Abstract
This paper presents a novel adaptive wideband compressed spectrum sensing scheme for cognitive radio (CR) networks. Compared to the traditional CSSbased CR scenarios, the proposed approach reconstructs neither the received signal nor its spectrum during the compressed sensing procedure. On the contrary, a precise estimation of wide spectrum support is recovered with a fewer number of compressed measurements. Then, the spectrum occupancy is determined directly from the reconstructed support vector. To carry out this process, a data-driven methodology is utilized to obtain the minimum number of necessary samples required for support reconstruction, and a closed-form expression is obtained that optimally estimates the number of desired samples as a function of the sparsity level and number of channels. Following this phase, an adjustable sequential framework is developed where the first step predicts the optimal number of compressed measurements and the second step recovers the sparse support and makes sensing decision. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations demonstrate the improvement achieved with the proposed algorithm to significantly reduce both sampling costs and average sensing time without any deterioration in detection performance. Furthermore, the remainder of the sensing time can be employed by secondary users for data transmission, thus leading to the enhancement of the total throughput of the CR network.
