Abstract

In this paper a novel multiple-user cooperative spectrum sensing scheme (MCSS) based on hybrid relay is proposed to achieve the spatial diversity gain in detection of the primary user (PU) in a cognitive radio (CR) network. A practically important case where co-channel interference signals are present at the network is considered for the analysis. Closed-form expressions of detection probability \((\hbox {P}_{\mathrm{d}})\) and false alarm probability \((\alpha )\) for the proposed adaptive decode-and-forward based multiple-user cooperative spectrum sensing scheme (ADF-MCSS) using energy detector over Rayleigh fading sensing channels is derived in presence of co-channel interference at the secondary user which is far away from the PU. Further we extend the concept of two user amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) cooperative spectrum sensing schemes in multiple-user scenario (i.e. AF-MCSS and DF-MCSS) over Rayleigh fading channels when the secondary user (which is far away from PU) is affected by interference. Closed-form expressions of AF-MCSS and DF-MCSS schemes over a Rayleigh fading channels are also evaluated and compared with that of proposed ADF-MCSS in presence of interference signals at the secondary user. Further the performance analysis of AF-MCSS, DF-MCSS and ADF-MCSS schemes are compared with the existing non-cooperative spectrum sensing schemes in presence of interference at the secondary user. Our analysis is validated by numerical and simulation results for multiple-user CR network. The impact of number of cooperative relays, SNR in sensing channel, energy of interference signal, false alarm on detection probability in proposed ADF, AF and DF schemes is shown.
