Sub-Nyquist sampling-based wideband spectrum sensing:a compressed power spectrum estimation approach

In this paper,we introduce a sub-Nyquist sampling-based receiver architecture and method for wideband spectrum sensing.Instead of recovering the original wideband analog signal,the proposed method aims to directly reconstruct the power spectrum of the wideband analog signal from sub-Nyquist samples.Note that power spectrum alone is sufficient for wideband spectrum sensing.Since only the covariance matrix of the wideband signal is needed,the proposed method,unlike compressed sensing-based methods,does not need to impose any sparsity requirement on the frequency domain.The proposed method is based on a multi-coset sampling architecture.By exploiting the inherent sampling structure,a fast compressed power spectrum estimation method whose primary computational task consists of fast Fourier transform(FFT)is proposed.Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Spectrum Usage Anomaly Detection from Sub-Sampled Data Stream via Deep Neural Network

Anomaly detection is an essential part of any practical system in order to remedy any malfunction and accident early to create a secure and robust system.Malicious users and malfunctioning cognitive radio(CR)devices may cause severe interference to legitimate users.However,there are no effective methods to detect spontaneous and irregular anomaly behaviors in sub-sampling data stream from wideband compressive spectrum sensing as an important function of a CR device.In this article,to detect anomaly utilization of spectrum from sub-sampled data stream,a multiple layer perceptron/feed-forward neural network(FFNN)based solution is proposed.The proposed solution would learn the pattern of legitimate and anomalous usages autonomously without expert's knowledge.The proposed neural network(NN)framework has also shown benefits such as more than 80%faster detection speed and lower detection error rate.
