Sparse Spectrum Sensing in Infrastructure-less Cognitive Radio Networks via Binary Consensus Algorithms
Compressive Sensing has been utilized in Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) to
exploit the sparse nature of the occupation of the primary users. Also,
distributed spectrum sensing has been proposed to tackle the wireless channel
problems, like node or link failures, rather than the common (centralized
approach) for spectrum sensing. In this paper, we propose a distributed
spectrum sensing framework based on consensus algorithms where SU nodes
exchange their binary decisions to take global decisions without a fusion
center to coordinate the sensing process. Each SU will share its decision with
its neighbors, and at every new iteration each SU will take a new decision
based on its current decision and the decisions it receives from its neighbors;
in the next iteration, each SU will share its new decision with its neighbors.
We show via simulations that the detection performance can tend to the
performance of majority rule Fusion Center based CRNs
Pushing towards the Limit of Sampling Rate: Adaptive Chasing Sampling
Measurement samples are often taken in various monitoring applications. To
reduce the sensing cost, it is desirable to achieve better sensing quality
while using fewer samples. Compressive Sensing (CS) technique finds its role
when the signal to be sampled meets certain sparsity requirements. In this
paper we investigate the possibility and basic techniques that could further
reduce the number of samples involved in conventional CS theory by exploiting
learning-based non-uniform adaptive sampling.
Based on a typical signal sensing application, we illustrate and evaluate the
performance of two of our algorithms, Individual Chasing and Centroid Chasing,
for signals of different distribution features. Our proposed learning-based
adaptive sampling schemes complement existing efforts in CS fields and do not
depend on any specific signal reconstruction technique. Compared to
conventional sparse sampling methods, the simulation results demonstrate that
our algorithms allow less number of samples for accurate signal
reconstruction and achieve up to smaller signal reconstruction error
under the same noise condition.Comment: 9 pages, IEEE MASS 201
