Detection Reliability and Throughput Analysis for Cooperative Spectrum Sensing in Cognitive Radio Networks

Abstract:

In cognitive radio networks (CRNs), cooperative spectrum sensing technology could overcome the impact from shadow fading and noise uncertainty; however, cognitive radio users with different signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) would cause the unreliable detection performance when making a decision in the information fusion center. Therefore, a novel cooperative spectrum sensing scheme which focus on the reliability of cognitive radio users is presented. The proposed approach does not select all of the cognitive radio users but the ones whose SNR is beyond the average SNR of the whole users for high reliability. Moreover, the detection and throughput performance is investigated. Simulation results illustrate this approach could enhances the detection probability by comparing to the conventional cooperative algorithm. Besides, it also could lead to higher throughput within a short spectrum sensing time.
