Smart grid is widely considered to be a next generation power grid, which will be integrated with information feedback communications.However, smart grid communication technologies are subject to inefficient spectrum allocation problems. Cognitive radio networks can solve the problemof spectrumscarcity by opening the under-utilized licensed bands to secondary users. In this paper, adaptive cognitive radio spectrum sensing and sharing algorithms are developed for smart grid environments. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme in comparison with other existing schemes.

The main processes of a cognitive radio system include spectrum sensing, spectrum decision, spectrum sharing, and spectrum conversion. Experimental results show that these stages introduce a time delay that affects the spectrum sensing accuracy, reducing its efficiency. To reduce the time delay, the frequency spectrum prediction was proposed to alleviate the burden on the spectrum sensing. In this paper, the deep recurrent neural network (DRNN) was proposed to predict the spectrum of multiple time slots, since the existing methods only predict the spectrum of one time slot. The continuous state of a channel is divided into a many time slots, forming a time series of the channel state. Since there are more hidden layers in the DRNN than in the RNN, the DRNN has fading memory in its bottom layer as well as in the past input. In addition, the extended Kalman filter was used to train the DRNN, which overcomes the problem of slow convergence and the vanishing gradient of the gradient descent method. The spectrum prediction based on the DRNN was verified with a WiFi signal, and the error of the prediction was analyzed. The simulation results proved that the multiple slot spectrum prediction improved the spectrum efficiency and reduced the energy consumption of spectrum sensing.

Cognitive Radio는 유휴 스펙트럼을 찾아 환경에 맞는 통신방식과 주파수 대역폭을 능동적으로 판단해 재활용하는 지능적인 간섭회피로 방식으로 스펙트럼을 공유하여 전파자원효율을 극대화 하는 기술이다. 이때 PU에 간섭을 일으키지 않기 위한 스펙트럼 센싱 기술이 중요하다. 하지만 상황에 따라 스펙트럼 센싱 알고리즘을 선택할수 있다면 좀더 효율적 센싱을 할수 있을 것이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 퍼지컨트롤러를 통해 에너지검출, 자기상관검출,M atched filter 검출 등을 개별 센싱에 반영하는 시스템 모델을 제안하고 분석한다.

In a device-to-device (D2D) underlaid cellular network, there exist two types of co-channel interference. One type is inter-layer interference caused by spectrum reuse between D2D transmitters and cellular users (CUEs). Another type is intra-layer interference caused by spectrum sharing among D2D pairs. To mitigate the inter-layer interference, we first derive the interference limited area (ILA) to protect the coverage probability of cellular users by modeling D2D users' location as a Poisson point process, where a D2D transmitter is allowed to reuse the spectrum of the CUE only if the D2D transmitter is outside the ILA of the CUE. To coordinate the intra-layer interference, the spectrum sharing criterion of D2D pairs is derived based on the (signal-to-interference ratio) SIR requirement of D2D communication. Based on this criterion, D2D pairs are allowed to share the spectrum when one D2D pair is far from another sufficiently. Furthermore, to maximize the energy efficiency of the system, a resource allocation scheme is proposed according to weighted graph coloring theory and the proposed ILA restriction. Simulation results show that our proposed scheme provides significant performance gains over the conventional scheme and the random allocation scheme.

This article presents a novel cooperative spectrum sharing (CSS) scheme. The primary transmitter transmits a complex Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signal in the first phase, and CSS occurs in the second phase. The secondary transmitter with the largest forwarding channel gain among the nodes that successfully decode the primary signal in the first phase is selected for CSS. This selected node employs a pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM) signal for primary information message (IM) instead of the QAM signal, and it employs a modified PAM signal for the secondary IM. The proposed modified PAM signal depends on the amplitude of the primary PAM signal. This method results in no mutual interference and negligible primary interference constraint and allows a higher degree of exploitation of spatial diversity, thus enabling increase in secondary power to improve primary transmission. The outage performance is enhanced in both the primary and secondary systems. The critical region, in which the primary outage performance is enhanced with the proposed CSS scheme, can be adjusted and widened by varying either the modulation cooperation sharing factor or the number of secondary transmitters.

오늘날의 다양한 무선 시스템을 통한 서비스의 공존은 간섭 문제를 야기시킬 수 있으며, 제한된 주파수 대역을 효율적으로 활용하기 위해서는 보다 정확하고 효과적인 주파수 공유 기술에 대한 연구가 필수적이라고 할 수 있다. 특히 위성시스템이 가지는 광역성으로 인하여 지상시스템과의 주파수 공유는 필수적이다. Ka 대역 주파수를 사용하는 위성 시스템은 지향성 안테나를 사용하게 되므로 위성의 방위각을 고려한 주파수 공유 결과에 대한 분석은 주파수 효율성을 높이는데 매우 큰 역할을 할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 위성망과 지상망과의 간섭을 안테나의 방위각을 고려하여 분석한 결과를 제시하고, 주파수 공유 시 요구되는 망간 최소 이격 거리를 분석한 결과를 제시함으로써 분석 결과가 실제 시스템 설계 및 구현에 활용될 수 있도록 하고 있다.

Efficient spectrum sharing is an important issue in Device-to-Device (D2D) communications underlaying cellular networks as it can mitigate the interference to cellular users and improve the performance of the systems. In this paper, we formulate the radio resource allocation in D2D communications as a mixed nonlinear integer programing. We show the formulated problem is NP-hard and thus a polynomial time algorithm to solve is not possible. Since such a problem is very hard to obtain the optimal solution within a short running time, we instead propose a fast heuristic suboptimal algorithm to mitigate the interference caused to cellular users and improve the performance of the systems. Simulation results are provided to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm.

Coexistence analysis is extremely important in examining the possibility for spectrum sharing between orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)-based international mobile telecommunications (IMT)-Advanced and other wireless services. In this letter, a new closed form method is derived based on power spectral density analysis in order to analyze the coexistence of OFDM-based IMT-Advanced systems and broadcasting frequency modulation (FM) systems. The proposed method evaluates more exact interference power of IMT-Advanced systems in FM broadcasting systems than the advanced minimum coupling loss (A-MCL) method. Numerical results show that the interference power is 1.3 dB and 3 dB less than that obtained using the A-MCL method at cochannel and adjacent channel, respectively. This reduces the minimum separation distance between the two systems, which eventually saves spectrum resources.

Spectrum sensing, as a fundamental functionality of Cognitive Radio (CR), enables Secondary Users (SUs) to monitor the spectrum and detect spectrum holes that could be used. Recently, the security issues of Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) have attracted increasing research attention. As one of the attacks against CRNs, a Primary User Emulation (PUE) attack compromises the spectrum sensing of CR, where an attacker monopolizes the spectrum holes by impersonating the Primary User (PU) to prevent SUs from accessing the idle frequency bands. Energy detection is often used to sense the spectrum in CRNs, but the presence of PUE attack has not been considered. This study examined the effect of PUE attack on the performance of energy detection-based spectrum sensing technique. In the proposed protocol, the stationary helper nodes (HNs) are deployed in multiple stages and distributed over the coverage area of the PUs to deliver spectrum status information to the next stage of HNs and to SUs. On the other hand, the first stage of HNs is also responsible for inferring the existence of the PU based on the energy detection technique. In addition, this system provides the detection threshold under the constraints imposed on the probabilities of a miss detection and false alarm.
