Most of the current frequency hopping (FH) based dynamic spectrum access (DSA) methods concern a reactive channel access scheme with synchronous inter-channel spectrum sensing, i.e., FH is reactively triggered by the primary user (PU)'s return reported by spectrum sensing, and the PU channel to be switched to is assumed precisely just sensed or ready to be sensed, as if the inter-channel spectrum sensing moments are synchronous. However, the inter-channel spectrum sensing moments are more likely to be asynchronous, which risks PU suffering more interference. Moreover, the spectrum sensing is usually erroneous, which renders the problem more complex. To address this problem, we propose a proactive FH based DSA method against both erroneous spectrum sensing and asynchronous inter-channel spectrum sensing (moments). We term it as proactive DSA. The optimal FH sequence is obtained by dynamic programming. The complexity is also analyzed. Finally, the simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.

최근 IEEE 802.22 WRAN 워킹 그룹에서는 부족해지는 주파수 부족의 해결을 위해 CR (Cognitive Radio)의 기술개발을 진행 중에 있다. 채널을 센싱하는 방법에 따라 기존의 시스템 (IS: Incumbent System)의 보호에 상당한 영향을 미치기 때문에 네트워크 상황에 따른 최적의 센싱 방법을 선택하는 것이 중요하다. 이에 IEEE 802.22에서 fine sensing을 제안하고 있지만 아직까지는 다양한 네트워크에 효율적으로 적용할 수 없다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 네트워크 환경에 따라 효율적인 센싱 방법을 선택하기 위한 무선인지 네트워크에서 정책기반 채널 센싱구조 및 알고리즘 (Policy-based Channel Sensing Architecture and Algorithms for Cognitive Radio Networks)을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 제안하는 채널 센싱 방법 및 알고리즘의 효율성을 확인하기 위하여 제시한 모의실험 결과는 각 센싱 방법에 따라 차이점을 보였지만 제안하는 채널 센싱 방법이 전체적으로 기존의 시스템 검출 시간 및 QP(Quiet Period)를 줄일 수 있었다. 제안하는 방법 중에 클러스터를 이용한 센싱 방법(Channel division round robin sensing)의 경우 IEEE 802.22에서 제안하는 fine sensing에 비교하여 70%정도 평균 검출시간을 줄일 수 있었다.

This paper describes the optimization of spectrum sensing in terms of the throughput of a cognitive radio (CR) system. Dealing with the optimization problem of spectrum sensing, this paper evaluates the throughput of a CR system by considering such situations as the penalty time of a channel search and incumbent user (IU) detection delay caused by a missed detection of an incumbent signal. Also, this paper suggests a serial channel search scheme as the search method for a vacant channel, and derives its mean channel search time by considering the penalty time due to the false alarm of a vacant channel search. The numerical results suggest the optimum sensing time of the channel search process using the derived mean channel search time of a serial channel search in the case of a sensing hardware structure with single radio frequency (RF) path. It also demonstrates that the average throughput is improved by two separate RF paths in spite of the hardware complexity of an RF receiver.

최근 제한된 주파수 자원의 효율적인 사용을 위한 인지 무선 기술(CR)이 많은 관심을 받고 있다. CR 기술에서 가장 중요한 부분은 인가 사용자의 통신을 보호 하는 것이다. 따라서 비인가 사용자는 자신이 현재 사용 중인 주파수 대역은 물론 인가 사용자가 나타났을 시에 스위칭 해야 할 후보 채널의 주기적인 센싱도 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 CR 환경에서 인가 사용자를 보호하기 위한 방법으로 비인가 사용자로 하여금 각 노드의 남은 에너지와 센싱 존 이웃이라는 개념을 이용하여 협력적인 채널 센싱을 하도록 제안한다. 채널 센싱은 현재 사용하고 있는 채널을 센싱하는 인밴드센싱과 인가 사용자가 나타났을 경우 스위칭 해야할 후보 채널을 센싱하는 아웃밴드 센싱으로 수행된다. 모의 실험을 통해 제안된 방법이 센싱을 수행하는 노드의 수를 줄임으로 인해 센싱에 필요한 많은 에너지가 절약되고, 남은 노드들의 에너지가 균일해 짐으로써 네트워크의 수명이 길어지는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

Cognitive radio (CR) has been recently proposed to dynamically access unused-spectrum. Since the spectrum availability for opportunistic access is determined by spectrum sensing, sensing control is identified as one of the most crucial issues of cognitive radio networks. Out-of-band sensing to find an available channels to sense. Sensing is also required in case of spectrum hand-off. Sensing process needs to be done very fast in order to enhance the quality of service (QoS) of the CR nodes, and transmission not to be cut for longer time. During the sensing, the PU(primary user) detection probability condition should be satisfied. We adopt a channel prediction method to find target channels. Proposed prediction method combines chaotic global method and chaotic local method for channel idle probability prediction. Global method focus on channel history information length and order number of prediction model. Local method focus on local prediction trend. Through making simulation, Proposed method can find an available channel with very high probability, total sensing time is minimized, detection probability of PU's are satisfied.

In this paper, we investigate an adaptive cognitive radio (CR) scheme where a sensing duration and a detection threshold for spectrum sensing are adaptively determined according to the channel condition in a fading channel. We optimize the sensing duration and detection threshold of a secondary user to maximize the performance of the secondary user guaranteeing a primary user's secure communication. In addition, we analyze the effect of channel fading on the optimization of the sensing duration and detection threshold. Our numerical results show that the performance of the adaptive CR scheme can be drastically improved if a secondary user can take the advantage of channel information between primary and secondary users.

Co-channel interference between macro-femtocell networks is an unresolved problem, due to the frequency reuse phenomenon. To mitigate such interference, a secondary femtocell must acquire channel-state knowledge about a co-channel macrocell user and accordingly condition the maximum transmit power of femtocell user. This paper proposes a pilot-based spectrum sensing (PSS) algorithm for overlaid femtocell networks to sense the presence of a macrocell user over a channel of interest. The PSS algorithm senses the pilot tones in the received signal through the power level and the correlation metric comparisons between the received signal and the local reference pilots. On ensuring the existence of a co-channel macrocell user, the maximum transmit power of the corresponding femtocell user is optimized so as to avoid interference. Time and frequency offsets are carefully handled in our proposal. Simulation results show that the PSS algorithm outperforms existing sensing techniques, even at poor received signal quality. It requires less sensing time and provides better detection probability over existing techniques.

In this paper, throughput of IEEE 802.11 carrier-sense multiple access (CSMA) with collision-avoidance (CA) protocols in non-saturated traffic conditions is presented taking into account the impact of imperfect channel sensing. The imperfect channel sensing includes both missed-detection and false alarm and their impact on the utilization of IEEE 802.11 analyzed and expressed as a closed form. To include the imperfect channel sensing at the physical layer, we modified the state transition probabilities of well-known two state Markov process model. Simulation results closely match the theoretical expressions confirming the effectiveness of the proposed model. Based on both theoretical and simulated results, the choice of the best probability detection while maintaining probability of false alarm is less than 0.5 is a key factor for maximizing utilization of IEEE 802.11.

In this paper, we design a covert channel based on instruction gadgets in smart sensing devices. Unlike the existing convert channels that usually utilize diverse physical characteristics or user behaviors or sensory data of smart sensing devices, we show that instruction gadgets could be exploited for covert channel establishment in smart sensing devices. In our devised covert channels, trojan smart sensing devices exchange attack packets in such a way that they encode an attack bit in attack packet to a series of addresses of instruction gadgets and decode an attack bit from a series of addresses of instruction gadgets.

The sensitivity and sensing margin of SOI(silicon on insulator) nano-wire BioFET(field effect transistor) were investigated by using back-gate bias. The channel conductance modulation was affected by doping concentration, channel length and channel width. In order to obtain high sensitivity and large sensing margin, low doping concentration, long channel and narrow width are required. We confirmed that the electrical sensing by back-gate bias is effective method for evaluation and optimization of bio-sensor.
