In order to achieve accurate interference detection in complex electromagnetic environments, a two-step cooperative stochastic resonance energy detection (TCSRED) algorithm is proposed to address the problem, where the traditional energy detection (ED) performance is susceptible to noise uncertainty. By combining two thresholds and two-step cooperation, the generalized stochastic resonance is applied to the energy detection, which effectively reduces the complexity and detection time. In particular, when a certain decision result is obtained in the first step of detection, the decision is finished and the second step of detection is unnecessary. Otherwise, the second step of detection is performed to obtain the final decision result. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is robust to the noise uncertainty. Even in the case of a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), it also performs better than existing methods without significant increment of the complexity.

The energy detection process for enabling opportunistic spectrum access in dynamic primary user (PU) scenarios, where PU changes state from active to inactive at random time instances, requires the estimation of several parameters ranging from noise variance and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to instantaneous and average PU activity. A prerequisite to parameter estimation is an accurate extraction of the signal and noise samples in a received signal time frame. In this paper, we propose a low-complexity and accurate signal samples detection algorithm as compared to well-known methods, which is also blind to the PU activity distribution. The proposed algorithm is analyzed in a semi-experimental simulation setup for its accuracy and time complexity in recognizing signal and noise samples, and its use in channel occupancy estimation, under varying occupancy and SNR of the PU signal. The results confirm its suitability for acquiring the necessary information on the dynamic behavior of PU, which is otherwise assumed to be known in the literature.

The traditional energy detection algorithm has been widely used in the field of signal detection, and a variety of improved algorithms have been derived. In the case of low signal-to-noise ratio, existing methods have shortcomings on achieving fast and accurate spectrum sensing that need to be resolved. This work proposes a normalized-variance-detection method based on compression sensing measurements of received signal. The discrete cosine transform sensing matrix is used to compress the signal, whose normalized variance is then calculated before being used as the testing variable for detecting the primary user signal. Taking the detection results as historical data into consideration, the classification model is obtained after training by applying a support vector machine for classifying and predicting test signals. Simulation results show that the proposed method outperforms the current state-of-the-art approaches by achieving faster and more accurate spectrum occupancy decisions.

Noisy Signals

In sensing systems, nodes must be able to rapidly detect whether a signal from a primary transmitter is present in a certain spectrum. However, traditional energy-detection algorithms are poorly adapted to treating noisy signals. In this paper, we investigate how rapid energy detection and detection sensitivity are related to detection duration and average power fluctuation in noise. The results indicate that detection performance and detection sensitivity decrease quickly with increasing average power fluctuation in noise and are worse in situations with low signal-to-noise ratio. First, we present a dynamic threshold algorithm based on energy detection to suppress the influence of noise fluctuation and improve the sensing sensitivity. Then, we present a new energy-detection algorithm based on cooperation between nodes. Simulations show that the proposed scheme improves the resistance to average power fluctuation in noise for short detection timescales and provides sensitive detection that improves with increasing numbers of cooperative detectors. In other words, the proposed scheme enhances the ability to overcome noise and improves spectrum sensing performance.

Noise uncertainty and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) wall are two very serious problems in spectrum sensing of cognitive radio (CR) networks, which restrict the applications of some conventional spectrum sensing methods especially under low SNR circumstances. In this study, an optimal dynamic stochastic resonance (SR) processing method is introduced to improve the SNR of the receiving signal under certain conditions. By using the proposed method, the SNR wall can be enhanced and the sampling complexity can be reduced, accordingly the noise uncertainty of the received signal can also be decreased. Based on the well-studied overdamped bistable SR system, the theoretical analyses and the computer simulations verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach. It can extend the application scenes of the conventional energy detection especially under some serious wireless conditions especially low SNR circumstances such as deep wireless signal fading, signal shadowing and multipath fading.

Sensing Performance

In order to improve an efficiency of energy detection for a spectrum sensing in cognitive radio (CR), this paper proposes a dynamic threshold optimization algorithm. The traditional energy detection algorithm uses a fixed threshold, and can't guarantee always the optimal sensing performance in any environment. The improvement for sensing performance need to minimize the undetected probability and the probability of false alarm, and it is dissimilar for different CR users to accept these two errors. We improve the traditional energy detection algorithm, and firstly introduce a preference factor to characterize CR users’ different requirements for these two errors, then, propose a dynamic threshold optimization algorithm by minimizing integrated detection error for different signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm effectively reduces the integrated spectrum sensing error, and increases the probability of detection, especially in low SNR.

In cognitive radio networks, nodes should have the capability to decide whether a signal from a primary transmitter is locally present or not in a certain spectrum within a short detection period. Traditional spectrum sensing schemes based on fixed threshold are sensitive to noise uncertainty, a fractional fluctuate of average noise power in a short time can lead the performance of spectrum detection drop seriously. This paper presents a new spectrum detection algorithm based on dynamic threshold. Theoretical results show that the proposed scheme debate the noise uncertainty, and good detection performance can be gained, if suitable dynamic threshold is chosen. In other words, the proposed scheme can enhance the robustness against noise and improve the capacity of spectrum sensing.

Traditional energy detection algorithm is bad in anti-noise. In this paper, the relationship of energy detection performance and detection sensitivity with average noise power fluctuation in short time is investigated. Detection sensitivity drops quickly with the increment of average noise power fluctuation and becomes worse in low signal-to-noise ratio. To the characteristic, a new energy detection algorithm based on dynamic threshold is presented. Theoretic results and simulations show that the proposed scheme removes the falling proportion of performance and detection sensitivity caused by the average noise power fluctuation with a choice threshold, and also improves the antagonism of the average noise power fluctuation in short time and obtains a good performance. Detection sensitivity and performance improves as the dynamic threshold factor increasing.

<p class="IJASEITAbtract"><span>Spectrum decision is an important and crucial task for the secondary user to avail the unlicensed spectrum for transmission. Managing the spectrum is an efficient one for spectrum sensing. Determining the primary user presence in the spectrum is an essential work for using the licensed spectrum of primary user. The information which lacks in managing the spectrum are the information about the primary user presence, accuracy in determining the existence of user in the spectrum, the cost for computation and difficult in finding the user in low signal-to noise ratio (SNR) values. The proposed system overcomes the above limitations. In the proposed system, the various techniques of machine learning like decision tree, support vector machines, naive bayes, ensemble based trees, nearest neighbour’s and logistic regression are used for testing the algorithm. As a first step, the spectrum sensing is done in two stages with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing and Energy Detection algorithm at the various values of SNR. The results generated from the above algorithm is used for database generation. Next, the different machine learning techniques are trained and compared for the results produced by different algorithms with the characteristics like speed, time taken for training and accuracy in prediction. The accuracy and finding the presence of the user in the spectrum at low SNR values are achieved by all the algorithms. The computation cost of the algorithm differs from each other. Among the tested techniques, k-nearest neighbour (KNN) algorithm produces the better performance in a minimized time.</span></p>
