Résumé :

In this paper, we study a consensus algorithm for distributed spectrum sensing (DSS) in cognitive radio networks (CRN) integrating a Goodness of Fit based spectrum sensing scheme. Existing work in this area often applies energy detector as a local spectrum sensing method for DSS, however in this case one needs to make the assumption that the noise level is the same at every node in the network, otherwise the threshold can not be set properly. In GoF based spectrum sensing, the threshold for the binary test depends only on the desired false alarm probability and not on the local noise powers. Motivated by this nice feature of GoF based spectrum sensing, we consider the goodness of fit (GoF) test statistic to be exchanged among cognitive radio (CR) users (consensus variable) instead of the energy. Moreover, a weighted consensus based DSS scheme is proposed and compared to the conventional consensus based on DSS. Simulations are conducted to show the effectiveness of the consensus algorithm based on GoF test.
