Abstract | The most important task for a cognitive radio (CR) system is to identify the primary licensed users over a wide range of spectrum. Cooperation among spectrum sensing devices has been shown to offer various benefits including decrease in sensitivity requirements of the individual sensing devices. However, it has been shown in the literature that the performance of cooperative sensing schemes can be severely degraded due to presence of malicious users sending false sensing data. In this paper, we present techniques to identify such malicious users and mitigate their harmful effect on the performance of the cooperative sensing system. |
