A Secure Distributed Spectrum Sensing Scheme in Cognitive Radio

摘要

Distributed spectrum sensing provides an improvement for primary user detection but leads a new security threat into CR system. The spectrum sensing data falsification malicious users can decrease the cooperative sensing performance. In this paper, we propose a distributed scheme in which the presence and absence hypotheses distribution of primary signal is estimated based on past sensing received power data by robust statistics, and the data fusion are performed according to estimated parameters by Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence. Our scheme can achive a powerful capability of malicious user elimination due to the abnormality of the distribution of malicious users compared with that of other legitimate users. In addition, the performance of our data fusion scheme is enhanced by supplemented nodes' reliability weight.
