In cognitive radio (CR) networks, cooperative spectrum sensing is utilized to improve the
sensing performance to avoid potential interference to primary users (PUs) and increase …

Cooperative spectrum sensing may cause a high sensing overhead to secondary users
(SUs) and induce much interference to primary users (PUs) due to detection result reporting …

The performance of cooperative spectrum sensing depends on the sensing time, the
reporting time of transmitting sensing results, and the fusion scheme. While longer sensing …

Cooperative spectrum sensing is a key technology of cognitive radio networks (CRNs) to the
reliability of spectrum sensing but is prone to be affected by a series of user characteristics …

In designing cognitive radio networks (CRNs), protecting the license holders from harmful
interference while maintaining acceptable quality-of-service (QoS) levels for the secondary …

Typically, each cooperative spectrum sensing process requires two phases: the primary
user's signal detection phase, in which all cognitive users attempt to detect the presence of …

Although cooperative spectrum sensing improves sensing accuracy in cognitive radio
systems, additional reporting time is required to report the local test statistics until the …

In this paper, we consider the problem of cooperative spectrum sensing scheduling (C3S) in
a cognitive radio network (CRN) when there exist multiple primary channels. Our work …

In this paper we propose a soft-hard combination scheme, called SHC scheme, for
cooperative spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks. The SHC scheme deploys a …

Reporting channels are essential for implementing cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) in
cognitive radio technology. In this paper, a novel decentralized CSS scheme capable of …
