Cognitive radio network (CRN) is a promising technology, which enables secondary users to use the free spectrum channels without causing detrimental interference with the primary user (PU). Nevertheless, CRN is subject to numerous cyber attacks that have a negative impact on its performance. Among the CRN attacks, the primary user emulation (PUE) attack is known to be one of the malicious attacks...
Primary user emulation (PUE) attack is one of the main threats affecting cognitive radio (CR) networks. The PUE can forge the same signal as the real primary user (PU) in order to use the licensed channel and cause deny of service (DoS). Therefore, it is important to locate the position of the PUE in order to stop and avoid any further attack. Several techniques have been proposed for localization,...
The scarcity of spectrum radio and the immense growth of mobile applications that demand real-time data communications have raised several challenges in the level of medium access control (MAC) design which impose the necessity for a real review and enhancement of MAC protocols. The MAC layer has gained new capabilities with cognitive radio (CR) and opportunistic spectrum access. It is one of the...
In cognitive radio networks, spectrum sensing aims to detect the unused spectrum channels in order to use the radio spectrum more efficiently. Various methods have been proposed in the past, such as energy, feature detection, and matched filter. These methods are characterized by a sensing threshold, which plays an important role in the sensing performance. Most of the existing techniques used a static...
