Cognitive radio (CR) is the enabling technology for supporting dynamic spectrum access:
the policy that addresses the spectrum scarcity problem that is encountered in many …

Spectrum sensing is a key function of cognitive radio to prevent the harmful interference with
licensed users and identify the available spectrum for improving the spectrum's utilization …

A comprehensive performance analysis of the energy detector over fading channels with
single antenna reception or with antenna diversity reception is developed. For the no …

In recent years, the security issues of the cognitive radio (CR) networks have drawn a lot of
research attentions. Primary user emulation attack (PUEA), as one of common attacks …

This paper proposes efficient cooperative cyclostationary spectrum sensing schemes in
which each secondary-user (SU) performs single-cycle (SC) cyclostationary detection for …

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 …

Spectrum sensing is the key mechanism in enabling spectrum awareness in Cognitive
Radio. The performance of the spectrum sensing depends on the local channel conditions …

We propose a novel cooperative spectrum sensing algorithm for a cognitive radio (CR)
network to detect a primary user (PU) network that exhibits some degree of randomness in …

In this paper, we consider cooperative spectrum sensing when two secondary users (SUs)
collaborate via the relaying scheme. We investigate two cooperative sensing strategies, ie …

In this paper, we study the distributed spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks. Using
weighted average consensus algorithm, we develop a weighted soft measurement …
