Hermitan matrices based malicious cognitive radio detection and bayesian method for detecting primary user emulation attack

Abstract

Cognitive radio (CR) is a facilitating technology to efficiently deal with the spectrum scarceness, and it will significantly enhance the spectrum deployment of upcoming wireless transmission method. Security is a significant concern, although not well tackle in cognitive radio networks (CRN). In CR networks, this approach regard as a security issue happen from primary user emulation attack (PUEA). A PUEA attacker forwards an emulated primary signal and defraud the CR users to avoid them from accessing spectrum holes. Here, we introduce a Hermitan matrices based malicious cognitive radio (CMCR) detection and Bayesian method for detecting PUEA attack in the CRN. In this approach, the Bayesian method is used for detecting the PUEA attack. The trust analyzer evaluates the CR trust. Here, the node trust value is computed by node activeness and inactiveness, degree of data transmission, and hermitan matrics verification. In addition, the Hermitan Matrices method is used to detect the malicious CR user in the CRN. The simulation outcomes propose that the CMCR leads to improve the performance in terms of better detection ratio, minimized the possibility of miss detection ratio. Furthermore, it minimized the possibility of false alarm in the CRN.
