Abstract:In this paper, we propose a robust spectrum sensing (SS) technique for cognitive radio receivers (CRRs) when a malicious CR user (MCRU) coexists in the network. The primary users (PUs) that we consider are the television (TV) broadcasters, who operate in an ultrahigh-frequency (UHF) band. Using multiple antennas of CRR, as a first step, we locate a narrower subband-within an UHF-TV range-at which the interference due to MCRU is least. Then, SS is implemented only at the chosen band, so that the detection of PU… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
