A novel weighed cooperative bandwidth spectrum sensing for spectrum occupancy of cognitive radio network

In cognitive radio network (CRN), a secondary user (SU) may utilize the spectrum resource of the primary user (PU) and avoid causing harmful interference to the primary network (PN) via spectrum sensing. In the traditional time spectrum sensing, the SU cannot detect the PU’s presence during its tran...

Description
Summary:In cognitive radio network (CRN), a secondary user (SU) may utilize the spectrum resource of the primary user (PU) and avoid causing harmful interference to the primary network (PN) via spectrum sensing. In the traditional time spectrum sensing, the SU cannot detect the PU’s presence during its transmission, thus increasing interference to the PN. In this work, a novel weighed cooperative bandwidth spectrum sensing method is proposed, which allows multiple SUs to use part of the bandwidth to perform cooperative spectrum sensing throughout the whole frame in order to detect the PU’s reappearance in time. The SU’s spectrum efficiency is maximized by jointly optimizing sensing bandwidth proportion, number of cooperative SUs and detection probability, subject to the constraints on the SU’s interference and the false alarm probability. Simulation results show significant decrease on the interference and improvement on the spectrum efficiency using the proposed weighed cooperative bandwidth spectrum sensing method.
