Abstract
This chapter aims to present a detailed case study of a link signature assisted PUE attack detection scheme. As discussed in the previous chapter, one of the main hurdles making the design of a PUE attack detection scheme nontrivial is the FCC’s requirement that no change should be made to the PU. Due to this requirement, most of the existing detection methods are designed solely for the SU side. Nonetheless, if one can deploy a nearby helper node that holds similar behavioral and physical properties as the PU and allow it to cooperate with the SU, the PUE detection performance may be further improved without disobeying the FCC’s requirement. To convey this idea, in this chapter, some background on link signature will be introduced first, followed by an illustration of how the helper node can exploit its physical closeness to the PU to accurately authenticate the PU signal. Then, the overall link signature based PUE attack detection algorithm is illustrated.

Although the helper node can authenticate the PU signal and directly notify SUs, the link signature based scheme can work even when the helper node is sleeping [1].
