Analytical Model for Mitigating Primary User Emulation Attack using Hypothesis Testing in Cognitive Radio Networks
Main Article Content
Abstract
The Cognitive Radio (CR) is the key technology to deal with spectrum scarcity by allowing unlicensed CR users to coexist with existing users in licensed spectrum bands without interfering with binding communications. Cognitive technology provides the spectrum ability to be shared with licensed networks. This radio system can adjust its transmitter and recipient parameters on the basis of interaction with the current conditions in the environment. Due to this flexibility cognitive radios are exploring different types of threats and security attacks. In this paper, we focus primarily on the Primary User Emulation Attack (PUEA) which is a major attack in the cognitive radio network. PUEA is similar to a Denial-of-service attack that can seriously disrupt the spectrum sensing process and deny other legitimate secondary users to access the available spectrum. We proposed a Neyman-Pearson composite hypothesis test (NPCHT) based analytical model to study the impact of PUEA in a fading wireless communication environment. Simulation results show that the proposed techniques can substantially reduce the impact of the malicious attack on the network
