A key issue of the spectrum sensing functionality in Cognitive Radio (CR) networks is the ability of tuning the sensing time parameters, i.e., the sensing time and the transmission time, according to the Primary User (PU) network dynamics. In fact, these parameters influence both the spectrum sensing efficiency and the PU interference avoidance. This issue becomes even more challenging in presence of PU mobility. In this paper, an optimal spectrum sensing design for mobile PU scenarios is proposed with the aim to achieve the following important features: i) to determine the optimal mobility-aware transmission time, i.e., the transmission time value that jointly maximizes the spectrum sensing efficiency and satisfies the PU interference constraint; ii) to determine the optimal mobility-aware sensing time threshold, i.e., the maximum sensing time value assuring efficient spectrum sensing. First, closed-form expressions of both the optimal transmission time and the optimal sensing time threshold are analytically derived for a general PU mobility model. Then, the derived expressions are specialized for two widely adopted mobility models, i.e., the Random Walk mobility Model with reflection and the Random Way-Point mobility Model. Practical rules for the sensing parameter tuning are provided with reference to the considered mobility models. The analytical results are finally validated through simulations.

Abstract
A key issue of the spectrum sensing functionality in Cognitive Radio (CR) networks is the ability of tuning the sensing time parameters, i.e., the sensing time and the transmission time, according to the Primary User (PU) network dynamics. In fact, these parameters influence both the spectrum sensing efficiency and the PU interference avoidance. This issue becomes even more challenging in presence of PU mobility. In this paper, an optimal spectrum sensing design for mobile PU scenarios is proposed with the aim to achieve the following important features: i) to determine the optimal mobility-aware transmission time, i.e., the transmission time value that jointly maximizes the spectrum sensing efficiency and satisfies the PU interference constraint; ii) to determine the optimal mobility-aware sensing time threshold, i.e., the maximum sensing time value assuring efficient spectrum sensing. First, closed-form expressions of both the optimal transmission time and the optimal sensing time threshold are analytically derived for a general PU mobility model. Then, the derived expressions are specialized for two widely adopted mobility models, i.e., the Random Walk mobility Model with reflection and the Random Way-Point mobility Model. Practical rules for the sensing parameter tuning are provided with reference to the considered mobility models. The analytical results are finally validated through simulations.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
