Introduction Cognitive Radio (CR) Provides effective solution for opportunistic access to unused licenced spectrum bands. CR allows secondary users (SU) to utilize the free portions of licensed spectrum while ensuring no interference to primary users (PU) transmissions. Contributions Proposed Adaptive Double-Threshold Based Energy and Matched Filter Detector for Cognitive Radio Networks. Employing energy efficient Energy Detector and reliable Matched Filter Detector.

Introduction Cognitive Radio Network CR provide high level of protection to the primary users (PU) from secondary users (SU). In CSS, the fusion centre collects the local decisions of the SUs and makes the final decision to ascertain whether the PU is present or not.

Energy Detector (ED) ED is a non-coherent detection device with low implementation complexity and is more power efficient. ED performance is highly degraded under noise uncertainty condition. The expression for pfa and pd for ED can be given as where, Fx is cumulative distribution function of standard chi-square random variable. Q is generalized Marcum-Q function. is threshold for the ED. is the variance.

Matched Filter (MF) where MF is a reliable detector but consumes high amount of power. MF works using receivers bank of L matched filters, which runs together to correlate the incoming signals. The expression for pfa and pd for MF can be given as where Fx is cumulative distribution function of standard chi-square random variable. Q is generalized Marcum-Q function. is threshold for the MF.

Related Works (1/2) A censoring method using double threshold based on ED was proposed in [9]. If the detected observational energy values (Oi) by the SU lies in the confused region, they will not report to the fusion center. This method can reduce the sensing time but causes sensing failure problem. [9] Chunhua Sun, Wei Zhang, and Khaled Letaief. Cooperative spectrum sensing for cognitive radios under bandwidth constraints. In Wireless Communications and Networking Conference, 2007. WCNC 2007. IEEE, pages 1–5. IEEE, 2007.

Related Works (2/2) [10] also proposed a method using double threshold based on ED to increase the detection performance as compared to the conventional ED. If the Oi lies in the confused region then the SU will forward it to the fusion center (FC). The FC will make overall decision by considering the local decision of SU of clear region and comparing the Oi of confused region with another threshold value of ED.

Algorithm- Adaptive Double-Threshold Based Energy and Matched Filter Detector Method

Proposed Algorithm Explanation The observational value Oi of SU is checked with the threshold values and of ED and the decision will be taken accordingly. If Oi satisfies then no decision will be taken and SU will forward its Oi to the fusion center.

Proposed Algorithm Explanation We assume that fusion center FC receives K local decisions out of N SUs. The fusion center will now apply more reliable MF on those N-K observational values of the signal for the decision process. The decision D at the FC using the MF detector on N-K Oi is

Proposed Algorithm Explanation The FC has the local decision Li of K SUs using ED and decision D of N-K SUs using MF. Let us denote the total decision at FC by Z. Then The final mathematical expression of hypothesis at the FC can be written as

Cooperative Probability of Detection and Miss-Detection The cooperative probability of detection Qd of the FC using OR rule is given as where u is the time bandwidth product. is probability of No Decision under Hypothesis H1. The cooperative probability of miss-detection Qm of the FC is given by

Cooperative Probability of False Alarm The cooperative probability of False Alarm Qf of the FC using OR rule is given as where, u is the time bandwidth product. is probability of No Decision under Hypothesis H0.
