Energy/bandwidth-Saving Cooperative Spectrum Sensing for Two-hopWRAN

Journal Title: EAI Endorsed Transactions on Cognitive Communications - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 1

Abstract

A two-hop wireless regional area network (WRAN) providing monitoring services operating in Television White Space (TVWS), i.e., IEEE P802.22b, may employ a great number of subscriber customer-premises equipments (S-CPEs) possibly without mains power supply, leading to requirement of cost-effective and power-saving design. This paper proposes a framework of cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) and an energy/bandwidth saving CSS scheme to P802.22b. In each round of sensing, S-CPEs with SNRs lower than a predefined threshold are excluded from reporting sensing results. Numerical results show that the fused missed-detection probability and false alarmprobability could remainmeeting sensing requirements, and the overall fused error probability changes very little. With 10 S-CPEs, it is possible to save more than 40% of the energy/bandwidth on a Rayleigh channel. The principle proposed can apply to other advanced sensing technologies capable of detecting primary signals with low average SNR.
