Abstract
This paper proposes a new spectrum sensing technique, referred to as autonomous compressive sensing (CS)-augmented spectrum sensing, which can be developed to provide more efficient spectrum opportunity identification than geolocation database methods. First, we propose an autonomous CS-based sensing algorithm that enables the local secondary users (SUs) to automatically choose the minimum sensing time without knowledge of spectral sparsity or channel characteristics. The compressive samples are collected block-by-block in time, while the spectral is gradually reconstructed until the proposed stopping criterion is reached. Moreover, a CS-based blind cooperating user selection algorithm is proposed to select the cooperating SUs via indirectly measuring the degeneration of the signal-to-noise ratio experienced by different SUs. Numerical and real-world test results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms achieve high detection performance with reduced sensing time and number of cooperating SUs in comparison with the conventional compressive spectrum sensing algorithms.

Summary
R EGULATORY bodies worldwide are facing that the rapid growth of wireless communication industry is overwhelming current static spectrum supply, and encourages an urgent need for improved spectrum assignment strategy to mitigate the gap between the available spectrum and the demand [1], [2]. The current shared spectrum access systems either utilize geo-location database to determine which portion of the spectrum is unoccupied or make use of environmental sensing capability (ESC) system to sense the presence of the incumbent users [4]. 1) Firstly, in order to reduce both the sensing time and data processing burden, and provide the exact signal reconstruction without any extra channel assumption including prior knowledge of sparsity, we propose an autonomous CS-based sensing algorithm that enables the local SUs to choose the number of compressive samples automatically. 2) Secondly, we propose a CS-based blind cooperating user selection algorithm over wide spectrum without any prior knowledge of the primary signals, sensor locations.
