  5. Multi-antenna Bayesian Spectrum Sensing Supélec, SCEE Rennes, France 5 •

    At each sensing period: a Bayesian inference is applied. • Priors for the spatial covariance and the probability of channel occupancy. • Posterior are employed as priors for the next sensing frame. • Simulations and experimental measurements.
  6. Multi-antenna Bayesian Spectrum Sensing Supélec, SCEE Rennes, France 6 •

    Two different structures for the covariance matrix: • The spectrum sensing problem can be formulated as a binary hypothesis test as follows: xt is the acquired snapshot at time n, st is the primary signal vector. Under , a L x L covariance matrix can be written as + , i.e., a rank- P matrix plus a scaled diagonal matrix.
  7. Bayesian inference Supélec, SCEE Rennes, France 7 • Prior distributions:

    a Bernoulli distribution, complex inverse wishart −1and the inverse-gamma −1. -Parameters of prior distributions: , , , . -A non-informative prior at t = 0.
  8. Bayesian inference Supélec, SCEE Rennes, France 8 • Since the

    noise is Gaussian, the likelihoods p(|= 0, ) and p(| = 1, ) can be written: • Priors are conjugate and therefore the posterior distributions (conditioned on the channel state) have the same form as the prior • Exact posterior distribution of , and
  9. Bayesian inference Supélec, SCEE Rennes, France 9 where the posterior

    parameters depend on the observed data and are given by: • When is marginalized, each unconditional posteriors becomes a convex combination of the posteriors for each hypotheses, yielding: • Exact posterior distribution of , and

    a transmitter being present given observations : =p( = 1|). The channel is occupied when the collision probability is below some desired threshold. where is given by • Exact posterior distribution of , and
  11. Bayesian inference over multiple frames Supélec, SCEE Rennes, France 11

    • The (unconditional) posteriors after processing the t-th frame summarize all the information observed so far. • The posteriors obtained after processing a sensing frame are employed as priors for the next sensing frame • Learning from past sensing frames
  12. Bayesian inference over multiple frames Supélec, SCEE Rennes, France 12

    • Problem: The posterior distribution are convex combination of the posterior under each hypotheses • Thresholding-based approximation • Kullback-Leibler approximation Priors can be obtained by truncanting to either 0 or 1 whichever it is closer. A more rigororus approach is given by minimizing the KL distance
  13. Bayesian inference over multiple frames Supélec, SCEE Rennes, France 13

    • Forgetting in non-stationary environments The chanel may vary between consecutive frames, and a mechanism to forget past data is introduced. Bayesian λ forgeting: prior distributions for frame t+1 is given by a “smooth” version of the posterior distribution (after processing frame t) and the original distribution for and With this forgetting step, the parameters of the prior distributions to be used for Bayesian inference at t+1 are given by,

  26. Conclusions Supélec, SCEE Rennes, France 26 • A Bayesian framework

    employs a forgetting mechanism where the posterior for the unknown parameters and are used as priors for the next Bayesian inference. • This scheme is evaluated under a stationary channel, slowly time-varying channel, and fast time-varying channel. For stationary environments: A Bayesian detector provides the best detection performance, since the unknown covariance matrices ( and ) remains constant. A KL posterior approximation provides a best performance in comparison to the thresholding-based approximation. Our simulation results and experimental measurements show to have a significant gain over one-shot GLRT detector by setting a forgetting factor λ =1.0.
  27. Conclusions Supélec, SCEE Rennes, France 27 For non-stationary environments: Bayesian

    scheme also shows a better performance over one-shot detectors. A coarse approximation (thresholding-based approach) attain a better performance. In this case, a small degradation in its performance is observed by setting a higher value for λ =1.0. • A Bayesian detector show the feasibility of learning efficiently the posteriors parameters to detect a PU signal under stationary and non-stationary environments.
  28. A KCCA for Robust Cooperative Spectrum Sensing Supélec, SCEE Rennes,

    France 28 • A kernel canonical correlation analysis (KCCA) technique is performed at the fusion center (FC). • Statistical tests are extracted: decisions either at each SU (autonomously) or cooperatively at the FC. • Simulations and experimental measurements.
  29. Robust KCCA Spectrum Sensing Scheme Supélec, SCEE Rennes, France 29

    • The optimal detectors at each SU will be highly correlated, i.e. if SUs are either all under the null hypothesis or all under the alternative hypothesis. • The proposal aims to find the non-linear transformations of the measurements that provides maximal correlation. These non-linear transformations are employed to decide if the measurements come from the distribution p(r|1) or from p(r|0). • We consider M secondary users and a PU in the same area; and the signal model takes into account the presence of local interferences
  30. Operation of the KCCA scheme Supélec, SCEE Rennes, France 30

    1. Autonomous testing: Each SU takes independent decisions based on its local test statistic. 2. Cooperative testing: Each SU transmits its local test statistic to the FC, where a global decision is finally made by combining the local test statistics. • Our scheme starts with an initial cooperative learning stage where the sensors measurements are transmitted to the FC. • Local statistics (near-optimal local decision functions) are extracted and broadcasted to the SUs, which can operate in one of two modes:

    • Features extracted during the sensing period • For each i-th sensor a data set is collected
  32. Kernel Canonical Correlation Analysis Supélec, SCEE Rennes, France 32 •

    Kernel-based learning The data are transformed into a high-dimensional feature space: Given a data set, a Gram matrix (or kernel matrix) contains all possible inner products e.g. standard Gaussian kernel: The inner product (in the feature space) can be calculated as positive definite kernel function k(.,.).

Global test: best one-dimensional approximation of the canonical variates • The maximization of with respect to the canonical vectors subject to the energy of the canonical variates and the norm of the projectors can be solved yielding the following generalized eigenvalue problem. where

  43. Supélec, SCEE Rennes, France 43 Conclusions • The proposed approach

    has been evaluated under different scenarios in which noise or noise plus interference are present, and for which different features are extracted during the sensing period. • Our approach operates in blind manner, and can be applied to time-changing environments, since it adapts itself by retraining from time to time. • For scenarios with only noise and using only energy measurements: the KCCA and the energy detector attain the same performance, since the obtained tests are close to the optimal NP detector. • In scenarios with noise plus interference, our KCCA detector obtains a significant gain over an energy detector.
  44. Supélec, SCEE Rennes, France 44 Conclusions • Regarding the experimental

    measurements: we corroborate the learning ability to detect the PU signal by exploiting the correlation among the received signals. • In fact, more challenging cases not taken into account in our simulation environment are also addressed, e.g. different noise variance at each SU as well as the interference power received at each SUs. • Our technique exhibits a much better performance than that of the energy detector as the interference level increases, since our KCCA framework exploits better the correlation of the received PU signal when more uncorrelated external interference is present.
