Since wireless network virtualization enables abstraction and sharing of infrastructure and
radio spectrum resources, the overall expenses of wireless network deployment and …

Both cognitive radio and femtocell have been considered as promising techniques in
wireless networks. However, most of previous works are focused on spectrum sharing and …

The Byzantine attack in cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS), also known as the spectrum
sensing data falsification (SSDF) attack in the literature, is one of the key adversaries to the …

Internet of things (IoT) paradigm poses new challenges to the communication technology as
numerous heterogeneous objects will need to be connected. To address these issues new …

In this survey, we present a comprehensive list of major known security threats within a
cognitive radio network (CRN) framework. We classify attack techniques based on the type …

The distinctive features of mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), including dynamic topology
and open wireless medium, may lead to MANETs suffering from many security …

Resources in cognitive radio networks (CRNs) should dynamically be allocated according to
the sensed radio environment. Although some work has been done for dynamic resource …

Recent research activities on cognitive radio (CR) have mainly focussed on opportunistic
spectrum access and spectrum utilization. However, CR technology will have a significant …

In order to mitigate the shortage of wireless spectrum, the appealing concepts of cooperative
communication techniques and cognitive radio (CR) networks have been combined for the …
