Abstract

Cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) in a cognitive radio uses a fusion center, which receives local sensing decisions from multiple secondary users to predict whether primary user is present or absent. Therefore, an ensemble classifier with heterogenous fusion center (EC-HFC) is proposed in this work, where the ensemble classifier comprise three classification algorithms such as logistic regression (LR), support vector machine (SVM), and gaussian naive bayes (GNB). In addition, voting classifier with its variants also employed for finding the best suitable classifier. Further, the performance metrics such as accuracy, F1-score, area under the curve (AUC), probability of detection and probability of false alarm are computed for evaluating the performance of proposed ensemble classifier-based fusion center for cooperative spectrum sensing in cognitive radio. Finally, the obtained receiver operating characteristics (ROC) and extensive simulation results shows that proposed fusion center resulted in superior performance as compared to individual secondary users.
