In this paper, optimal multi-channel cooperative sensing strategies in cognitive radio networks are investigated. A cognitive radio network with multiple potential channels is considered. Secondary users cooperatively sense the channels and send the sensing results to a coordinator, in which energy detection with a soft decision rule is employed to estimate whether there are primary activities in the channels. An optimization problem is formulated, which maximizes the throughput of secondary users while keeping detection probability for each channel above a pre-defined threshold. In particular, two sensing modes are investigated: slotted-time sensing mode and continuous-time sensing mode. With a slotted-time sensing mode, the sensing time of each secondary user consists of a number of mini-slots, each of which can be used to sense one channel. The initial optimization problem is shown to be a nonconvex mixed-integer problem. A polynomial-complexity algorithm is proposed to solve the problem optimally. With a continuous-time sensing mode, the sensing time of each secondary user for a channel can be any arbitrary continuous value. The initial nonconvex problem is converted into a convex bilevel problem, which can be successfully solved by existing methods. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithms.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the focus is on recognizing convex optimization problems and then finding the most appropriate technique for solving them, and a comprehensive introduction to the subject is given. But the focus of this book is not on the optimization problem itself, but on the problem of finding the appropriate technique to solve it.
