Detection of Spectrum Misuse Behavior in Satellite-Terrestrial Spectrum Sensing Based on Multi-Hypothesis Tests.

As the increasing of both users' demand and the number of communication satellites, spectrum resource is becoming increasingly scarce. Cognitive radio (CR) can effectively alleviate the scarcity of spectrum resource. By using CR technology in the satellite and terrestrial integrated network, the satellite can share the spectrum resource with the terrestrial communication equipment to improve the spectrum utilization. However, due to the satellite communication's inherent openness and the increasing intelligent level of devices, it makes the satellite communication vulnerable to spectrum misuse, which seriously threatens the reliability and efficiency of the satellite communication system. This paper studies the detection of spectrum misuse in the satellite-terrestrial spectrum sharing system. First, we model the problem as a ternary hypothesis test problem by using generalized multi-hypothesis Neyman-Pearson (GMNP). Then, we utilize a two-step method to solve the complex formula problem in the multiple authorized users scenario. Reasonable decision thresholds are derived by means of the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) and maximum a posterior (MAP) criterion, respectively. Finally, the performance of detection is evaluated and analyzed comprehensively to verify the feasibility of the study.
