Abstract

Cooperative spectrum sensing can improve sensing reliability, compared with single node spectrum sensing. In addition, Eigenvalue-based spectrum sensing has also drawn a great attention due to its performance improvement over the energy detection method in which the more smoothing factor, the better performance is achieved. However, the more smoothing factor in Eignevalue-based spectrum sensing requires the more sensing time. Furthermore, more reporting time in cooperative sensing will be required as the number of nodes increases. Subsequently, we in this paper propose an Eigenvalue and superposition-based spectrum sensing where the reporting time is utilized so as to increase the number of smoothing factors for autocorrelation calculation. Simulation result demonstrates that the proposed scheme has better detection probability in both local as well as global detection while requiring less sensing time as compared with conventional Eigenvalue-based detection scheme.

단일 노드 스펙트럼 센싱과 비교했을 때, 협력스펙트럼 센싱은 스펙트럼 센싱의 신뢰도를 크게 향상 시킬 수 있다. 또한 고유값(Eigenvalue)기반의 스펙트럼 센싱 기법은 에너지 검출 기반의 센싱 기법에 비해 센싱 성능을 제공할 수 있기 때문에 최근 많은 관심을 끌고 있다. 고유값(Eigenvalue)기반의 스펙트럼 센싱 기법의 성능은 smoothing factor (SF)가 증가함에 따라 더 좋은 센싱 결과를 얻을 수 있으나, SF값이 증가함에 따라 더 긴 센싱 시간이 요구된다. 더나가 협력 스펙트럼의 경우, 노드수가 증가함에 따라 더 많은 전송시간이 요구됨으로, 고유값(Eigenvalue)기반의 협력 스펙트럼 센싱의 경우 SF값이 센싱 시간을 결정하는 중요한 요소가 된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 센싱 시간을 증가하지 않고 SF값을 증가시킬 수 있는 고유값 및 중첩기반의 협력 스펙트럼 센싱 기법을 제안한다. 제안된 방식에서는 SF값을 증가시키기 위하여 전송(reporting) 시간을 활용한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 방식이 기존 고유값 (Eigenvalue)기반의 센싱기법에 비교하여 더 작은 센싱 시간을 유지하면서 국부(local) 센싱값 및 전체(global) 센싱값을 향상 시킬 수 있음을 보였다.
