Abstract
This paper proposes a noncoherent spectrum sensing scheme for the cognitive coexistent heterogeneous networks with the assistance of geolocation information of primary and secondary nodes. Different from the conventional networks with single secondary network, the spectrum sensing scheme in the coexistence scenario should not only detect the primary signal but also detect the secondary signals to avoid the interference with both the primary network and the operating coexistent secondary networks. Therefore, the sensing scheme in this case should be able to differentiate the primary signal from each kind of the secondary signals. However, in the coexistent heterogeneous scenarios, the secondary signals may exploit different PHY modes (some of them may be the same as the primary PHY mode), which imposes difficulties in the coherent signal detection schemes. Aiming to tackle this problem, the parallel detection of both primary signal and each kind of secondary signals is implemented through a proposed noncoherent power decomposition scheme. In this scheme, the power decomposition is formulated into a problem of solving a nonhomogeneous linear equation matrix. During the signal detection, the characteristics of both primary and secondary signals are not required. Both the analysis and the simulation results show the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed scheme.
Highlights
With the rapid growth of the wireless applications, more and more wireless spectrum bands are demanded
When evaluating the detection performance, we do not make differentiation between the primary signal and the secondary signals, instead, we use signal to stand for both of them
Since few similar spectrum sensing techniques with the proposed one can be found in the literature, we evaluate our scheme by comparing its achieved performance with the FCC requirements
Summary
With the rapid growth of the wireless applications, more and more wireless spectrum bands are demanded. One can envision that multiple heterogeneous secondary networks will try to utilize the same spectrum holes in the licensed frequency band due to the lack of coordination In this case, packets collision and the interference cannot be avoided. The open access of TVWS has motivated several standardization efforts such as IEEE 802.22, IEEE 802.11af, the European Computer Manufacturers Association (ECMA) Technical Committee 48 Task Group 1 (TC48-TG1), to develop the PHY and MAC standards to support the operation in this band. Such coexistent different standard-compliant devices lead to the heterogeneity.
