Cognitive radio (CR), which is proposed as a technology that utilizes the frequency resources effectively, has studied to relive scarcity of the frequency resources. CR provides opportunistically unused frequency to the secondary user when the primary user is not detected. Spectrum sensing is the most important technology to detect primary user. However, in the wireless channels, according to the effect of multipath fading channel, spectrum sensing performance is compromised. Therefore, in this paper, we apply diversity scheme that is a useful technique for combating multiple fading in wireless communications. There are several classes of diversity scheme, which are time diversity, antenna diversity, muitipath diversity, frequency diversity, and so on. In this paper, we adopt antenna diversity that is a kind of space diversity. By using the proposed method, we can overcome fading effect and improve spectrum sensing performance.

In this paper, to improve performance of spectrum sensing, we propose the method which can find optimal threshold based on power of PU(Primary User) signal. To find optimal threshold value, we will use mathematical method, and find threshold which can has lowest error probability. Each SU(Secondary User) use this threshold and All Su makes local decision. All Su Send local decision to FC(Fusion Center). In this paper we consider K-out-of-n rule to combining local decision. To make global decision value, FC find optimal n. In the FC. FC received local decision which has lowest error probability and using optimal n and these vaule. FC make global decision value. In this paper, to analysis performance proposed scheme, we simulate proposed scheme using matlab and compare with traditional OR Rule. As a result of simulation, we can know that preposed scheme can get a better performance than traditional OR rule.

The latest mobile applications such as augmented reality, virtual reality, and deep learning can be used efficiently in various fields such as emergency management and game. Accordingly the corresponding applications have been developed for these purposes. However modern mobile applications such as augmented reality and virtual reality increase the energy burden on mobile devices. In order for mobile devices to focus their energy on the latest mobile applications, energy consumption should be minimized for communication and networking, such as cognitive radio. In this paper, we propose a method to reduce the energy consumption of Centralized Cooperative Spectrum Sensing (CCSS) scheme in cognitive radio by devising Stop Reporting Algorithm (SRA). Simulation results show that SRA can reduce energy consumption of mobile devices using cognitive radio.

Recently, the intelligent transportation system (ITS) that provides driver convenience and reduces the number of road casualties is in the spotlight. ITS must quickly deal with the emergency situation and provide information which drivers need. In ITS, a different channel will be assigned for each service to provide the service efficiently. However, if the channel is used at an emergency situation, the service cannot be provided immediately. For overcome this problem, we introduce the cognitive radio technology into ITS and propose a new spectrum sensing method in this paper.

무선 네트워크 환경에서 스펙트럼 자원을 효율적으로 활용할 수 있는 무선 인지 (Cognitive Radio, CR) 중 기지국이나 접속점과 같은 중앙 제어장치가 없는 분산형 무선 인지 네트워크 (Distributed Cognitive Radio Network, DCRN)에서는 부 사용자 (Secondary User, SU)들의 하드웨어적 한계로 인해 주 사용자 (Primary User, PU)들에게 인가된 스펙트럼의 모든 정보를 알 수 없다. 이를 극복하기 위해 SU들은 협력적 스펙트럼 감지 (Cooperative Spectrum Sensing)를 통하여 지역적인 스펙트럼 정보를 서로 교환하여 전체 스펙트럼의 정보를 파악한다. 본 논문은 효율적인 협력적 스펙트럼 감지를 위하여 PU 채널 상태의 비율을 사용한 정책 기반 감지 채널 선택 방법인 비율 기반 감지 정책 (Proportion-based Sensing Policy, PSP)을 제안한다. 각 SU가 PU의 채널 사용을 감지하고 PU 채널들의 idle 상태의 비율을 계산하고, 이 결과를 바탕으로 감지하는 PU 채널 변경 시, 높은 idle 비율을 갖는 PU 채널을 우선적으로 선택하여 감지되는 PU 상태가 idle 일 확률을 높여 효율적인 채널 감지를 가능하게 한다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통하여 기존에 제안된 채널 감지 정책보다 비율 기반의 채널 감지 정책이 효율적으로 PU 채널들을 감지하는 것을 알 수 있다.

The concept of Internet of Things (IoT) has shed new light on WSN technologies. MAC protocol issues improving the network performance are important in WSNs because of the increase in demand for various applications to secure spectrum resources. Cognitive radio (CR) technology is regarded as a solution to the problems in this future wireless network. In recent years, energy efficiency has become an issue in CR networks. However, few relevant studies have been conducted. In this paper, an energy-efficient non-overlapping channel MAC (ENC-MAC) for CR-enabled sensor networks (CRSNs) is proposed. Applying the dedicated control channel approach, ENC-MAC allows the SUs to utilize channels in a non-overlapping manner, and thus spectrum efficiency is improved. Moreover, the cooperative spectrum sensing that allows an SU to use only two minislots in the sensing phase is addressed to en-hance energy efficiency. In addition, an analytical model for evaluating the performance, such as saturation throughput, average packet delay, and network lifetime, is developed. It is shown in our results that ENC-MAC remarkably outperforms existing MAC protocols.

In this paper, idle channel search schemes based on spectrum sensing are proposed for cognitive radio systems with multiple channels. Specifically, we propose a scheme for determining the order of sensing for multiple channels, for which the probability of each channel being idle is estimated every search interval. By performing sensing in the descending order of the probabilities, the time required for searching idle channels is expected to decrease. In addition, we combine the proposed scheme with a user grouping scheme to further improve the sensing performance. Simulation results show that the user grouping reduces the search time, although it degrades the reliability of detection. The proposed search scheme based on probability estimation of channel idleness is found to reduce the search time significantly as compared to the conventional random search scheme. We apply both the proposed search scheme and user grouping scheme to a cognitive radio system to validate the overall performance.

Cognitive Radio(CR)는 특정 주파수 대역을 사용하도록 할당된 유저가 사용하지 않을 때, 이를 탐지하여 해당 주파수 대역을 이용함으로써 주파수 스펙트럼 효율을 향상시킬 수 있는 기술이다. 특히, CR에서 스펙트럼 센싱(Spectrum Sensing)은 중요한 기술의 하나라고 말할 수 있다. 기존의 스펙트럼 센싱 성능을 향상시키기 위한 방법으로, 다수의 노드가 각각 판정한 결과를 이용하는 OR-Rule, AND-Rule 등의 기법이 제안된 바 있다. 본 논문에서는 수신 다이버시티 기법 중의 하나인 Equal Gain Combiner(EGC) 알고리듬 이용하여 스펙트럼 센싱 성능을 알아보고 특히, 기존의 방법은 각 노드에서 판정 후 판정부에서 그 결과를 결합하여 최종 판정하는 방법이나, 본 논문에서 적용한 EGC 기법은 각 노드에서 수신된 신호에 대한 검출된 에너지 값을 융합센터(Fusion Center)로 보내어 최종 판정하는 방법이다. 각 노드에서 검출된 에너지 값을 융합센터가 수신한 신호에는 실질적으로 잡음이 섞이게 되므로 이로 인하여 발생할 수 있는 전송 오류를 추가적으로 고려하였다. 또한, 각 노드에서 검출한 에너지 값이 융합센터로 전송될 때에는 양자화 되어서 전송된다. 이에 따라서 양자화 bit수와 관련된 센싱 성능과 데이터의 반복 전송의 필요성, 그리고 그 횟수에 대해 제시하고자 한다.

Recently, cognitive radio technology has been spotlighted for the efficient use of limited frequency technology. The most important part of CR is to protect the incumbent user's communications. Therefore, CR user should be sensing the currently using channel and another hopping channel for sudden appearance of the Incumbent User. In this paper, we propose the cooperative channel sensing to protect the IU considering each CR user's remained power and sensing-zone, sense the spectrum bands in a fairly distributed manner and share the results among the users within respective sensing zone. Sensing scheme including inband sensing and outband sensing is utilized. The inband sensing is in charge of current using channel scanning while the outband sensing mainly cares about other channels. The performance results by computer simulations show that our sensing scheduling scheme reduces the number of sensing nodes and saves energy need to channel sensing.
