However, due to the importance of ownership and privacy protection, the IoT system must provide corresponding security mechanisms. From the perspective of improving the transmission security of CR-NOMA system based on cognitive wireless network, and considering the shortcomings of traditional relay cooperative NOMA system, this paper mainly analyzes the eavesdropping channel model of multi-user CR-NOMA system and derives the expressions of system security and rate to improve the security performance of CR-NOMA system. The basic idea of DC planning algorithm and the scheme of sub-carrier power allocation to improve the transmission security of the system were introduced. An algorithm for DC-CR-NOMA was proposed to maximize the SSR of the system and minimize the energy loss. The simulation results show that under the same complexity, the security and speed of the system can be greatly improved compared with the traditional scheme.展开更多

The simulation results showthat the proposed algorithm can obtain about 95% of the optimal throughput and operate with much lower liner computational complexity.展开更多

In this model, the control center is aware of all the users' locations in order to allocate the nearest secondary user to the primary user. The control center is aware of the information of the unused spectral resources in terms of the feedback of the sensing results from the secondary users. It allocates idle frequency bands among the secondary users. The primary user accesses the base station (BS) in orthogonal subchannels, and it cooperatively transmits packets with the secondary user and exploits the free band assigned by the control center to amplify-and-forward what it receives immediately. Under this scenario, the outage probability of the cooperative transmission pair of the primary and secondary transmitters is derived. The numerical simulation of the outage probabilities as a function of primary transmission probability ps, power allocation ratio ξ between the primary and secondary users, and the numbers of the primary and secondary users are given respectively. The results show that the optimal system performance is achieved under the conditions of ξ=0.5 and the numbers of the primary and the secondary users being equal.展开更多

文摘Extensive research attentions have been devoted to studying cooperative cognitive radio networks(CCRNs),where secondary users(SU)providing cooperative transmissions can be permitted by primary users(PU)to use spectrum.In order to maximize SU’s utility,SU may transmit its own information during the period of cooperative transmission,which stimulates the use of covert transmission against PU’s monitoring.For this sake,this article reviews the motivations of studying covert communications in CCRN.In particular,three intelligent covert transmission approaches are developed for maximizing SU’s utility in CCRNs,namely,intelligent parasitic covert transmission(IPCT),intelligent jammer aided covert transmission(IJCT)and intelligent reflecting surface assisted covert transmission(IRSC).Further,some raw performance evaluations are discussed,and a range of potential research directions are also provided.

文摘This paper investigates the effects of the outdated channel state information(CSI)on the secrecy performance of an underlay spectrum sharing cognitive radio networks(CRNs),where the secondary user(SU)source node(Alice)aims to transmit the trusted messages to the full-duplex(FD)aided SU receiver(Bob)with the assistance of cooperative relay(Relay).Considering the impact of feedback delay,outdated CSI will aggravate the system performance.To tackle such challenge,the collaborative zero-forcing beamforming(ZFB)scheme of FD technique is further introduced to implement jamming so as to confuse the eavesdropping and improve the security performance of the system.Under such setup,the exact and asymptotic expressions of the secrecy outage probability(SOP)under the outdated CSI case are derived,respectively.The results reveal that i)the outdated CSI of the SU transmission channel will decrease the diversity gain from min(NANR,NRNB)to NRwith NA,NRand NBbeing the number of antennas of Alice,Relay and Bob,respectively,ii)the introduction of FD technique can improve coding gain and enhance system performance.
文摘Cognitive Radio Networks(CRNs)have become a successful platform in recent years for a diverse range of future systems,in particularly,industrial internet of things(IIoT)applications.In order to provide an efficient connection among IIoT devices,CRNs enhance spectrum utilization by using licensed spectrum.However,the routing protocol in these networks is considered one of the main problems due to node mobility and time-variant channel selection.Specifically,the channel selection for routing protocol is indispensable in CRNs to provide an adequate adaptation to the Primary User(PU)activity and create a robust routing path.This study aims to construct a robust routing path by minimizing PU interference and routing delay to maximize throughput within the IIoT domain.Thus,a generic routing framework from a cross-layer perspective is investigated that intends to share the information resources by exploiting a recently proposed method,namely,Channel Availability Probability.Moreover,a novel cross-layer-oriented routing protocol is proposed by using a time-variant channel estimation technique.This protocol combines lower layer(Physical layer and Data Link layer)sensing that is derived from the channel estimation model.Also,it periodically updates and stores the routing table for optimal route decision-making.Moreover,in order to achieve higher throughput and lower delay,a new routing metric is presented.To evaluate the performance of the proposed protocol,network simulations have been conducted and also compared to the widely used routing protocols,as a benchmark.The simulation results of different routing scenarios demonstrate that our proposed solution outperforms the existing protocols in terms of the standard network performance metrics involving packet delivery ratio(with an improved margin of around 5–20%approximately)under varying numbers of PUs and cognitive users in Mobile Cognitive Radio Networks(MCRNs).Moreover,the cross-layer routing protocol successfully achieves high routing performance in finding a robust route,selecting the high channel stability,and reducing the probability of PU interference for continued communication.
文摘In past decades,cellular networks have raised the usage of spectrum resources due to the victory of mobile broadband services.Mobile devices create massive data than ever before,facing the way cellular networks are installed pre-sently for satisfying the increased traffic requirements.The development of a new exclusive spectrum offered to meet up the traffic requirements is challenging as spectrum resources are limited,hence costly.Cognitive radio technology is pre-sented to increase the pool of existing spectrum resources for mobile users via Femtocells,placed on the top of the available macrocell network for sharing the same spectrum.Nevertheless,the concurrent reuse of spectrum resources from Femto networks poses destructive interference on macro networks.To resolve this issue,this paper introduces an optimal channel allocation model using the Oppo-sitional Beetle Swarm Optimization Algorithm(OBSOA)to allocate the channel with interference avoidance.A new OBSOA is derived in this paper by the inclu-sion of opposition-based learning(OBL)in BSOA.This algorithm allocates the channels used by PUs(PUs)to the secondary users(SUs)in such a way that inter-ference is minimized.This proposed approach is implemented in the MATrix LABoratory(MATLAB)platform.The performance of this proposed approach is evaluated in terms of several measures and the experimental outcome verified the superior nature of the OBSOA-based channel allocation model.OBSOA mod-el has resulted in a maximum signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio value of 86.42 dB.

文摘Intelligent reflecting surface(IRS)is widely recognized as a promising technique to enhance the system perfor-mance,and thus is a hot research topic in future wireless communications.In this context,this paper proposes a robust BF scheme to improve the spectrum and energy harvesting efficiencies for the IRS-aided simultaneous wireless information and power transfer(SWIPT)in a cognitive radio network(CRN).Here,the base station(BS)utilizes spectrum assigned to the primary users(PUs)to simultaneously serve multiple energy receivers(ERs)and information receivers(IRs)through IRS-aided multicast technology.In particular,by assuming that only the imperfect channel state information(CSI)is available,we first formulate a constrained problem to maximize the minimal achievable rate of IRs,while satisfying the harvesting energy threshold of ERs,the quality-of-service requirement of IRs,the interference threshold of PUs and transmit power budget of BS.To address the non-convex problem,we then adopt triangle inequality to deal with the channel uncertainty,and propose a low-complexity algorithm combining alternating direction method of multipliers(ADMM)with alternating optimi-zation(AO)to jointly optimize the active and passive beamformers for the BS and IRS,respectively.Finally,our simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed BF scheme and also provide useful insights into the importance of introducing IRS into the CRN with SWIPT.
文摘In the Internet of Things(IoT)scenario,many devices will communi-cate in the presence of the cellular network;the chances of availability of spec-trum will be very scary given the presence of large numbers of mobile users and large amounts of applications.Spectrum prediction is very encouraging for high traffic next-generation wireless networks,where devices/machines which are part of the Cognitive Radio Network(CRN)can predict the spectrum state prior to transmission to save their limited energy by avoiding unnecessarily sen-sing radio spectrum.Long short-term memory(LSTM)is employed to simulta-neously predict the Radio Spectrum State(RSS)for two-time slots,thereby allowing the secondary node to use the prediction result to transmit its information to achieve lower waiting time hence,enhanced performance capacity.A frame-work of spectral transmission based on the LSTM prediction is formulated,named as positive prediction and sensing-based spectrum access.The proposed scheme provides an average maximum waiting time gain of 2.88 ms.The proposed scheme provides 0.096 bps more capacity than a conventional energy detector.

文摘Cognitive radio wireless sensor networks(CRWSN)can be defined as a promising technology for developing bandwidth-limited applications.CRWSN is widely utilized by future Internet of Things(IoT)applications.Since a promising technology,Cognitive Radio(CR)can be modelled to alleviate the spectrum scarcity issue.Generally,CRWSN has cognitive radioenabled sensor nodes(SNs),which are energy limited.Hierarchical clusterrelated techniques for overall network management can be suitable for the scalability and stability of the network.This paper focuses on designing the Modified Dwarf Mongoose Optimization Enabled Energy Aware Clustering(MDMO-EAC)Scheme for CRWSN.The MDMO-EAC technique mainly intends to group the nodes into clusters in the CRWSN.Besides,theMDMOEAC algorithm is based on the dwarf mongoose optimization(DMO)algorithm design with oppositional-based learning(OBL)concept for the clustering process,showing the novelty of the work.In addition,the presented MDMO-EAC algorithm computed a multi-objective function for improved network efficiency.The presented model is validated using a comprehensive range of experiments,and the outcomes were scrutinized in varying measures.The comparison study stated the improvements of the MDMO-EAC method over other recent approaches.
文摘With the rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT), non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) technology and cognitive wireless network are two promising technologies to improve the spectral efficiency of the system, which have been widely concerned in the field of wireless communication. However, due to the importance of ownership and privacy protection, the IoT system must provide corresponding security mechanisms. From the perspective of improving the transmission security of CR-NOMA system based on cognitive wireless network, and considering the shortcomings of traditional relay cooperative NOMA system, this paper mainly analyzes the eavesdropping channel model of multi-user CR-NOMA system and derives the expressions of system security and rate to improve the security performance of CR-NOMA system. The basic idea of DC planning algorithm and the scheme of sub-carrier power allocation to improve the transmission security of the system were introduced. An algorithm for DC-CR-NOMA was proposed to maximize the SSR of the system and minimize the energy loss. The simulation results show that under the same complexity, the security and speed of the system can be greatly improved compared with the traditional scheme.

文摘To study the throughput scheduling problem under interference temperature in cognitive radio networks, an immune algorithm-based suboptimal method was proposed based on its NP-hard feature. The problem is modeled as a constrained optimization problem to maximize the total throughput of the secondary users( SUs). The mapping between the throughput scheduling problems and the immune algorithm is given. Suitable immune operators are designed such as binary antibody encoding, antibody initialization based on pre-knowledge, a proportional clone to its affinity and an adaptive mutation operator associated with the evolutionary generation. The simulation results showthat the proposed algorithm can obtain about 95% of the optimal throughput and operate with much lower liner computational complexity.

文摘A cooperative model of multiple primary and secondary users coexisting cognitive network is presented. In this model, the control center is aware of all the users' locations in order to allocate the nearest secondary user to the primary user. The control center is aware of the information of the unused spectral resources in terms of the feedback of the sensing results from the secondary users. It allocates idle frequency bands among the secondary users. The primary user accesses the base station (BS) in orthogonal subchannels, and it cooperatively transmits packets with the secondary user and exploits the free band assigned by the control center to amplify-and-forward what it receives immediately. Under this scenario, the outage probability of the cooperative transmission pair of the primary and secondary transmitters is derived. The numerical simulation of the outage probabilities as a function of primary transmission probability ps, power allocation ratio ξ between the primary and secondary users, and the numbers of the primary and secondary users are given respectively. The results show that the optimal system performance is achieved under the conditions of ξ=0.5 and the numbers of the primary and the secondary users being equal.
