal that there is a significant improvement in cooperative sensing performance by elimination of multiple malicious user in the network.
