Optimized cooperative spectrum sensing network analysis in nonfading and fading environments

The proposed cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) network is equipped with multiple antennas and an improved energy detector (IED) scheme at each cognitive radio (CR). Each CR in the network receives the information about the primary user (PU) in the form of binary decisions at multiple antennas. Diversity technique called selection combining (SC) scheme is used at multiple antennas to select the maximum value of sensing information present at multiple antennas. Finally, sensing information will be passed to the fusion center (FC) through reporting channel, and the final decision about PU is made at FC using fusion rules. Initially, we have derived the novel missed detection probability expressions for AWGN channel, Rayleigh, and Rician fading environments. Later, the closed form of optimized expressions for proposed CSS network parameters are derived to achieve an optimal performance. The closed form of optimized expressions such as number of CR users (N_opt ), normalize threshold value (λ_n,opt ), and an arbitrary power of the received signal (p_opt ) are derived under various fading environments. The performance is evaluated using complementary receiver operating characteristics (CROC) and total error rate curves. The MATLAB‐based simulations are evaluated with the strong support of theoretical expressions. Finally, various simulation parameters such as sensing channel SNR, the error rate in reporting channel, threshold value, and number of antennas at each CR are considered in the simulation to show the effect on the performance of proposed CSS network.     

Optimization algorithm of periodical cooperative spectrum sensing in cognitive radio

To decrease the interference to the primary user (PU) and improve the detected performance of cognitive radio (CR), a single‐band sensing scheme wherein the CR periodically senses the PU by cooperative spectrum sensing is proposed in this paper. In this scheme, CR first senses and then transmits during each period, and after the presence of the PU is detected, CR has to vacate to search another idle channel. The joint optimization algorithm based on the double optimization is proposed to optimize the periodical cooperative spectrum sensing scheme. The maximal throughput and minimal search time can be respectively obtained through the joint optimization of the local sensing time and the number of the cooperative CRs. We also extend this scheme to the periodical wideband cooperative spectrum sensing, and the joint optimization algorithm of the numbers of the sensing time slots and cooperative CRs is also proposed to obtain the maximal throughput of CR. The simulation shows that the proposed algorithm has lower computational quantity, and compared with the previous algorithms, when SNR = 5 dB, the throughput and search time of the proposed algorithm can respectively improve 0.3 kB and decrease 0.4 s. The simulation also indicates that the wideband cooperative spectrum sensing can achieve higher throughput than the single‐band cooperative spectrum sensing.

Location based spectrum sensing performance analysis over fading channels in cognitive radio networks

This paper analyzes the spectrum sensing performance over fading channel,in which a licensee and multiple unlicensed users coexist and operate in the licensed channel in a local area. The overall average probabilities of detection and false alarm by jointly taking the fading and the locations of all secondary users into account are derived,and a statistical model of cumulate interference is constructed. Based on the cumulate interference,a closed-form expression of outage probability at the primary user's receiver according to a specific distribution of the fading is obtained. Finally,the sensing parameters so as to minimize the total spectrum sensing error and maximize the average opportunistic throughput are obtained. It is noted that the overall average performance analysis and results here enable to benchmark the design of specific spectrum sensing algorithms.     

Detection efficiency of cooperative spectrum sensing in cognitive radio network

Sensing the spectrum in a reliable and efficient manner is crucial to cognitive radio. To combat the channel fading suffered by the single radio, cooperative spectrum sensing is employed, to associate the detection of multiple radios. In this article, the optimization problem of detection efficiency under the constraint of detection probability is investigated, and an algorithm to evaluate the required radio number and sensing time for maximal detection efficiency is presented. To show the effect of cooperation on the detection efficiency, the proposed algorithm is applied to cooperative sensing using the spectral correlation detector under the Rayleigh flat fading channel.

该算法把协作中继分为前N个与后K?N个两部分,首先在前N个中继中感知,若不多于mL个中继检测到主用户或不少于mH个中继检测到主用户,则全局判定为存在或不存在频谱空洞;否则继续在后K?N个中继中感知,只有当前后两次感知不少于n个中继检测到主用户时则才全局判定不存在频谱空洞。在满足虚警概率与检测概率的前提下,构建最小化时隙消耗的目标函数,优化参数mL、mH与N。模拟表明,通过合理设置这些参数,在保证感知性能的前提下,所提增量协作算法的平均时隙消耗明显低于传统协作感知。     

A selective decision–fusion rule for cooperative spectrum sensing using energy detection

Increasing the number of terminals in a cognitive radio network is known to improve the accuracy of cooperative spectrum sensing at the cost of reducing the useful communication time. This downside can be partially mitigated using decision‐based fusion and/or sequential reporting. This paper proposes a novel selective decision‐based cooperative spectrum sensing strategy that limits the reporting time to a single reporting slot with a possibility for retransmissions using automatic repeat request. The terminal with the highest energy estimate sends its local decision to the fusion center to make a final decision. Potential decoding errors are mitigated using threshold‐based automatic repeat request. The performance of the proposed strategy is studied using rigorous mathematical analysis and intensive computer simulations. Results show observable performance enhancements compared with some benchmark strategies in terms of detection accuracy and agility. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Spectrum sensing performance of wireless cognitive radio sensor network with hard-decision fusion over generalized α−μ fading channels

The analysis of spectrum sensing performance of energy detection (ED)-based wireless cognitive radio sensor network (ED-WCRSN) with hard-decision combining (HDC) is presented in this paper. Particularly, several network parameters are derived to estimate the performance of ED-WCRSN, considering channel errors, noise, and generalized $\alpha -\mu$ fading. In the considered network, first, cognitive radio sensor (CRS) senses a primary user (PU), gets sensing data, and then uses an ED to make a local binary decisions about PU's active or inactive status. In both sensing and reporting channels, the channel error probability is also taken into account. Next, HDC technique is used at control center (CC) to combine the locally obtained decisions, and a final decision about the status of the PU is made. To do so, first, the expression for the novel and analytical, which incorporates noise and $\alpha -\mu$ fading, detection probability in a CRS is derived and validated using Monte Carlo simulations in MATLAB and using an experimental setup. Then, utilizing derived mathematical expressions, closed-form expressions of an average error rate (AER), optimal numbers of CRSs, and detection thresholds under noisy and $\alpha -\mu$ fading conditions are developed. The substantial influence of channel and network factors is assessed using receiver operating characteristics (ROC), complementary ROC, and AER. Finally, the impacts of channel and network parameters on ED-WCRSN performance are explored. For numerous parameters of the considered network, the optimal values detection threshold and number of CRSs are also found.

Different sensing durations‐based cooperative spectrum sensing in cognitive radio systems

In order to provide more accurate detection of the primary user's activity in cognitive radio (CR) systems, cooperative spectrum sensing is proposed. The transmit diversity can also be employed by cooperative spectrum sensing to improve the performance of decision reporting. Hence, in the reporting channels between the cognitive users and the base station (BS), space time block code (STBC) scheme is considered in each cluster with time division multiple access (TMDA) method. In this paper, to improve the time efficiency in the case that one cluster makes sensing report, whereas the others do nothing but wait for their orders, we set each cluster with different sensing durations and the clusters will not stop the spectrum sensing until their results are reported. Furthermore, we also adopt the flexible sensing durations to decrease unnecessary energy consumption based on the clusters’ sensing sensitivities. Simulation results and analysis show the better detection performance and time efficiency of the proposed scheme. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

An optimal cooperative spectrum sensing strategy with exponential primary link traffic

In this paper, we investigate the optimal sensing settings for a cognitive radio (CR) network consisting a number of CR users and a fusion center (FC). Our objective is to maximize the channel utilization under the constraint that the signals from the primary user (PU) are sufficiently protected. We focus on the utilization of the channel in which PUs dynamically enter the network with burst nature. Thus, we apply the average error probability (AEP) as the metric of channel utilization. Moreover, in order to protect the PU signal from being interfered, the missing detection probability is applied as the constraint function. Assuming that counting rules are utilized in the FC, we derive the false alarm probability, the missing detection probability, and the AEP in the maximum a posteriori (MAP) fashion. Then, after proving the monotonic properties of the objective function and the constraint function, we propose an efficient algorithm named Algorithm I that can derive the optimal settings for maximizing the channel utilization. Moreover, a simplified algorithm named Algorithm II is also proposed to minimize the AEP, supposing that perfect synchronization exists between the CR users and the PU. Finally, we show our numerical results and compare our optimal results with those found by exhaustive searches. We conclude that our Algorithm I produces optimal results very close to those found by exhaustive searches. Performance comparison between Algorithms I and II is also provided in terms of the AEP and the probability of missing detection. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
