Abstract

Without an efficient way to achieve the reliability of the decision, the implementation of weighted data fusion is limited in the hard decision combination for cooperative spectrum sensing. To address this problem, a new cooperative spectrum sensing scheme based on the location information of the primary user (PU) and cognitive radio (CR) is proposed. In the new scheme, depending on the location information, the channel condition between the PU and each CR is obtained at the fusion center (FC), with which the local sensing reliability is first achieved. Then we calculate the transmission reliability between the CR and FC. Based on both the local sensing reliability and the transmission reliability, the combining weighting factor is determined for optimal data fusion. On the basis of this proposed scheme, we study the global sensing false alarm and detection probabilities, derive the expressions to obtain the optimal local sensing threshold, and perform an error analysis that demonstrates the impact of imperfect channel knowledge. Using both analytical and simulation methods, we find that the proposed scheme achieves better performance compared with the conventional logical fusion rules in the hard decision combination for cooperative spectrum sensing.
