▼ With the rapid proliferation of new wireless communication devices and services, the demand for the radio spectrum is increasing at a rapid rate, which leads to making the spectrum more and more crowded. The limited available spectrum and the inefficiency in the spectrum usage have led to the emergence of cognitive radio (CR) and dynamic spectrum access (DSA) technologies, which enable future wireless communication systems to exploit the empty spectrum in an opportunistic manner. To do so, future wireless devices should be aware of their surrounding radio environment in order to adapt their operating parameters according to the real-time conditions of the radio environment. From this viewpoint, spectrum sensing is becoming increasingly important to new and future wireless communication systems, which is designed to monitor the usage of the radio spectrum and reliably identify the unused bands to enable wireless devices to switch from one vacant band to another, thereby achieving flexible, reliable, and efficient spectrum utilisation. This thesis focuses on issues related to local and cooperative spectrum sensing for CR networks, which need to be resolved. These include the problems of noise uncertainty and detection in low signal to noise ratio (SNR) environments in individual spectrum sensing. In addition to issues of energy consumption, sensing delay and reporting error in cooperative spectrum sensing. In this thesis, we investigate how to improve spectrum sensing algorithms to increase their detection performance and achieving energy efficiency. To this end, first, we propose a new spectrum sensing algorithm based on energy detection that increases the reliability of individual spectrum sensing. In spite of the fact that the energy detection is still the most common detection mechanism for spectrum sensing due to its simplicity. Energy detection does not require any prior knowledge of primary signals, but has the drawbacks of threshold selection, and poor performance due to noise uncertainty especially at low SNR. Therefore, a new adaptive optimal energy detection algorithm (AOED) is presented in this thesis. In comparison with the existing energy detection schemes the detection performance achieved through AOED algorithm is higher. Secondly, as cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) can give further improvement in the detection reliability, the AOED algorithm is extended to cooperative sensing; in which multiple cognitive users collaborate to detect the primary transmission. The new combined approach (AOED and CSS) is shown to be more reliable detection than the individual detection scheme, where the hidden terminal problem can be mitigated. Furthermore, an optimal fusion strategy for hard-fusion based cognitive radio networks is presented, which optimises sensing performance. Thirdly, the need for denser deployment of base stations to satisfy the estimated high traffic demand in future wireless networks leads to a significant increase in energy consumption. Moreover, in large-scale cognitive radio networks some of…

▼ In this thesis, the
spectrum and energy efficiency of
cooperative spectrum prediction (CSP) in cognitive radio networks are investigated. In addition, the performance of CSP is evaluated using a hidden Markov model (HMM) and a multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural network. The cooperation between secondary users in predicting the next channel status employs AND, OR and majority rule fusion schemes. These schemes are compared for HMM and MLP predictors as a function of channel occupancy in terms of prediction error,
spectrum efficiency and energy efficiency. The impact of busy and idle state prediction errors on the
spectrum efficiency is determined. Further, the
spectrum efficiency is compared for different numbers of primary users (PUs).
Simulation results are presented which show a significant improvement in the
spectrum efficiency using CSP with the majority rule at the cost of a small degradation in energy efficiency compared to single
spectrum prediction (SSP) and traditional
spectrum sensing (TSS). The HMM predictor provides better performance than the MLP predictor. Moreover, the total probability of prediction error with the majority rule provides the best performance compared to SSP and the other fusion rules. On the other hand, the AND and OR rules have the worst performance in the high and low traffic cases, respectively. The majority rule provides a good tradeoff between busy and idle state prediction errors compared with the AND and OR rules and SSP. Further, a reduction in the busy state prediction error increases the SE more compared to a reduction in the idle state prediction error.

▼ Dynamic spectrum access (DSA) is a promising solution
for mitigating the problem of crowded radio spectrum and enhancing
the utilization efficiency of spectrum resources, making it a hot
research topic. In DSA, spectrum sensing is crucial and cooperative
spectrum sensing (CSS) is confirmed as a promising technology that
can combat the wireless channel fading problem. Most current works
have assumed that secondary users (SUs) are synchronous with the
primary users’ (PUs) network. However, on one hand, the SUs may not
have information about the PUs’ communication protocols. On the
other hand, communications among PUs are not based on synchronous
operation in some systems. In order to address such problems, an
asynchronous CSS scheme is proposed. Based on this scheme, the
DYWAMIT, a contention-based wideband DSA algorithm, is proposed.
Performance analysis and simulations are conducted to evaluate the
proposed scheme and algorithm. Some important future research
challenges are highlighted.

▼ We have witnessed a massive growth in wireless data, which almost doubles every year. The wireless data is expected to skyrocket further in the future due to the proliferation of devices and the emerging data-hungry applications. To accommodate the explosive growth in mobile traffic, a large amount of wireless spectrum is needed. With the limited spectrum resource, the current static spectrum allocation policy cannot serve well for future wireless systems. Moreover, it exacerbates the spectrum scarcity by resulting in severe spectrum underutilization. As a promising solution, dynamic spectrum access (DSA) is envisaged to increase spectrum efficiency by dynamic sharing all the spectrum. DSA can be enabled by cognitive radio technologies, which allow the unlicensed users (the secondary users, i.e., SUs) to dynamically access the unused spectrum (i.e., spectrum holes) owned by the licensed users (the primary users i.e., PUs). In order to identify the unused spectrum (spectrum holes), unlicensed users need to conduct spectrum sensing. While spectrum sensing might be inaccurate due to multipath fading and shadowing. To address this problem, user cooperation can be leveraged, with two main forms: cooperative spectrum sensing and cooperative cognitive radio networking (CCRN). For the former, SUs cooperate with each other in spectrum sensing to better detect the spectrum holes. For the latter, SUs cooperate with the PUs to gain access opportunities from the PUs by improving the transmission performance of the PUs.
Whereas cooperation can also incur security issues, e.g., malicious users might participate into cooperation, corrupting or disrupting the communication of legitimate users, selfish users might refuse to contribute to cooperation for self-interests, etc. Those security issues are of great importance and need to be considered for cooperation in DSA. In this thesis, we study security-aware cooperation in DSA. First, we investigate cooperative spectrum sensing in multi-channel scenario such that a user can be scheduled for spectrum sensing and spectrum sharing. The cooperative framework can achieve a higher average throughput per user, which provides the incentive for selfish users to participate in cooperative spectrum sensing. Second, secure communication in CCRN is studied, where the SUs cooperate with the PU to enhance the latter’s communication security and then gain transmission opportunities. Partner selection, spectrum access time allocation, and power allocation are investigated. Third, we study risk aware cooperation based DSA for the multiple channel scenario, where multiple SUs cooperate with multiple PUs for spectrum access opportunities, considering the trustworthiness of SUs. Lastly, we propose an incentive mechanism to stimulate SUs to cooperate with PUs when they have no traffic. The cooperating SUs are motivated to cooperate with PUs to enhance the security of the PUs by accumulating credits and then consume the earned credits for spectrum trading when they have traffic in the future.

▼ Cognitive Radio (CR) aims to access the wireless spectrum in an opportunistic manner while the licensed user is not using it. To accurately determine the licensed user's existence, spectrum sensing procedure is vital to CR system. Energy detection-based spectrum sensing techniques is favourable due to its simplicity and low complexity. In addition, to improve the detection performance, cooperative spectrum sensing technique exploits multi-user diversity and mitigates detection uncertainty. In this thesis, we investigate several energy detection based cooperative spectrum sensing techniques.First, the closed-form analysis for the Equal Gain Combining based Soft Decision Combining (EGC-SDC) scheme, in which all CR users forward its observation to the fusion center, is derived. In order to reduce the communication overhead between CR users and the fusion center, we proposed quantized cooperative spectrum sensing technique, in which CR users quantize its local observation before forwarding to the fusion center. Next, the Double Threshold scheme, where some users only forward its local decision while other users forward its observation, is considered and analyzed. To further reduce the communication overhead, we also proposed that quantization is applied to the users who forward its observation. Later on, three sequential cooperative spectrum sensing schemes in time-varying channel are considered. By aggregating past local observations from previous sensing slots, CR users can improve the detection performance. The Weighted Sequential Energy Detector (SED) scheme simply takes fixed number of past local observations, while the other two schemes, Two-Stage SED and Differential SED, adaptively determine the number of observations, based on its decision towards primary user's existence.Simulation results show that the analysis on EGC-SDC scheme is accurate and the quantized cooperative spectrum sensing technique can improve the performance and approach the detection performance of EGC-SDC scheme with much less bandwidth requirement. Also, the Double Threshold scheme can help improve the detection performance over the conventional technique. Furthermore, the analysis on Double Threshold provides a closed-form for the probability of false alarm and detection. Additionally, the sequential spectrum sensing schemes are shown to improve the detection performance and enable CR system to work in scenarios that the conventional technique can not accommodate.

▼ Designing an energy efficient
cooperative spectrum sensing for cognitive radio network
is our main research objective in this dissertation. Two different approaches are
employed to achieve the goal, clustering and minimizing the number of participating
cognitive radio users in the
cooperative process. First, using clustering technique, a multilevel
hierarchical cluster-based structure
spectrum sensing algorithm has been proposed
to tackle the balance between cooperation gain and cost by combining two different
fusion rules and exploiting the tree structure of the cluster. The algorithm considerably
minimizes the reporting overhead while satisfying the detection requirements. Second,
based on reducing the number of participating cognitive radio users, primary user
protection is considered to develop an energy efficient algorithm for cluster-based
cooperative spectrum sensing system. An iterative algorithm with low complexity has
been proposed to design energy efficient
spectrum sensing for cluster-based
cooperative
systems. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can significantly minimize
the number of contributing of cognitive radio users in the collaboration process and can
compromise the performance gain and the incurred overhead. Moreover, a variable
sensing window size is also considered to propose three novel strategies for energy
efficient centralized
cooperative spectrum sensing system using the three hard decision
fusion rules. The results show that strategies remarkably increase the energy efficiency of
the
cooperative system; furthermore, it is shown optimality of k out of N rule over other
two hard decision fusion rules. Finally, joint optimization of transmission power and
sensing time for a single cognitive radio is considered. An iterative algorithm with low
computational requirements has been proposed to jointly optimize power and
sensing
time to maximize the energy efficiency metric. Computer results have shown that the
proposed algorithm outperforms those existing works in the literature.

▼ Cognitive radios have been proposed to address the dual problem of spectrum under-utilization and the need for vast swathes of new spectrum in the 0-3GHz band for wireless data services. Previous research in the area of cognitive radios has concentrated on signal processing (SP) innovations for improved detection with a limited number of samples (a.k.a detection sensitivity). However the SP perspective alone is unable to recover much unused spectrum. In this thesis we focus on two fronts to maximize the recovery of unused spectrum. First, we take a spatial perspective on spectrum usage. Second, we will look at advanced algorithms which use other radios and frequencies to aid the detection process.The spatial perspective is necessitated by the FCC's decision to open up TV bands for ‘white space’/opportunistic spectrum use. Examination of the FCC's choice of parameters reveals the political and engineering tradeoffs made by the FCC. The FCC's rules applied to the database of TV transmitters and the population density of the United States as per the census of 2000 reveal that the geo-location rules enable an average of 9 white space channels per person. This number does not change significantly even if the secondaries take a purely selfish approach and operate only where the pollution from TV transmitters is low. The corresponding political tradeoff sacrifices 1 people-channel for broadcast use to gain 8 people-channels for white space use. Spectrum sensing is another mechanism to recover the available opportunity. Here, the FCC's sensing rule of -114dBm is very conservative and yields only a average of 1 white space channel per person. This spatial analysis points to the inability of traditional detection metrics in predicting the spatial performance of sensing. To overcome this problem, we propose the twin metrics of Fear of Harmful Interference (FHI) and Weighted Probability of Area Recovered (WPAR) to quantify the performance of sensing relative to geo-location. Fear of Harmful interference (FHI), captures the safety to the primary users and is largely the fading-aware probability of missed detection with modifications to allow easier incorporation of system-level uncertainty. Weighted Probability of Area Recovered (WPAR), captures the performance of spectrum sensing by appropriately weighting the probability of false alarm (PFA) across different spatial locations. These metrics give a unifying framework in which to compare different spectrum-sensing algorithms. Reasonable parameters for this metric (most crucially, something which can be interpreted as a spatial discount factor) are obtained from the TV database and US population data. Cooperative Sensing, in which secondaries use sensing results from multiple nearby radios to decide on whether the band is free to use, has been proposed as a mechanism to improve the performance over a single radio. However, the motivation for using cooperative sensing is different for recovering a temporal as opposed to…

▼ Cognitive radio system has become a better way to improve the efficiency of
spectrum usage. In cognitive radio,
spectrum sensing plays a key role. However, the secondary users cannot detect the existence of the primary due the shadowing effectãfading channelsãand multipath fading. To solve these problems,
cooperative spectrum sensing has been proposed. For the conventional
cooperative spectrum sensing system, when the number of the secondary users is large and environment exists noise uncertainty. The
sensing performance would be loss. It shown that conventional
cooperative spectrum sensing system seems not a good method.
ããIn this thesis, we combine the statistical covariance algorithms to the conventional double thresholds
cooperative energy detection and also proposed a method which can reduce the computation complexity for the hybrid detection. Simulation results show that, under the same false alarm probability, the proposed hybrid scheme achieves much better detection performance than conventional energy detection.

▼ In the last few years, there has been enormous improvement in mobile communication services. Due to this rapid growth in the field of communications, the demand for wireless spectrum has increased rapidly. In the early days in order to remove the interference problem, the spectrum was assigned statically. To assign the spectrum statically, the fixed spectrum assignment policy was used. Due to the fixed spectrum assignment policy, the spectrum was not efficiently utilized and remained vacant most of the time. The study by Federal Communications Commission (FCC) shows that the spectrum is available but its usage is not efficient. Such kind of spectrum inefficiency can be overcome by the use of Cognitive Radio. Cognitive Radio is a new technology that allows the secondary users (SUs) to use the spectrum whenever it is available. In this thesis, an Opportunistic Cognitive MAC Protocol (OC-MAC) has been proposed for the Cognitive Radio to access the unoccupied spectrum opportunistically and coexistence with the ad hoc Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). OC-MAC is a decentralized MAC protocol over Cognitive Radio network along with WLAN. In the OC-MAC protocol, there is a dedicated control channel over which the cognitive nodes compete with each other for the reservation of the data channel. The handshaking phenomenon for the reservation of data channels is performed on the control channel. After a selection of the appropriate data channel, when a secondary user starts using the data channel and the primary user claims it, the SU leaves the spectrum and moves to another available channel. The transmission of data by the secondary user is confirmed by receiving an acknowledgement. In this way secondary user utilizes the unused frequency spectrum while maintaining acceptable collision rate among secondary users and between secondary users and primary users. All simulation scenarios are developed in OPNET v14.5 Network simulator and simulation results are collected for different scenarios; under light and heavy traffic to check the performance of the OC-MAC protocol.

▼ The successful implementation and employment of various cognitive radio services are largely dependent on the
spectrum sensing performance of the cognitive radio terminals. Previous works on detection of cognitive radio have suggested the necessity of user cooperation in order to be able to detect at low signal-to-noise ratios experienced in practical situations. This report provides a brief overview of the impact of different fusion strategies on the
spectrum hole detection performance of a fusion center in a distributed detection environment. Different decision or detection rule and fusion strategies, like single sensor scenario, counting rule, and linear decision metric, were used to analyze their influence on the
spectrum sensing performance of the cognitive radio network. We consider a system of cognitive radio users who cooperate with each other in trying to detect licensed transmissions. Assuming that the cooperating nodes use identical energy detectors, we model the received signals as correlated log-normal random variables and study the problem of fusing the decisions made by the individual nodes. The cooperating radios were assumed to be designed in such a way that they satisfy the interference probability constraint individually. The interference probability constraint was also met at the fusion center. The simulation results strongly suggests that even when the observations at the individual sensors are moderately correlated, it is important not to ignore the correlation between the nodes for fusing the local decisions made by the secondary users. The thesis mainly focuses on the performance measurement of linear decision combiner in detecting primary users in a cognitive radio network.

▼ Cognitive Radio (CR) came as a solution to mitigate challenges that wireless body area networks (WBANs) suffer from. CR is an intelligence-based technology that senses, observes, and learns from its operating environment to access licensed bands in the spectrum when they are not being utilized by primary users. Deploying a CR technology in WBANs applications, enhances spectrum scalability, increases system robustness, and decreases latency. Accordingly, CR-WBANs help in building a more efficient and reliable ubiquitous healthcare system than conventional WBANs do. However, CR-WBANs are still evolving, and many challenges need to be investigated, in particular, is how to acquire a channel and prioritize data streams among multiple CR-users (i.e., multiple patients) based on the severity of their health status, in a manner to decrease network latency and increase network scalability. To address this challenge, this work proposes a novel intelligent channel acquisition model for multiple CR-WBANs within ubiquitous healthcare system, whereby contextual data, namely, channel properties, intra-node characteristics, and patients’ profile information, is integrated in channel acquisition decision process. The proposed work is a multi-stage fusion system that is composed of local and global decisions units. A fuzzy logic system is utilized to make decisions in the local unit, which are sensing the channel availability and assessing the severity of patients' health status. Moreover, a neural network is employed as a global sensing decision center, whereby local sensing decisions, channel properties, and intra-node characteristics are augmented in the decision process. Furthermore, a cluster-based heuristic algorithm is formulated, in the global decision unit, to prioritize data streams among CR-users based on the criticality of their health conditions (i.e., acute, urgent, and normal). Patients' local health assessments and avatars (e.g., age, medical history, etc.) are exploited in the prioritization process.
Subjects/Keywords: channel acquisition.; hybrid cooperative spectrum sensing.; data transmission prioritization.; fuzzy logic.; neural network.; spectrum sensing accuracy; probability of channel acquisition.

▼ Cognitive radio (CR) is regarded as a viable solution to enabling flexible use of the frequency
spectrum in future generations of wireless systems by allowing unlicensed secondary users (SU) to access licensed
spectrum under the specific condition that no harmful interference be caused to the licensed primary users (PU) of the
spectrum. In practical scenarios, the knowledge of PU activity is unknown to CRs and radio environments are mostly imperfect due to various issues such as noise uncertainty and multipath fadings. Therefore, important functionalities of CR systems are to efficiently detect availability of radio
spectrum as well as to avoid generating interference to PUs, by missing detection of active PU signals.
Typically, CR systems are expected to be equipped with smart capabilities which include
sensing, adapting, learning, and awareness concerned with
spectrum opportunity access, radio environments, and wireless communications operations, such that SUs equipped with CRs can efficiently utilize
spectrum opportunities with high quality of services. Most existing researches working on CR focus on improving
spectrum sensing through performance measures such as the probabilities of PU detection and false alarm but none of them explicitly studies the improvement in the actual
spectrum utilization. Motivated by this perspective, the main objective of the dissertation is to explore new techniques on the physical layer of dynamic CR systems, that can enhance actual utilization of
spectrum opportunities and awareness on the performance of CR systems.
Specifically, this dissertation investigates utilization of
spectrum opportunities in dynamic scenarios, where a licensed radio
spectrum is available for limited time and also analyzes how it is affected by various parameters. The dissertation proposes three new methods for adaptive
spectrum sensing which improve dynamic utilization of idle radio
spectrum as well as the detection of active PUs in comparison to the conventional method with fixed
spectrum sensing size. Moreover, this dissertation presents a new approach for optimizing
cooperative spectrum sensing performance and also proposes the use of hidden Markov models (HMMs) to enabling performance awareness for local and
cooperative spectrum sensing schemes, leading to improved
spectrum utilization. All the contributions are illustrated with numerical results obtained from extensive simulations which confirm their effectiveness for practical applications.

▼ The motivation behind the cognitive radio networks (CRNs) is rooted in scarcity of the radio spectrum and inefficiency of its management to meet the ever increasing high quality of service demands. Furthermore, information and communication technologies have limited and/or expensive energy resources and contribute significantly to the global carbon footprint. To alleviate these issues, energy efficient and energy harvesting (EEH) CRNs can harvest the required energy from ambient renewable sources while collecting the necessary bandwidth by discovering free spectrum for a minimized energy cost. Therefore, EEH-CRNs have potential to achieve green communications by enabling spectrum and energy self-sustaining networks. In this thesis, green cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) policies are considered for large scale heterogeneous CRNs which consist of multiple primary channels (PCs) and a large number of secondary users (SUs) with heterogeneous sensing and reporting channel qualities.
Firstly, a multi-objective clustering optimization (MOCO) problem is formulated from macro and micro perspectives; Macro perspective partitions SUs into clusters with the objectives: 1) Intra-cluster energy minimization of each cluster, 2) Intra-cluster throughput maximization of each cluster, and 3) Inter-cluster energy and throughput fairness. A multi-objective genetic algorithm, Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II), is adopted and demonstrated how to solve the MOCO. The micro perspective, on the other hand, works as a sub-procedure on cluster formations given by macro perspective. For the micro perspective, a multihop reporting based CH selection procedure is proposed to find: 1) The best CH which gives the minimum total multi-hop error rate, and 2) the optimal routing paths from SUs to the CHs using Dijkstra's algorithm. Using Poisson-Binomial distribution, a novel and generalized K-out-of-N voting rule is developed for heterogeneous CRNs to allow SUs to have different levels of local detection performance. Then, a convex optimization framework is established to minimize the intra-cluster energy cost subject to collision and spectrum utilization constraints.Likewise, instead of a common fixed sample size test, a weighted sample size test is considered for quantized soft decision fusion to obtain a more EE regime under heterogeneity.
Secondly, an energy and spectrum efficient CSS scheduling (CSSS) problem is investigated to minimize the energy cost per achieved data rate subject to collision and spectrum utilization constraints. The total energy cost is calculated as the sum of energy expenditures resulting from sensing, reporting and channel switching operations. Then, a mixed integer non-linear programming problem is formulated to determine: 1) The optimal scheduling subset of a large number of PCs which cannot be sensed at the same time, 2) The SU assignment set for each scheduled PC, and 3) Optimal sensing parameters of SUs on each PC. Thereafter, an equivalent convex framework is developed for specific instances of…

▼ Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) are a next generation network that is expected to solve the wireless
spectrum shortage problem, which is the shrinking of available wireless
spectrum resources needed to facilitate future wireless applications. The first CRN standard, the IEEE 802.22, addresses this particular problem by allowing CRNs to share geographically unused TV
spectrum to mitigate the
spectrum shortage. Equipped with reasoning and learning engines, cognitive radios operate autonomously to locate unused channels to maximize its own bandwidth and Quality-of-Service (QoS). However, their increased capabilities over traditional radios introduce a new dimension of security threats.
In an NSF 2009 workshop, the FCC raised the question, “What authentication mechanisms are needed to support
cooperative cognitive radio networks? Are reputation-based schemes useful supplements to conventional Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) authentication protocols?” Reputation-based schemes in cognitive radio networks are a popular technique for performing robust and accurate
spectrum sensing without any inter-communication with licensed networks, but the question remains on how effective they are at satisfying the FCC security requirements.
Our work demonstrates that trust-based
Cooperative Spectrum Sensing (CSS) protocols are vulnerable to rogue signals, which creates the illusion of inside attackers and raises the concern that such schemes are overly sensitive Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS). The erosion of the sensor reputations in trust-based CSS protocols makes CRNs vulnerable to future attacks. To counter this new threat, we introduce community detection and cluster analytics to detect and negate the impact of rogue signals on sensor reputations.

▼ The focus of this thesis is on
cooperative spectrum sensing and related security issues in multi-channel cognitive radio networks (MCCRNs). We first study the channel assignment for
cooperative spectrum sensing in MCCRNs to maximize the number of available channels. In centralized implementation, a heuristic scheme is proposed along with a greedy scheme to reduce the reported information from the cognitive radios (CRs). In distributed scenario, a novel scheme with multi-round operation is designed following the coalitional game theory. Next, we focus on the physical layer security issues for
cooperative spectrum sensing in MCCRNs, caused by Byzantine attacks. New counterattacks are proposed to combat attacks comprising coalition head and CRs as Byzantine attackers, which target to reduce the number of available channels for
sensing in distributed MCCRNs. First, a new secure coalition head selection is proposed, by using statistical properties of the exchanged SNRs in the coalitions. Then, an iterative algorithm is proposed to block out attackers, if they continue attacking the system. The important problem of key management is considered next, and an energy-efficient identity-based and a certificate-based distributed key management schemes are proposed. First, a new elliptic curve cryptography (ECC)-based distributed private key generation scheme is proposed to combat the single point of failure problem along with novel distributed private key generator (DPKG) selection schemes to preserve security and energy-efficiency. Because of its importance in the proposed identity-based key management scheme, we further propose a low-complexity DPKG assignment, based on multi-objective programming, which can capture DPKG fairness in addition to energy-efficiency. Finally, a more powerful and intelligent distributed
cooperative Byzantine attack on the proposed multi-channel
cooperative spectrum sensing is proposed, where attackers collude by applying coalitional game theory to maximize the number of invaded channels in a distributed manner. As a remedy, a hierarchical identity-based key management scheme is proposed, in which CRs can only play on a certain number of requested channels and channel access for
sensing is limited to the honest CRs selected in the coalitional game. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes can significantly improve
cooperative spectrum sensing and secure the system against Byzantine attacks.

▼ The number of wireless systems and services has grown tremendously over the last two
decades. As a result, the availability of wireless
spectrum has become extremely limited.
Cognitive radio is a new technique to overcome the issue of
spectrum scarcity. In cognitive
radio networks, the licensed users of the
spectrum are called primary users. Secondary
users equipped with cognitive radios can opportunistically transmit via so-called “
spectrum
holes” which can be categorized as spatial or temporal
spectrum holes.
In this dissertation, we propose a joint spatial-temporal
spectrum sensing scheme for
cognitive radios. We show that our joint spatial-temporal
spectrum sensing scheme outperforms
pure temporal
sensing schemes. In addition, joint spatial-temporal
sensing increases
the point-to-point transmission capacity of cognitive radio link compared to pure temporal
or spatial
sensing. We also propose a temporal
spectrum sensing scheme that exploits
multiuser diversity in wireless networks. In wireless networks with fading, multiuser diversity
exists because different users experience peak channel quality at different times.
By exploiting multiuser diversity, our
spectrum sensing method can outperform the
spectrum
sensing schemes that do not exploit multiuser diversity. We develop and analyze
a joint spatial-temporal
sensing scheme that incorporates
cooperative relaying to further
increase the capacity of a cognitive radio network. We consider both amplify-and-forward
and decode-and-forward
cooperative transmission strategies. Finally, we study joint spatialtemporal
spectrum sensing in a multichannel cognitive radio scenario and present randomized
and maximized signal-to-noise ratio algorithms that improve performance in term of
symbol error probability.

▼ In this thesis, the performance of decision-based Cooperative Spectrum Sensing (CSS) using random medium access sequential reporting assuming an imperfect reporting channel shared with a primary user is studied. Random medium access reporting using unacknowledged transmissions is the case of vehicular networks using IEEE 802.11p. This entails, as opposed to scheduled medium access, a non-negligible probability of collision and a variable reporting phase duration. Sequential reporting can reduce the reporting phase duration by employing different early termination schemes where the Fusion Centre (FC) terminates the reporting process once it receives enough evidence about the primary user status. A reduced reporting phase duration for a given detection accuracy performance enhances the overall network throughput. A centralized CSS scheme, where energy detection is employed at the secondary users, and hard-decision fusion is employed at the FC, is considered in this thesis. The objective is then to derive closed-form expressions for the overall probabilities of detection and false alarm at the FC as well as the average reporting phase duration. Analysis is performed first for the simple OR decision fusion rule, at the FC, and then generalized to the K-out-of-M decision fusion rule. Two early termination schemes are investigated for sequential reporting and then a heuristic energy-based reporting priority scheme is proposed. The proposed energy-based reporting scheme gives higher priority to secondary users more capable of detecting the primary user to access the common reporting channel. The proposed reporting scheme is compared to a base or control scheme where all secondary users have the same reporting priority.

▼ Reliable wireless networks for high speed trains require a significant amount of data communications for enabling safety features such as train collision avoidance and railway management. Cognitive radio integrates heterogeneous wireless networks that will be deployed in order to achieve intelligent communications in future railway systems. One of the primary technical challenges in achieving reliable communications for railways is the handling of high mobility environments involving trains, which includes significant Doppler shifts in the transmission as well as severe fading scenarios that makes it difficult to estimate wireless
spectrum utilization. This thesis has two primary contributions: (1) The creation of a Heterogeneous
Cooperative Spectrum Sensing (CSS) prototype system, and (2) the derivation of a Long Term Evolution for Railways (LTE-R) system performance analysis. The Heterogeneous CSS prototype system was implemented using Software-Defined Radios (SDRs) possessing different radio configurations. Both soft and hard-data fusion schemes were used in order to compare the signal source detection performance in real-time fading scenarios. For future smart railways, one proposed solution for enabling greater connectivity is to access underutilized
spectrum as a secondary user via the dynamic
spectrum access (DSA) paradigm. Since it will be challenging to obtain an accurate estimate of incumbent users via a single-sensor system within a real-world fading environment, the proposed
cooperative spectrum sensing approach is employed instead since it can mitigate the effects of multipath and shadowing by utilizing the spatial and temporal diversity of a multiple radio network. Regarding the LTE-R contribution of this thesis, the performance analysis of high speed trains (HSTs) in tunnel environments would provide valuable insights with respect to the smart railway systems operating in high mobility scenarios in drastically impaired channels.

▼ Public Safety Cognitive Radio (PSCR) is a Software Defined Radio(SDR) developed
by the Center for Wireless Telecommunications (CWT) at Virginia Tech. PSCR can
configure itself to interoperate with any public safety waveform it finds during the
scan procedure. It also offers users the capability to scan/classify both analog and
digital waveforms.
The current PSCR architecture can only run on a general purpose processor and
hence is not deployable to the public safety personnel. In the first part of this thesis
an Android based control application for the PSCR on a Beagle Board(BB) and the
GUI for the control application are developed. The Beagle Board is a low-cost, fan-
less single board computer that unleashes laptop-like performance and expandability.
The Android based Nexus One connected to the Beagle Board via USB is used to
control the Beagle Board and enable operations like scan, classify, talk, gateway etc.
In addition to the features that exist in the current PSCR a new feature that enables
interoperation with P25 (CPFSK modulation) protocol based radios is added. In this
effort of porting the PSCR to Beagle Board my contributions are the following (i)
communication protocol between the Beagle Board and the Nexus One (ii) PSCR
control application on the Android based Nexus One (iii) detection/classification of
P25 protocol based radios.
In the second part of this thesis, a prototype testbed of a Dynamic
Spectrum Access
(DSA) broker that uses the Beagle Board PSCR based sensor/classifier is developed.
DSA in simple terms is a concept that lets the user without license (secondary user)
to a particular frequency access that frequency, when the licensed user (primary
user) is not using it. In the proposed testbed we have two Beagle Board based sen-
sor/classifiers that cooperatively scan the
spectrum and report the results to the
central DSA broker. The DSA broker then identifies the frequency
spectrum with-
out primary users and informs the secondary users about the free
spectrum. The
secondary users can then communicate among each other using the frequency band
allocated by the DSA broker. When the primary user enters the
spectrum occupied
by the secondary user, the DSA broker instructs the secondary user to use a different
spectrum. Based on the experiments conducted on the testbed setup in the CWT
lab environment, the average time taken by the DSA broker to detect the presence of
primary user is 0.636 secs and the average time taken for the secondary user to leave the frequency band that interferes with the primary user is 0.653 secs.

▼ The rapid increasing interest in wireless communication has led to the continuous development of wireless devices and technologies. The modern convergence and interoperability of wireless technologies has further increased the amount of services that can be provided, leading to the substantial demand for access to the radio frequency spectrum in an efficient manner. Cognitive radio (CR) an innovative concept of reusing licensed spectrum in an opportunistic manner promises to overcome the evident spectrum underutilization caused by the inflexible spectrum allocation. Spectrum sensing in an unswerving and proficient manner is essential to CR. Cooperation amongst spectrum sensing devices are vital when CR systems are experiencing deep shadowing and in a fading environment. In this thesis, cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) schemes have been designed to optimize detection performance in an efficient and implementable manner taking into consideration: diversity performance, detection accuracy, low complexity, and reporting channel bandwidth reduction. The thesis first investigates state of the art spectrums sensing algorithms in CR. Comparative analysis and simulation results highlights the different pros, cons and performance criteria of a practical CSS scheme leading to the problem formulation of the thesis. Motivated by the problem of diversity performance in a CR network, the thesis then focuses on designing a novel relay based CSS architecture for CR. A major cooperative transmission protocol with low complexity and overhead - Amplify and Forward (AF) cooperative protocol and an improved double energy detection scheme in a single relay and multiple cognitive relay networks are designed. Simulation results demonstrated that the developed algorithm is capable of reducing the error of missed detection and improving detection probability of a primary user (PU). To improve spectrum sensing reliability while increasing agility, a CSS scheme based on evidence theory is next considered in this thesis. This focuses on a data fusion combination rule. The combination of conflicting evidences from secondary users (SUs) with the classical Dempster Shafter (DS) theory rule may produce counter-intuitive results when combining SUs sensing data leading to poor CSS performance. In order to overcome and minimise the effect of the counter-intuitive results, and to enhance performance of the CSS system, a novel state of the art evidence based decision fusion scheme is developed. The proposed approach is based on the credibility of evidence and a dissociability degree measure of the SUs sensing data evidence. Simulation results illustrate the proposed scheme improves detection performance and reduces error probability when compared to other related evidence based schemes under robust practcial scenarios. Finally, motivated by the need for a low complexity and minmum bandwidth reporting channels which can be significant in high data rate applications, novel CSS quantization schemes are proposed. Quantization methods are considered for a…

▼ Wireless Body Area Network (WBAN) is used for communication among sensor nodes operating on, in or around the human body in order to monitor vital body parameters and movements. A typical sensor node in WBAN should ensure accurate sensing of the signal from the body, carry out low-level processing of the sensor signal, and wirelessly transmit the processed signal to a local processing unit. One of the main limitations of the WBAN radio receiver at Imec-Holst Centre, is its poor performance in the presence of excessive interference in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz Industrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) band. Several WLAN, bluetooth and Zigbee devices are expected to operate in the same band, causing interference to the WBAN system. The ability to tolerate the presence of unacceptable interference in this band is crucial in order to minimize the energy consumption of the WBAN system. By designing suitable spectrum sensing algorithms using network cooperation, all the available spectral holes (white spaces) in this band can be obtained accurately and efficiently, thereby improving interference tolerance level of the WBAN system. This thesis work focuses on developing energy detection based cooperative spectrum sensing algorithms, that would enhance the interference tolerance capability of WBAN system in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz ISM band. The available spectral holes in this band are expected to be accurately and efficiently obtained by introducing adaptive scheduling techniques in these spectrum sensing algorithms. The challenge lies in designing these algorithms when considering multiple interferer's in the unlicensed 2.4 GHz ISM band, since numerous devices of different applications are expected to be operating in close proximity, using the same band. The proposed algorithms are investigated and compared with respect to various sensing parameters including accuracy, efficiency, energy and complexity.

▼ In this thesis we investigate how to improve the performance of MU-MIMO wireless system in terms of achieving Shannon capacity limit and efficient use of precious resource of radio spectrum in wireless communication. First a new suboptimal volume-based scheduling algorithm is presented, which can be applied in MU-MIMO downlink system to transmit signals concurrently to multiple users under the assumption of perfect channel information at transmitter and receiver. The volume-based scheduling algorithm utilises Block Diagonalisation precoding and Householder reduction procedure of QR factorisation. In comparison with capacity-based suboptimal scheduling algorithm, the volume-based algorithm has much reduced computational complexity with only a fraction of sum-rate capacity penalty from the upper bound of system capacity limit. In comparison with semi-orthogonal user selection suboptimal scheduling algorithm, the volume-based scheduling algorithm can be implemented with less computational complexity. Furthermore, the sum-rate capacity achieved via volume-based scheduling algorithm is higher than that achieved by SUS scheduling algorithm in the MIMO case. Then, a two-step scheduling algorithm is proposed, which can be used in the MU-MIMO system and under the assumption that channel state information is known to the receiver, but it is not known to the transmitter and the system under the feedback resource constraint. Assume that low bits codebook and high bits codebook are stored at the transmitter and receiver. The users are selected by using the low bits codebook; subsequently the BD precoding vectors for selected users are designed by employing high bits codebook. The first step of the algorithm can alleviate the load on feedback uplink channel in the MU-MIMO wireless system while the second step can aid precoding design to improve system sum-rate capacity. Next, a MU-MIMO cognitive radio (CR) wireless system has been studied. In such system, a primary wireless network and secondary wireless network coexist and the transmitters and receivers are equipped with multiple antennas. Spectrum sensing methods by which a portion of spectrum can be utilised by a secondary user when the spectrum is detected not in use by a primary user were investigated. A Free Probability Theory (FPT) spectrum sensing method that is a blind spectrum sensing method is proposed. By utilizing the asymptotic behaviour of random matrix based on FPT, the covariance matrix of transmitted signals can be estimated through a large number of observations of the received signals. The method performs better than traditional energy spectrum sensing method. We also consider cooperative spectrum sensing by using the FPT method in MU-MIMO CR system. Cooperative spectrum sensing can improve the performance of signal detection. Furthermore, with the selective cooperative spectrum sensing approach, high probability of detection can be achieved when the system is under false alarm constraint. Finally, spectrum sensing method based on the bispectrum of high-order…

▼ Cognitive radios are currently presented as the solution to the ever-increasing
spectrum shortage problem. However, their increased capabilities over traditional radios introduce a new dimension of security threats.
Cooperative Spectrum Sensing (CSS) has been proposed as a means to protect cognitive radio networks from the well known security threats: Primary User Emulation (PUE) and
Spectrum Sensing Data Falsification (SSDF).
I demonstrate a new threat to trust-based CSS protocols, called the Rogue Signal Framing (RSF) intrusion. Rogue signals can be exploited to create the illusion of malicious sensors which leads to the framing of innocent sensors and consequently, their removal from the shared
spectrum sensing. Ultimately, with fewer sensors working together, the
spectrum sensing is less robust for making correct
spectrum access decisions. The simulation experiments illustrate the impact of RSF intrusions which, in severe cases, shows roughly 40% of sensors removed. To mitigate the RSF intrusion's damage to the network's trust, I introduce a new defense based on community detection from analyzing the network's Received Signal Strength (RSS) diversity. Tests show a 95% damage reduction in terms of removed sensors from the shared
spectrum sensing, thus retaining the benefits of CSS protocols.

▼ During the past years wireless communications have been exhibiting an increased growth rendering them the most common way for communication. The continuously increasing demand for wireless services resulted in limited availability of the wireless spectrum. To this end, Cognitive Radio (CR) techniques have been proposed in literature during the past years. The concept of CR approach is to utilize advanced radio and signal-processing technology along with novel spectrum allocation policies to enable new unlicensed wireless users to operate in the existing occupied spectrum areas without degrading the performance of the existing licensed ones. Moreover, the broadcast and fading nature of the wireless channel results in severe degradation on the performance of wireless transmissions. A solution to the problem is the use of multiple-antenna systems so as to achieve spatial diversity. However, in many cases, the communicationdevices' nature permit the support of multiple antennas due to size, power consumption, and hardware limitations. To this end, cooperative communications provide an alternative way to achieve spatial diversity via virtual antenna arrays formed by single antenna nodes. It is noteworthy that cooperation has an important role within the CR literature as many techniques developed within its context exploiting the benefits of cooperation in order to achieve improved performance. Therefore, the aim of the present dissertation is to develop efficient and practical cognitive, cooperative and cognitive cooperative schemes. More specifically the contributions are the following ones.The first contribution is a novel CR communication scheme. During the past years numerous CR communication schemes have been presented in literature. To the best of our knowledge, the majority of them were developed assuming perfect Channel State Information (CSI) at the unlicensed user's side. There are several cases where the licensed users do not desire any interaction with the unlicensed ones. In such cases, the assumption that the unlicensed user can obtain CSI that concerns the licensed user channels is not valid and as a result the corresponding communication technique cannot be applied. Therefore, at first we propose an novel CR communication scheme that requires CSI that can be estimated in a completely blind manner. Then, the corresponding blind estimation scheme is developed. Another significant contribution is the theoretical results that have been derived for both the perfect CSI case and the imperfect CSI case (when the blind estimation scheme is employed for obtaining the corresponding CSI). Especially, the theoretical results that concern the imperfect CSI case are some of the first ones that appear in the relevant literature, to the best of our knowledge.The second contribution is a decentralized adaptive Eigenvalue-Based spectrum Sensing (EBSS) technique for multi-antenna CR Systems. Spectrum Sensing is a fundamental functionality in CR systems. In general, the unlicensed user employs a spectrum sensing technique in…

▼ As more and more wireless applications/services emerge in the market, the already heavily crowded radio
spectrum becomes much scarcer. Meanwhile, however,as it is reported in the recent literature, there is a large amount of radio
spectrum that is under-utilized. This motivates the concept of cognitive radio wireless networks
that allow the unlicensed secondary-users (SUs) to dynamically use the vacant radio
spectrum which is not being used by the licensed primary-users (PUs).
In this dissertation, we investigate protocol design for both the synchronous and asynchronous cognitive radio networks with emphasis on the medium access control (MAC) layer. We propose various
spectrum sharing schemes, opportunistic packet scheduling schemes, and
spectrum sensing schemes in the MAC and physical (PHY) layers for different types of cognitive radio networks, allowing the SUs to opportunistically utilize the licensed
spectrum while confining the level of interference to the range the PUs can tolerate. First, we propose the cross-layer based multi-channel MAC protocol, which integrates the
cooperative spectrum sensing at PHY layer and the interweave-based
spectrum access at MAC layer, for the synchronous cognitive radio networks. Second, we propose the channel-hopping based single-transceiver MAC protocol for the hardware-constrained synchronous cognitive radio networks, under which the SUs can identify and exploit the vacant channels by dynamically switching across the licensed channels with their distinct channel-hopping sequences. Third, we propose the opportunistic multi-channel MAC protocol with the two-threshold sequential
spectrum sensing algorithm for asynchronous cognitive radio networks. Fourth, by combining the interweave and underlay
spectrum sharing modes, we propose the adaptive
spectrum sharing scheme for code division multiple access (CDMA) based cognitive MAC in the uplink communications over the asynchronous cognitive radio networks, where the PUs may have different types of channel usage patterns. Finally, we develop a packet scheduling scheme for the PU MAC protocol in the context of time division multiple access (TDMA)-based cognitive radio wireless networks, which is designed to operate friendly towards the SUs in terms of the vacant-channel probability.
We also develop various analytical models, including the Markov chain models, M=GY =1 queuing models, cross-layer optimization models, etc., to rigorously analyze the performance of our proposed MAC protocols in terms of aggregate throughput, access delay, and packet drop rate for both the saturation network case and non-saturation network case. In addition, we conducted extensive simulations to validate our analytical models and evaluate our proposed MAC protocols/schemes. Both the numerical and simulation results show that our proposed MAC protocols/schemes can significantly improve the
spectrum utilization efficiency of wireless networks.

▼ Cognitive Radio (CR) aims to access the wireless
spectrum in an opportunistic manner while the licensed user is not
using it. To accurately determine the licensed user's existence,
spectrum sensing procedure is vital to CR system. Energy
detection-based
spectrum sensing techniques is favourable due to
its simplicity and low complexity. In addition, to improve the
detection performance,
cooperative spectrum sensing technique
exploits multi-user diversity and mitigates detection uncertainty.
In this thesis, we investigate several energy detection based
cooperative spectrum sensing techniques.First, the closed-form
analysis for the Equal Gain Combining based Soft Decision Combining
(EGC-SDC) scheme, in which all CR users forward its observation to
the fusion center, is derived. In order to reduce the communication
overhead between CR users and the fusion center, we proposed
quantized
cooperative spectrum sensing technique, in which CR users
quantize its local observation before forwarding to the fusion
center. Next, the Double Threshold scheme, where some users only
forward its local decision while other users forward its
observation, is considered and analyzed. To further reduce the
communication overhead, we also proposed that quantization is
applied to the users who forward its observation. Later on, three
sequential
cooperative spectrum sensing schemes in time-varying
channel are considered. By aggregating past local observations from
previous
sensing slots, CR users can improve the detection
performance. The Weighted Sequential Energy Detector (SED) scheme
simply takes fixed number of past local observations, while the
other two schemes, Two-Stage SED and Differential SED, adaptively
determine the number of observations, based on its decision towards
primary user's existence.Simulation results show that the analysis
on EGC-SDC scheme is accurate and the quantized
cooperative
spectrum sensing technique can improve the performance and approach
the detection performance of EGC-SDC scheme with much less
bandwidth requirement. Also, the Double Threshold scheme can help
improve the detection performance over the conventional technique.
Furthermore, the analysis on Double Threshold provides a
closed-form for the probability of false alarm and detection.
Additionally, the sequential
spectrum sensing schemes are shown to
improve the detection performance and enable CR system to work in
scenarios that the conventional technique can not
accommodate.

Another significant contribution is the theoretical results that have been derived for both the perfect CSI case and the imperfect CSI case (when the blind estimation scheme is employed for obtaining the corresponding CSI). Especially, the theoretical results that concern the imperfect CSI case are some of the first ones that appear in the relevant literature, to the best of our knowledge.
The second contribution is a decentralized adaptive Eigenvalue-Based
spectrum Sensing (EBSS) technique for multi-antenna CR Systems.
Spectrum Sensing is a fundamental functionality in CR systems. In general, the unlicensed user employs a
spectrum sensing…
