Energy Consumption Control in Cooperative and Non-Cooperative Cognitive Radio using Variable Spectrum Sensing Sampling
Keywords:
Cognitive Radio, Cooperative Sensing, Energy Detection, Energy Consumption,Abstract
In cognitive radio (CR) network, the concept of energy-efficient design is very important considering the costly energy consumption that may limit its implementation, especially in battery-powered devices. In these networks, significant part of the energy is consumed in the energy detector during spectrum sensing to detect the presence and absence of the primary user (PU). In this paper, we investigated the reduction of energy consumption in two scenarios: the non-cooperative scenario and the cooperative scenario by reducing the number of sensed samples. We also explained the optimisation criteria for improving energy consumption by controlling the number of sensed samples, and the detection probability in both scenarios. The performance of energy detection system was evaluated in AWGN and Rayleigh fading channels. The simulation results show that in non-cooperative scenario at Eb/No of 10 dB, 50% and 46% of the energy consumed in the detection was saved when the number of sensed samples was reduced by 50% with acceptable loss in detection probability of 5% and 12% in AWGN and Rayleigh channel respectively. In cooperative scenario, the result shows that increasing the number of cognitive users (CU) reduced the average energy consumption per sensor and improved the detection probability.References
