Abstract

In this paper, the performance of cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) with censoring of cognitive radio (CR) users under several schemes of fusions at fusion center (FC) has been assessed in the presence of Rayleigh fading. Improved energy detector (IED) with multiple antennas has been used at each CR user. The CR users utilize selection combining (SC) of the decision statistics obtained by IEDs with multiple antennas for making hard decisions about PU and transmit the decisions to the FC using BPSK if the CR user is selected to transmit. Censoring of CR users has been considered based on quality of the reporting channels between CRs and a fusion center (FC). A training based channel estimator is used at FC to estimate the fading coefficients characterizing the channels between the CR users and The FC. Several types of fusion rules such as OR-logic, AND-logic, majority-logic and maximal ratio combining (MRC) fusion rules are considered at the FC for estimating the performance in terms of missed detection (Q m ), total error (Q m  + Q f ) and proposed weighted total error probabilities. Performance of CSS in terms of missed detection is evaluated for various values of IED parameter (p) and number of antennas (M) at each CR. The performance in terms of total error probability has also been estimated for several values of normalized detection thresholds, sensing and reporting channel SNRs under both perfect and imperfect channel estimation. Performance comparison amongst the fusion rules have also been presented under both perfect and imperfect channel estimation under different channel and network conditions.
