Can we use it?
• Cognitive radio is a promising wireless technology.
• Allows users to harness spectrum that is assigned to licensed users, but is not being fully utilized at a specific place or time.
• Devices in a cognitive radio network sense the spectrum around them for unused portions and then dynamically utilize empty spectrum bands they can find.
![Page 22: Cognitive Radio Networks, and Spectrum Sensing · •More aggressive temporal and spatial reuse of the available spectrum: •Cognitive radio systems •Femto cells & Offloading solutions](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042018/5e76091d0c69cd2dd57d15aa/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Terminology
• Primary Users (PUs): The main license-holders of the spectrum. Such devices are typically not cognitive, and do not have any functionality for sharing the spectrum with others, as they have priority access to the spectrum by law.
• Secondary Users (SUs): Allowed opportunistic access to the licensed spectrum of the PUs, but only temporarily and with less priority. Also known as CR nodes.
• An SU uses its cognitive abilities to communicate over the available spectrum bands, while concurrently minimizing interference with PUs.

Applications of Cognitive Radio

![Page 25: Cognitive Radio Networks, and Spectrum Sensing · •More aggressive temporal and spatial reuse of the available spectrum: •Cognitive radio systems •Femto cells & Offloading solutions](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042018/5e76091d0c69cd2dd57d15aa/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Cognitive Radio Modes
• 3 Modes 1. Overlay: Cooperative
communications
2. Underlay: Respect interference constraints
3. Interweave: Spectrum holes
![Page 26: Cognitive Radio Networks, and Spectrum Sensing · •More aggressive temporal and spatial reuse of the available spectrum: •Cognitive radio systems •Femto cells & Offloading solutions](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042018/5e76091d0c69cd2dd57d15aa/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
1. Overlay: Cooperative communications
• Simultaneous communication between SUs and PUs as long as secondary users facilitate the PUs communication
• Relies on: • Cooperative communication
• Distributed space-time coding
![Page 27: Cognitive Radio Networks, and Spectrum Sensing · •More aggressive temporal and spatial reuse of the available spectrum: •Cognitive radio systems •Femto cells & Offloading solutions](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042018/5e76091d0c69cd2dd57d15aa/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
2. Underlay
• SU co-exist with PU as long as the interference to PU remains tolerable
• Secondary performance: Minimize power or maximize capacity.
• Primary protection measure: Depends on the channel state information (CSI) at SU Transmitter.
![Page 28: Cognitive Radio Networks, and Spectrum Sensing · •More aggressive temporal and spatial reuse of the available spectrum: •Cognitive radio systems •Femto cells & Offloading solutions](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042018/5e76091d0c69cd2dd57d15aa/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Underlay Challenges:
• Measurement challenges • Measuring interference at primary receiver
• Measuring direction of primary node for beamsteering
• Policy challenges • Underlays typically coexist with licensed users
• Licensed users paid $$$ for their spectrum • Licensed users don’t want underlays
• Insist on very stringent interference constraints
• Severely limits underlay capabilities and applications
![Page 29: Cognitive Radio Networks, and Spectrum Sensing · •More aggressive temporal and spatial reuse of the available spectrum: •Cognitive radio systems •Femto cells & Offloading solutions](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042018/5e76091d0c69cd2dd57d15aa/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
3. Interweave: Opportunistic Spectrum Access
Primary (PU) and secondary users (SU) communicate simultaneously only in the case of false spectral hole detection • Secondary transmission is only allowed when primary is
idle • Spectrum sensing has to be performed
• Problem modeled as binary hypothesis detection problem • Secondary performance: minimizing probability of false
alarm. • Primary protection measure: satisfy probability of
detection.
![Page 30: Cognitive Radio Networks, and Spectrum Sensing · •More aggressive temporal and spatial reuse of the available spectrum: •Cognitive radio systems •Femto cells & Offloading solutions](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042018/5e76091d0c69cd2dd57d15aa/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Interweave Challenges
• Spectral hole locations change dynamically • Need wideband agile receivers with fast sensing
• Compressed sensing can play a role here
• Spectrum must be sensed periodically • Tx and Rx must coordinate to find common holes • Hard to guarantee bandwidth
• Detecting and avoiding active users is challenging • Fading and shadowing cause false hole detection • Random interference can lead to false active user detection
• Policy challenges • Licensed users hate interweave even more than underlay
![Page 31: Cognitive Radio Networks, and Spectrum Sensing · •More aggressive temporal and spatial reuse of the available spectrum: •Cognitive radio systems •Femto cells & Offloading solutions](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042018/5e76091d0c69cd2dd57d15aa/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
CR General Challenges
• Channel allocation between secondary users (called spectrum access strategy).
• Centralized: All SUs forward their spectrum sensing measurements to a central authority, which performs spectrum assignment. Requires a CCC and a powerful central controller.
• Decentralized (ad-hoc): Each SU uses its local spectrum sensing information to make its own decisions about spectrum allocation, independent of others in the system. Fairness and throughput issues (collisions).

Reliable Sensing
Sensing is important to detect the presence of PUs. • But there is noise, attenuation and fading (too much in a wireless channel).
• Wide range of spectrum sensing algorithms • Trade-offs: detection performance, complexity, computational cost, applicability.
• Applicability depends on available information: • Detailed knowledge(modulation type, pulse shaping, synchronization info, etc..) Matched filter • Certain features Feature detector (cyclostationary, pilots, others…) • Correlated signal (oversampling, multiple antennas) Covariance detector • No prior information Energy detector
• Ideal sensor: • Simple (low complexity and low computational cost) • General applicability (ability to detect any signal format) • High detection performance (high detection prob., low false alarm prob.)

Energy detection scheme
• The energy detection scheme is the most popular spectrum sensing technique in cognitive radio.
• Because it exhibits: • Low complexity
• Robust to unknown dispersed channels fading, and variation of the primary signal.
• It does not require any a priori knowledge of the primary signal under detection.

Spectrum Sensing Problem
• Primary user has two states, idle or busy. Noise Noise + signal
• Formulated according to simple binary hypothesis test:
Where,
x(n) Rx baseband equivalent of nth sample
s(n) nth sample of primary user signal seen at Rx
w(n) Complex Gaussian noise independent of s(n), unknown noise variance

Performance metrics:
False alarm (Pf): efficiency
Missed-detection (Pm): reliability
Detection (Pd): 1-Pm
• Higher Pd (lower Pm) and lower Pf are preferred.

Types of Spectrum Sensing
![Page 41: Cognitive Radio Networks, and Spectrum Sensing · •More aggressive temporal and spatial reuse of the available spectrum: •Cognitive radio systems •Femto cells & Offloading solutions](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042018/5e76091d0c69cd2dd57d15aa/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Parallel vs. Sequential Sensing
• If there are N frequency channels
• Sense channels 1 to N at the same time (parallel): requires N sensing device
• Sequential: Sense channels one by one. Which order?: May take too long to find an empty channel.
![Page 42: Cognitive Radio Networks, and Spectrum Sensing · •More aggressive temporal and spatial reuse of the available spectrum: •Cognitive radio systems •Femto cells & Offloading solutions](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042018/5e76091d0c69cd2dd57d15aa/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Proactive vs. Reactive Sensing
• Proactive Sensing:
CR senses even if it will not transmit immediately, e.g. periodic sensing. • Trade-off: collected information about the channels vs. sensing cost
• Reactive Sensing:
CR senses only if it will transmit or receive. • Energy-efficient, time to find an idle channel may be longer than Proactive
Sensing.
![Page 43: Cognitive Radio Networks, and Spectrum Sensing · •More aggressive temporal and spatial reuse of the available spectrum: •Cognitive radio systems •Femto cells & Offloading solutions](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042018/5e76091d0c69cd2dd57d15aa/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Synchronous vs. Asynchronous Sensing • Synchronous
All CRs have the same sensing schedule to sense a channel. How to Synchronize?
Stop transmission and sense the medium.
• Asynchronous
Each CR has its own schedule to sense a channel. If other CRs are transmitting while this CR is sensing, how to distinguish
between SU and PU signal.

In-band vs. Out-of-band Sensing
• In-band
CR senses the channel that it is already transmitting.
• Out-of-band
CR senses channels other than the channel it is in. Multi-Antennas

A Central Manager (BS or AP) collects CR sensing data and makes a decision on channel state, i.e. idle or busy
Cost of transmission sensing data?
What if the Central Manager fails? Single Point of Failure.
• Distributed (Decentralized)
Each CR makes decision itself. Inaccurate decision

Cooperative vs. Non-cooperative
Non-cooperative sensing (using local-based sensing): Each SU relies only on its local observations to make sensing decisions. Reliability issues.
Cooperative sensing (system-wide sensing): spectrum sensing measurements made by one individual SU is shared among all other SUs in the network More reliable: to solve the problem of hidden node.
How to communicate? Common control channels (CCC)

Decision Fusion: How to decide?
• DECISION FUSION LOGIC:
AND
OR
MAJORITY
K-of-N
• Soft or Hard Decision Combining: Yes or No answers (0-1), or Received Signal Strength.

Challenges of Spectrum Sensing
• Hardware requirements: High speed processing units (DSPs or FPGAs) performing computationally
demanding signal processing tasks with relatively low delay.
Operation in a wide spectrum range.
• Sensing-Transmission Tradeoff
• Security: a selfish or malicious user can modify its air interface to mimic a primary user

Conclusion and Current Work
• Spectrum scarcity is becoming a reality
• This scarcity can be relieved through: • Cognitive radio networks • Extreme bandwidth communication systems
• The spectrum sensing can be designed considering various criteria at MAC and PHY layer
• The longer is the sensing duration, generally the higher is the sensing reliability
• Cooperation increases sensing performance but has higher overhead
• Analytical results can be used to perform initial system level trade-offs
