Location Privacy Preservation in Cognitive Radio Networks

Abstract

The rapid proliferation of wireless technology offers the promise of many societal and individual benefits by enabling pervasive networking and communication via personal devices such as smartphones, PDAs, computers. This explosion of wireless devices and mobile data creates an ever-increasing demand for more radio spectrum. The spectrum scarcity issue is expected to occur due to the limited spectrum resources. However, previous studies [15] have shown that the usage of many spectrum bands (e.g., UHF bands) is inefficient, which motivates the concept of cognitive radio networks (CRNs) [22, 24, 25]. In CRNs, secondary (unlicensed) users (SUs) are allowed to access licensed spectrum bands given that it only incurs minimal tolerable or no interference to primary (licensed) users (PUs).
