Abstract

In this paper, the performance of cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) with censoring of cognitive radio (CR) users in Rayleigh fading channel is analyzed. More precisely, CR users which employ energy detectors are censored depending on the quality of radio channels between them and a fusion center (FC). Each CR makes a hard decision about primary user (PU) using energy detection and transmits the information to FC using BPSK signaling if that CR user is selected to transmit. A training based channel estimator is used at the FC to estimate the complex Gaussian fading coefficients characterizing the channels between the CR users and the FC. This channel state information on fading coefficients is used for censoring the CR users. Two fusion rules such as majority logic fusion and maximal ratio combining (MRC) fusion rules are applied at the FC for estimating the performance in terms of probability of missed detection (Pm). We develop a simulation test bed for evaluating the performance of CSS scheme. Probability of missed detection has been evaluated for both perfect and imperfect channel estimation for various probabilities of false alarm (Pf), reporting and sensing channel SNR values.
