Spectrum sensing is a key technical challenge for cognitive radio (CR). It is well known that multicycle cyclostationarity (MC) detection is a powerful method for spectrum sensing. However, a conventional MC detector is difficult to implement because of its high computational complexity. This paper considers reducing computational complexity by simplifying the test statistic of a conventional MC detector. On the basis of this simplification process, an improved MC detector is proposed. Compared with the conventional detector, the proposed detector has low-computational complexity and high-accuracy sensing performance. Subsequently, the sensing performance is further investigated for the cases of Rayleigh, Nakagami-m, Rician, and Rayleigh fading and lognormal shadowing channels. Furthermore, square-law combining (SLC) is introduced to improve the detection capability in fading and shadowing environments. The corresponding closed-form expressions of average detection probability are derived for each case by the moment generation function (MGF) and contour integral approaches. Finally, illustrative and analytical results show the efficiency and reliability of the proposed detector and the improvement in sensing performance by SLC in multipath fading and lognormal shadowing environments.

The fast and accurate spectrum sensing over an ultra-wide bandwidth is a big challenge for the radio environment cognition. Considering sparse signal feature, two novel compressed sensing schemes are proposed, which can reduce compressed sampling rate in contrast to the traditional scheme. One algorithm is dynamically adjusting compression ratio based on modulation recognition and identification of symbol rate, which can reduce compression ratio. Furthermore, without priori information of the modulation and symbol rate, another improved algorithm is proposed with the application potential in practice, which does not need to reconstruct the signals. The improved algorithm is divided into two stages, which are the approaching stage and the monitoring stage. The overall sampling rate can be dramatically reduced without the performance deterioration of the spectrum detection compared to the conventional static compressed sampling rate algorithm. Numerous results show that the proposed compressed sensing technique can reduce sampling rate by 35%, with an acceptable detection probability over 0.9.

Single-user spectrum sensing is susceptible to multipath effects, shadow effects, hidden terminals and other unfavorable factors, leading to misjudgment of perceived results. In order to increase the detection accuracy and reduce spectrum sensing cost, we propose an adaptive cooperative sensing strategy based on an estimated signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Which can adaptive select different sensing strategy during the local sensing phase. When the estimated SNR is higher than the selection threshold, adaptive double threshold energy detector (ED) is implemented, otherwise cyclostationary feature detector is performed. Due to the fact that only a better sensing strategy is implemented in a period, the detection accuracy is improved under the condition of low SNR with low complexity. The local sensing node transmits the perceived results through the control channel to the fusion center (FC), and uses voting rule to make the hard decision. Thus the transmission bandwidth is effectively saved. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can effectively improve the system detection probability, shorten the average sensing time, and has better robustness without largely increasing the costs of sensing system.

Furthermore, the square-law combining (SLC) is introduced to improve the detection capability over fading-shadowing channels. The corresponding closed-form expressions of average detection probability are derived for each case by the moment generation function (MGF) approach. Finally, illustrative and analytical results show that the efficiency and reliability of proposed detector and the improvement on sensing performance by SLC over composite fading-shadowing channels.

In this study, an uncertainty assessment for surface air temperature(T2m) and precipitation(PCP) over East Asia is carried out. The data simulated by the intergovermental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) Atmosphere-Ocean coupled general circulation Model (AOGCM) are used to assess the uncertainty. Examination of the seasonal uncertainty of T2m and PCP variabilities shows that spring-summer cold bias and fall warm bias of T2m are found over both East Asia and the Korea peninsula. In contrast, distinctly summer dry bias and winter-spring wet bias of PCP over the Korea peninsula is found. To investigate the PCP seasonal variability over East Asia, the cyclostationary empirical orthogonal function(CSEOF) analysis is employed. The CSEOF analysis can extract physical modes (spatio-temporal patterns) and their undulation (PC time series) of PCP, showing the evolution of PCP. A comparison between spatio-temporal patterns of observed and modeled PCP anomalies shows that positive PCP anomalies located in northeastern China (north of Korea) of the multi-model ensemble(MME) cannot explain properly the contribution to summer monsoon rainfalls across Korea and Japan. The uncertainty of modeled PCP indicates that there is disagreement between observed and MME anomalies. The spatio-temporal deviation of the PCP is significantly associated with lower- and upper-level circulations. In particular, lower-level moisture transports from the warm pool of the western Pacific and corresponding moisture convergence significantly contribute to summer rainfalls. These lower- and upper-level circulations physically consistent with PCP give a insight of the reason why differences between modeled and observed PCP occur.

FCC의 TV white space 개방과 관련하여 스펙트럼 센싱에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 다양한 센싱 기법들이 제안되고는 있으나 대부분 실환경을 고려하지 않아 실제 모듈 적용시 원하는 성능을 얻기가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 센싱 모듈의 실환경 적용시 발생할 수 있는 문제점과 이를 제어할 수 있는 방법을 제안하고 전산 모의 실험을 통해 성능을 검증하였다. 우선 시스템 내부 스퓨리어스 성분으로 인한 오경보 가능성을 줄이기 위해 시스템 인식을 통한 채널 상태 정보를 이용하여 수산 신호와 구별할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였고, 다음으로 수신 신호에 여러 개의 협대역 신호가 공존하는 경우에 각 신호의 크기 차이로 발생할 수 있는 미검출 가능성을 줄일 수 있도록 서브밴드 정규화 방식을 제안하였다. 전산 모의 실험 결과 시스템 인식 과정을 통해 스퓨리어스 성분으로 인한 오경보는 발생하지 않았으며, 서브밴드 정규화를 통해 기존 채널 단위의 정규화 방식으로 인해 신호간의 크기차로 발생했던 검출 성능의 차이가 신호간의 크기 차이에 상관없이 신호 자체 크기에 따라 검출 성능이 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

미 연방통신위원회 FCC가 디지털 방송 전환으로 인해 발생되는 유휴 주파수 대해 비면허 시스템의 사용을 허가함에 따라 비면허 시스템은 사용에 앞서 데이터베이스 혹은 센싱 정보를 통해 면허 사용자로의 간섭을 방지하도록 하고 있다. 미국 디지털 TV 표준인 ATSC 신호는 특정 주파수에 강한 파일럿 신호를 포함하고 있어 센싱 알고리즘들은 이 파일럿 신호를 검출하는 메카니즘으로 연구되어 왔으나 페이딩 등의 영향으로 파일럿 주파수 감쇄가 심한 경우에는 검출이 어려운 특징을 나타냈다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이를 보완할 수 있는 방식으로 수신 신호의 에너지를 가중치로 가지는 싸이클로 스테이셔너리 특성을 이용한 새로운 검출 알고리즘 및 데이터 통합 방식을 제안하였다. 전산 모의 실험 결과 약한 파일럿을 가진 신호의 경우 기존 싸이클로 스테이셔너리 특성 최대값만을 이용한 결과보다 제안된 검출 방식을 적용하였을 때 90% 검출 성능 기준으로 약 2dB정도의 SNR 개선 효과가 나타났으며, 제안 검출 방식을 이용한 데이터 통합 방식의 경우에도 기존 방식에 비해 약 2dB정도의 SNR 개선 효과가 나타남으로써 이 방식을 적용할 경우 전송 휴지 기간 감소 흑은 검출 성능 향상 효과를 얻을 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

An uncertainty assessment for precipitation datasets simulated by Atmosphere-Ocean Coupled General Circulation Model (AOGCM) is conducted to provide reliable climate scenario over East Asia. Most of results overestimate precipitation compared to the observational data (wet bias) in spring-fall-winter, while they underestimate precipitation (dry bias) in summer in East Asia. Higher spatial resolution model shows better performances in simulation of precipitation. To assess the uncertainty of spatiotemporal precipitation in East Asia, the cyclostationary empirical orthogonal function (CSEOF) analysis is applied. An annual cycle of precipitation obtained from the CSEOF analysis accounts for the biggest variability in its total variability. A comparison between annual cycles of observed and modeled precipitation anomalies shows distinct differences: 1) positive precipitation anomalies of the multi-model ensemble (MME) for 20 models (thereafter MME20) in summer locate toward the north compared to the observational data so that it cannot explain summer monsoon rainfalls across Korea and Japan. 2) The onset of summer monsoon in MME20 in Korean peninsula starts earlier than observed one. These differences show the uncertainty of modeled precipitation. Also the comparison provides the criteria of annual cycle and correlation between modeled and observational data which helps to select best models and generate a new MME, which is better than the MME20. The spatiotemporal deviation of precipitation is significantly associated with lower-level circulations. In particular, lower-level moisture transports from the warm pool of the western Pacific and corresponding moisture convergence significantly are strongly associated with summer rainfalls. These lower-level circulations physically consistent with precipitation give insight into description of the reason in the monsoon of East Asia why behaviors of individually modeled precipitation differ from that of observation.
