Abstract

In this paper, we propose an effective method for cooperative spectrum sensing in cognitive radios where cognitive user(CR) with the highest reliability sensing data is only selected and allowed to report its local decision to FC as only decision making node. The proposed scheme enables CR users to implicitly compare their sensing data reliabilities based on their likelihood ratio, without any collaboration among cognitive radio users. Due to the mechanism, the proposed cooperative scheme can achieves a high spectrum sensing performance while only requiring extremely low cooperation resources such as signaling overhead and cooperative time in comparison with other existing methods such as maximum ratio combination (MRC) based, equal gain combination (EGC) based and conventional hard combination based cooperative sensing methods.

본 논문에서는 무선인지시스템에서 스펙트럼 센싱을 효율적으로 수행하기 위한 선택적 협력 스펙트럼 검출 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘에서는 각 무선인지 사용자가 자신의 유도비(likelihood ratio)를 기반으로 자신의 센싱 신뢰도를 평가하고, 센싱 신뢰도에 따른 타이머를 활용하는 경쟁기반의 센싱 결과 보고 메커니즘을 활용한다. 이를 통해, 제안된 선택적 협력 스펙트럼 기법에서는 가장 높은 센싱 신뢰도를 갖는 무선인지 사용자만이 국부 스펙트럼 센싱값을 융합센터로 전송함으로써, 스펙트럼 센싱의 성능을 일정한 레벨로 유지하고, 협력 스펙트럼 센싱의 단점인 제어 트래픽 및 협력 센싱 시간을 줄이는 이점을 갖는다.
