Multi-Antenna Assisted Spectrum Sensing for Cognitive Radio in Nakagami-M Fading Channel

CR (Cognitive Radio) is a key technology that enables the limited and inefficiently used frequency bands to be used more effectively with an opportunistic approach. Communication performance and continuity in cognitive radio networks are highly dependent on whether the spectrum sensing function is performed correctly or not.

Fading channels shows that the speed of the SU increases, the energy detection performance decreases in deterioration in detection probability

Among the basic components of cognitive radio technology is spectrum sensing technology. Cooperative spectrum sensing is also a crucial factor research directions of spectrum sensing. Due to the problems of channel fading and hidden nodes, the spectrum sensing based on a single node cannot meet the requirements of the cognitive radio system for the primary user (PU) detection performance. A spectrum sensing algorithm is based on CNN-SVM and covariance matrix. In this algorithm, the covariance matrix of the signal is input into the convolutional neural network for feature extraction. Secondly, the result of the fully connected layer is taken as the input of the support vector machine for training to obtain a classifier, and finally, spectrum sensing is performed. The simulation outcomes demonstrate that the algorithm suggested in this research works outperform other algorithms in this paper.

Spectrum Sensing for Cognitive Radio Based on Feature Extraction and Deep Learning

In cognitive radio, spectrum sensing is used to determine whether the primary user is using the spectrum based on the signal received on a specific frequency band, thereby determining whether the secondary user can use the spectrum. The main problem faced by spectrum sensing is how to identify the existence of the primary signal under the condition of low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

Ensemble Classifier with Heterogenous Fusion Center for Cooperative Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio

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.

Federated Learning-Based Cooperative Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio

Deep cooperative sensing is a cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) algorithm based on a deep neural network (DNN). Since training DNN requires a large amount of sample data, what is worse existing algorithms directly send training data to the fusion center (FC), which greatly occupies the transmission channel. Motivated by this, in this letter, we introduce the federated learning framework to CSS and propose a federated learning-based spectrum sensing (FLSS) algorithm. In the federated learning framework, there is no need to gather data together. Each secondary user (SU) uses local data to train the neural network model and sends the gradient to FC to integrate the parameters. This framework can perform collaborative training while ensuring local data privacy and greatly reducing the traffic load between SU and FC. Besides, we adopt an efficient network model ShufflenetV2 to reduce the number of parameters and improve training efficiency. Simulation results demonstrate that the FLSS can achieve a detection probability of 98.78% with a false alarm probability of 1% at SNR = −15dB.

Estimation of Distribution of Primary Channel Periods Based on Imperfect Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio

Spectrum occupancy modeling plays an important role in improving the performance of Cognitive Radio (CR) systems, because most of the methods to improve Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA) performance need to make assumptions about the channel periods’ distribution. However, Secondary Users (SUs) cannot directly observe the accurate channel periods’ distribution due to the sensing errors caused by noise, which will lead to inaccurate analysis of transmission efficiency or throughput. In this paper, we analyze the influence of different types of sensing errors on the observed channel periods, and establish the relationship between the Probability Mass Function (PMF) of idle periods under Imperfect Spectrum Sensing (ISS) and the results under Perfect Spectrum Sensing (PSS). In addition, we derive a closed-form expression for estimating the PMF of channel periods from the sensing results under ISS. Simulation results show that the proposed estimation method is more accurate than the existing methods, and is not affected by the sensing period, channel mean period and sensing error probability.

Deep Learning for Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio

The detection of primary user signals is essential for optimum utilization of a spectrum by secondary users in cognitive radio (CR). The conventional spectrum sensing schemes have the problem of missed detection/false alarm, which hampers the proper utilization of spectrum. Spectrum sensing through deep learning minimizes the margin of error in the detection of the free spectrum. This research provides an insight into using a deep neural network for spectrum sensing. A deep learning based model, “DLSenseNet”, is proposed, which exploits structural information of received modulated signals for spectrum sensing. The experiments were performed using RadioML2016.10b dataset and the outcome was studied. It was found that “DLSenseNet” provides better spectrum detection than other sensing models.

A Deep Neural Network Model for Hybrid Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio

Spectrum sensing (SS) is an essential task of the secondary user (SU) in a cognitive radio system. SS monitors the primary user (PU) activity in order to avoid any collision with SU, as the latter should be silent when PU is active on a given channel. Hybrid SS (HSS) is one of the powerful methods used to monitor PU activity. It consists of using different detectors together to make a final decision on the PU status. In this manuscript, artificial neural networks (ANN) are used to perform HSS. Since our data is composed from the test statistics (TSs) of several detectors, thus it can be modeled as tabular. Fully connected neural networks become the most suitable ANN model. We applied cutting-edge techniques in the field of deep learning in order to get the best possible accurate neural network model in our application. These techniques boil down to: embedding, regularization, batch normalization and smart learning rate selection. With the help TSs related to several detectors, ANN is trained to distinguish between two hypotheses, $$H_0$$ : PU is absent and $$H_1$$ : PU is active. Numerical results show the effectiveness of our proposed ANN-based HSS, as it outperforms the classical ANN-based energy detector and proves its capability to detect PU signal at very low SNR.
