In this paper, we study the problem of designing the power and number of cooperative node (CN) in the cooperation phase to maximize the average throughput for secondary user (SU), under the constraint of the total cooperation and transmission power. We first investigate the scheme of cooperative spectrum sensing without a separated control channel. Then, we prove that there indeed exist an optimal CN power when the number of CNs is fixed and an optimal CN number when CN power is fixed. The case without the constraints of the power and number of CN is also studied. Finally, numerical results demonstrate the characteristics and existences of optimal CN power and number. Meanwhile, Monte Carlo simulation results match to the theoretical results well.

In this paper, we propose a novel framework to evaluate the depth resolution of axially distributed stereo sensing (ADSS) under fixed resource constraints. The proposed framework can evaluate the performance of ADSS systems based on various sensing parameters such as the number of cameras, the number of total pixels, pixel size and so on. The Monte Carlo simulations for the proposed framework are performed and the evaluation results are presented.

The Distributed Modulated Wideband Converter (DMWC) is a networking system developed from the Modulated Wideband Converter, which converts all sampling channels into sensing nodes with number variables to implement signal undersampling. When the number of sparse subbands changes, the number of nodes can be adjusted flexibly to improve the reconstruction rate. Owing to the different attenuations of distributed nodes in different locations, it is worthwhile to find out how to select the optimal sensing node as the sampling channel. This paper proposes the spectrum sensing of DMWC based on a Markov random field (MRF) to select the ideal node, which is compared to the image edge segmentation. The attenuation of the candidate nodes is estimated based on the attenuation of the neighboring nodes that have participated in the DMWC system. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations show that neighboring attenuation plays an important role in determining the node selection, and selecting the node using MRF can avoid serious transmission attenuation. Furthermore, DMWC can greatly improve recovery performance by using a Markov random field compared with random selection.

택타일 영상을 사용하여 로봇 그리퍼 내부 작업 물체의 미끄럼 및 회전을 감지하는 기법을 제안해 본다. 기존에 제안된 모우멘트 불변량 사용방법의 경우 택셀 수 변화가 발생하는 경우 적용 할 수 없는 단점을 가지고 있다. 에지 ＆ 라인 불변량 특성을 이용한 경우 기본적으로 특정수 이상의 택셀을 가지고 있어야 하므로 택셀수가 적은 경우 적용 할 수 없다. 이 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 택셀 영상을 분석하고 적용기법 결정인자를 추출한다. 이를 이용하여 필터링 문턱값을 설정하여 택타일 영상을 필터링하고, 결정인자에 따라 모우멘트 불변량 사용방법과 에지 ＆ 라인 불변량 사용 방법 중 적합한 기법을 채택하는 새로운 방법을 제안한다 컴퓨터 모의 실험과 하드웨어 실험에 적용한 결과 개선된 이동 및 회전 등 움직임 감지가 가능하였다.

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.

In this paper, a new spectrum sensing method based on energy detection is proposed and analyzed in a cognitive radio(CR) system. We employ a delay diversity receiver for sensing the primary user's spectrum with reasonable cost and complexity. Conventional CR with the receiver equipping multiple antennas requires additional hardware and space for installing multiple antennas in accordance with increase in the number of antennas. If the number of antennas increases, detection probability as well as hardware complexity and cost rise. Then, it is difficult to make a primary user detector practically. Therefore, we adopt a delay diversity receiver for solving problems of the conventional spectrum detector utilizing multiple antennas. We derive analytical expressions for the spectrum sensing performance of the proposed system. From the simulation results, it is demonstrated that the primary user detector with the delay diversity receiver has almost half the complexity and shows similar or improved performance as compared with that employing multiple antennas. Therefore, the proposed spectrum sensing structure can be a practical solution for enhancing the detection capacity in CR system operations. The results of this paper can be applied to legacy CR systems with simple modifications.

Most of the literature on compressed sensing has not paid enough attention to scenarios in which the number of acquired measurements is insufficient to satisfy minimal exact reconstruction requirements. In practice, encountering such scenarios is highly likely, either intentionally or unintentionally, that is, due to high sensing cost or to the lack of knowledge of signal properties. We analyze signal reconstruction performance in this setting. The main result is an expression of the reconstruction error as a function of the number of acquired measurements.

Spectrum sensing is one of the most important functions in cognitive radio systems. In this paper, we focus on reducing the sensing time in a cooperative spectrum sensing paradigm. In the proposed scheme, a sequential detection technique is employed to provide a robust and quick detection system. Each of the secondary users measures the log-likelihood probability of the received signals and then sequentially reports to the base station. Here, the maximum ratio combining (MRC) technique is employed to reduce the average sample number (ASN) in order to reduce the sensing time. This proposed scheme is analyzed and simulated to illustrate the performance in comparison with the other given methods. Analysis and simulation are provided to validate the proposed method.

In cognitive radios, secondary users can use the spectrum exclusively allocated to a primary wireless system if the secondary users detect the spectrum in idle states. Because the secondary users can utilize the idle state of the spectrum, the utilization rate of the spectrum can be improved. The idle states can be detected by using secondary users' sensing schemes. However, the wireless channel environment where secondary users perform the spectrum sensing is not very friendly to secondary users because the signal-to-noise ratio of the received primary signal is very low. Hence, cooperative sensing scheme where more than one secondary user take part in the spectrum sensing is generally used in cognitive radios. In this paper, we investigate the cooperative sensing performance for machine-to-machine communication devices operated by batteries with limited energy. In general, the energy consumed for the spectrum sensing increases as the length of the sensing period and the number of cooperative sensing nodes. Accordingly, even though the total amount of the consumed energy is the same, an energy allocation methodology how to distribute the energy to the sensing period and sensing nodes can achieve the optimum sensing performance, which is numerically analyzed.
