However, most of the current collaborative sensing schemes are vulnerable to the interference of the malicious secondary users (SUs). In this paper we propose a reputation-based collaborative spectrum sensing scheme to improve the security of cooperative sensing by mitigating the impacts of misbehaviors. The fusion center calculates the reputation rating of each SU according to their history reports to weight their sensing results in the proposed scheme. We analyze and evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme and its advantages over previous schemes in expansibility and integrity. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can minimize the harmful influence from malicious SUs.展开更多
