ABSTRACT

The successful operation of cognitive radio (CR) between CR transmitter and CR receiver (CR link) relies on reliable spectrum sensing. To network CRs requires spectrum sensing at CR transmitter and further information regarding the spectrum availability at CR receiver. Redefining the spectrum sensing along with statistical inference suitable for cognitive radio networks (CRN), we mathematically derive conditions to allow CR transmitter forwarding packets to CR receiver under guaranteed outage probability, and prove that the correlation of localized spectrum availability between a cooperative node and CR receiver determines effectiveness of the cooperative scheme. Applying our novel mathematical model to potential hidden terminals in CRN, we illustrate that the allowable transmission region of a CR, defined as neighborhood, is no longer circular shape even in a pure path loss channel model. This results in asymmetric CR links to make bidirectional links generally inappropriate in CRN, though this challenge can be alleviated by cooperative sensing. Therefore, spectrum sensing capability determines CRN topology. For multiple cooperative nodes, to fully utilize spectrum availability, the selection methodology of cooperative nodes is developed due to limited overhead of information exchange. Defining reliability as information of spectrum availability at CR receiver provided by a cooperative node and by applying neighborhood area, we can compare sensing capability of cooperative nodes from both link and network perspectives. In addition, due to lack of centralized coordination in dynamic CRN, CRs can only acquire local and partial information within limited sensing duration, robust spectrum sensing is therefore proposed. Limits of cooperative schemes and their impacts on network operation are also derived.

研究动机与目标

  • 解决传统频谱感知的局限性,即仅考虑发端感知而忽略接收端可用性。
  • 研究隐藏终端问题与信道衰落如何导致即使发端感知到空闲信道,链路仍不可靠。
  • 提出基于统计推断的模型,利用本地观测与协作感知预测接收端频谱可用性。
  • 分析频谱感知能力如何塑造认知无线电网络拓扑,特别是通过非圆形、非对称邻域。
  • 提出协作节点选择标准,以在信息交换受限的条件下最大化网络级性能。

提出的方法

  • 利用统计推断构建广义频谱感知模型,基于发端的本地观测估计认知无线电接收端的频谱可用性概率。
  • 将链路可用性定义为认知无线电发端与接收端频谱可用性的联合概率,以确保可靠传输的保证中断概率。
  • 引入‘邻域’概念,即认知无线电发端可与接收端可靠通信的空间区域,由联合感知模型推导得出。
  • 使用贝叶斯风险与可靠性度量,从链路与网络两个视角评估协作节点的能力。
  • 建模路径损耗、阴影效应与障碍物对邻域形状的影响,表明其会变得非圆形且非对称。
  • 提出在感知时长有限与去中心化协调条件下的鲁棒频谱感知,利用统计推断处理部分与局部信息。

实验结果

研究问题

  • RQ1如何广义化频谱感知,以确保即使接收端可能因碰撞而无法通信,仍能实现可靠链路操作?
  • RQ2隐藏主用户对认知无线电发端邻域形状与对称性有何影响?
  • RQ3协作节点间频谱可用性的相关性如何影响协作感知在提升链路可靠性方面的有效性?
  • RQ4应采用何种标准选择协作节点,以在最小化信息交换开销的同时最大化网络级性能?
  • RQ5障碍物与阴影等环境因素如何影响频谱感知的可靠性及由此产生的认知无线电网络拓扑?

主要发现

  • 由于隐藏终端导致的非对称频谱可用性,认知无线电发端的邻域即使在纯路径损耗模型下也非圆形。
  • 由于邻域形状非对称,认知无线电网络中的双向通信链路通常不可行,导致单向链路或隐藏终端问题。
  • 协作感知可恢复双向链路,但其有效性取决于协作节点与主用户之间的位置和相关性。
  • 最优协作节点是能最大化邻域面积的节点,仿真显示位于(0.4, 0.3)的节点在恢复覆盖范围方面优于其他节点。
  • 障碍物引起的阴影显著减小邻域面积,尤其当障碍物尺寸(κ)较小时,接收端碰撞概率增加。
  • 链路级可靠性(最小化贝叶斯风险)与网络级性能(最大化邻域面积)之间存在权衡,系统设计中必须加以平衡。
