본 논문에서는 협력하고자하는 소출력 기기들이 협력 스펙트럼 센싱 할 경우 협력 노드들이 같은 FA(False Alarm)가지고 있다 가정하며, 이때 최적의 임계값을 셋팅하고 서로 정보를 공유하는 시스템 모델을 제안하고 성능을 분석한다. 협력하고자하는 모든 노드의 False alarm이 같아도 각 채널에 따라 임계값이 달라지게 된다. 임계값이 낮아지면 검출확률이 낮아지게 되고, 반대로 임계값이 높을 때 검출확률은 높아지는 특성을 가지기 때문에, 따라서 가장 높음 임계값을 선택하여 세팅하고 공유하게 된다. 이는 협력스펙트럼 센싱시 가장 높은 임계값을 공유함으로써 고정되어 있는 임계값을 보다 높은 검출성능을 보일 수 있다.

In this paper, a multi-hop transmission protocol based on parallel communication of secondary users (SUs) is proposed. The primary multi-hop network coexists with a set of SUs by cooperative spectrum sharing. The main optimization target of our protocol is the overall performance of the secondary system with the guarantee of the primary outage performance. The energy consumption of the primary system is reduced by the cooperation of SUs. The aim of the primary source is to communicate with the primary destination via a number of primary relays. SUs may serve as extra decode-and-forward relays for the primary network. When an SU acts as a relay for a primary user (PU), some other SUs that satisfy the condition for parallel communication are selected to simultaneously access the primary spectrum for secondary transmissions. For the proposed protocol, two opportunistic routing strategies are proposed, and a search algorithm to select the SUs for parallel communication is described. The throughput of the SUs and the PU is illustrated. Numerical results demonstrate that the average throughput of the SUs is greatly improved, and the end-to-end throughput of the PU is slightly increased in the proposed protocol when there are more than seven SUs.

In this paper, we investigate a power control problem which is very critical in underlay-based spectrum sharing systems. Although an underlay-based spectrum sharing system is more efficient compared to an overlay-based spectrum sharing system in terms of spectral utilization, some practical problems obstruct its commercialization. One of them is a real-time-based power adaptation of secondary transmitters. In the underlay-based spectrum sharing system, it is essential to adapt secondary user's transmit power to interference channel states to secure primary users' communication. Thus, we propose a practical power control scheme for secondary transmitters. The feedback overhead of our proposed scheme is insignificant because it requires one-bit signaling, while the optimal power control scheme requires the perfect information of channel states. In addition, the proposed scheme is robust to feedback delay. We compare the performance of the optimal and proposed schemes in terms of primary user's outage probability and secondary user's throughput. Our simulation results show that the proposed scheme is almost optimal in terms of both primary user's outage probability and secondary user's throughput when the secondary user's transmit power is low. As the secondary user's transmit power increases, the primary user's outage probability of the proposed scheme is degraded compared with the optimal scheme while the secondary user's throughput still approaches that of the optimal scheme. If the feedback delay is considered, however, the proposed scheme approaches the optimal scheme in terms of both the primary user's outage probability and secondary user's throughput regardless of the secondary user's transmit power.

Although underlay spectrum sharing has been shown as a promising technique to promote the spectrum utilization in cognitive radio networks (CRNs), it may suffer bad secondary performance due to the strict power constraints imposed at secondary systems and the interference from primary systems. In this paper, we propose a two-phase based cooperative transmission protocol with the interference cancellation (IC) and best-relay selection to improve the secondary performance in underlay models under stringent power constraints while ensuring the primary quality-of-service (QoS). In the proposed protocol, IC is employed at both the secondary relays and the secondary destination, where the IC-based best-relay selection and cooperative relaying schemes are well developed to reduce the interference from primary systems. The closed-form expression of secondary outage probability is derived for the proposed protocol over Rayleigh fading channels. Simulation results show that, with a guaranteed primary outage probability, the proposed protocol can achieve not only lower secondary outage probability but also higher secondary diversity order than the traditional underlay case.

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.

Spectrum sensing plays an important role in spectrum sharing. Energy detection is generally used because it does not require a priori knowledge of primary user (PU) signals; however, it is sensitive to noise uncertainty. An order statistics (OS) detector provides inherent protection against nonhomogeneous background signals. However, no analysis has been conducted yet to apply OS detection to spectrum sensing in a wireless channel to solve noise uncertainty. In this paper, we propose a robust spectrum sensing scheme based on generalized order statistics (GOS) and analyze the exact false alarm and detection probabilities under noise uncertainty. From the equation of the exact false alarm probability, the threshold value is calculated to maintain a constant false alarm rate. The detection probability is obtained from the calculated threshold under noise uncertainty. As a fusion rule for cooperative spectrum sensing, we adopt an OR rule, that is, a 1-out-of-N rule, and we call the proposed scheme GOS-OR. The analytical results show that the GOS-OR scheme can achieve optimum performance and maintain the desired false alarm rates if the coefficients of the GOS-OR detector can be correctly selected.

In this paper, we propose a cooperative multi-relay scheme for a secondary system to achieve spectrum access along with a primary system. In the primary network, a primary transmitter (PT) transmits the primary signal to a primary receiver (PR). In the secondary network, N secondary transmitter-receiver pairs (ST-SR) selected by a centralized control unit (CCU) are ready to assist the primary network. In particular, in the first time slot, PT broadcasts the primary signal to PR, which is also received by STs and SRs. At STs, the primary signal is regenerated and linearly combined with the secondary signal by assigning fractions of the available power to the primary and secondary signals respectively. The combined signal is then broadcasted by STs in a predetermined order. In order to achieve diversity gain, STs, SRs and PT will combine received replicas of the primary signal, using selection combining technique (SC). We derive the exact outage probability for the primary network as well as the secondary network. The simulation results are presented to verify the theoretical analyses.

인지 통신 네트워크에서 1차 송신단과 수신단 사이의 신호 대 잡음 비가 높을 경우 1차 네트워크의 수신 품질이 우수함으로 네트워크 간 지속적인 협력을 요구하지 않는다. 그러므로 협력을 필요로 하는 2차 시스템(보조)에게 스펙트럼을 제공하지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 간섭이 존재하지 않을 때 스펙트럼 공유의 빈도를 연구하였다. 또한 인지네트워크의 1차 시스템은 2차 시스템(보조)으로 인해 신호 대 잡음 비가 낮아지게 되며 이로 인한 스펙트럼 공유의 빈도의 증가에 초점을 맞추었다. 모의실험 및 이론적 결과를 바탕으로 기존의 기법에 비해 제안된 기법 스펙트럼 효율향상을 증명한다.

본 논문에서는, NACK 메시지가 스펙트럼 공유와 협력을 위한 명령으로 사용되어지는 방법을 제안하였다. 1차 사용자의 직접 연결이 중단될 때, 협력과 공유의 자동 반복을 허가하고, 패러다임 기반의 협력 스펙트럼 공유의 조정 메시지의 수를 절약하기 위해 허가한다. 공유 시, ${\alpha}$의 남은 전력 부분이 1차 재전송 신호인 동안, 2차 전송된 신호를 위한 $1-{\alpha}$ 전력 부분은 중계기 공유로 선택된다. 중계기를 사용하지 않는 경우, 1차 송신단은 전체 전력($1-{\alpha}$)를 사용하여 신호를 재전송 하기 위해 NACK를 사용한다. 두 시스템은 BPSK 신호를 적용한 것으로 가정한다. 이 기법에서, 2차 사용자는 공동 최적화 복호를 하는 것으로 제안한다. 프레임 오류율(FER) 성능은 양 시스템에서 분석된다. 이론과 시뮬레이션 결과는 본 프로토콜의 유효성을 분석하고 효율적임을 확인하였다.

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.
