چکیده

Transmit beamforming is an effective mechanism to enable the operation of secondary users (SUs) in underlay cognitive radio networks. However, wireless nodes that are equipped with single omni-directional antennas cannot exploit the benefits of transmit beamforming on their own. Using cooperative beamforming, a group of nodes can collaborate to steer the signal towards the direction of the intended receiver while, at the same time, null the transmitted signal in the direction of primary receiver. In this paper, we study how to select a subset of N nodes out of NT nodes for performing cooperative beamforming. Specifically, we investigate how different node-selection schemes affect the performance of cooperative beamforming. Motivated by the findings from this study, we propose a computationally efficient node-selection scheme for achieving a near-optimal performance in cooperative beamforming. Using simulation results, we demonstrate the performance of our proposed scheme, and show that it is scalable with the system size (i.e., for different values of N and NT ) and is computationally very efficient as compared to other node-selection schemes.

Performance Analysis of Wireless Cooperative Networks with Iterative Incremental Relay Selection

In this paper, an iterative incremental relay selection (IIRS) scheme is considered for wireless cooperative networks in order to increase the reliability of transmission. Different from the conventional incremental relay selection which incrementally selects a best relay for only one iteration; the IIRS scheme iteratively applies the incremental relaying and relay selection processes. To evalu...

Cooperative beamforming and relay selection in cognitive radio systems

In this paper, a new scheme is suggested for cooperative beamforming (BF) and relay selection in CR networks, where a pair of secondary users communicates with each other assisted by some multiple antenna relay nodes. The goal of the algorithm is to maximize signal to interference plus noise ratio of secondary user receiver subject to limited interference caused for primary user receiver and po...

A New Cooperative Approach for Cognitive Radio Networks with Correlated Wireless Channels

An effective cooperative cognitive radio system is proposed, when the wireless channels are highly correlated. The system model consists of two multi-antenna secondary users (SU TX and SU RX), constituting the desired link and some single-antenna primary and secondary users. The objective is the maximization of the data rates of the desired SU link subject to the interference constraints on the...

Spectrum Sensing Data Falsification Attack in Cognitive Radio Networks: An Analytical Model for Evaluation and Mitigation of Performance Degradation

Cognitive Radio (CR) networks enable dynamic spectrum access and can significantly improve spectral efficiency. Cooperative Spectrum Sensing (CSS) exploits the spatial diversity between CR users to increase sensing accuracy. However, in a realistic scenario, the trustworthy of CSS is vulnerable to Spectrum Sensing Data Falsification (SSDF) attack. In an SSDF attack, some malicious CR users deli...
