However, spectrum sensing expend a considerable amount of energy and time, which can be reduced by reliably predicting the primary user activities. In this paper, we present recurrent neural network models which are able to accurately predict the primary users’ activity in dynamic spectrum access (DSA) networks so that the secondary users can opportunistically access the unused spectrum. Using Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP) Software Defined Radios (SDRs), we collect over-the-air data from 8 primary users and train the learning models that we use in conjunction with a central spectrum sensor. We start by implementing two machine learning models: (i) traditional linear regression and (ii) neural network model using Long Short Term Memory (LSTM). These models are able to predict the primary users’ activity with 75% and 97% accuracy respectively. To further improve the prediction accuracy, we exploit the spatio-temporal correlation in the collected data by implementing a Convolutional LSTM model-which achieves 99% accuracy for predicting the long-term activity of primary users. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed models are able to successfully predict the primary users’ activities, thereby reducing both the under-utilizations and interference violations in DSA networks.","PeriodicalId":278172,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (DySPAN)","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115926335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We used a portable spectrum measurement equipment to gather data in fixed inland, mobile inland, and mobile maritime environments of the Western Philippine Nautical Highway (W-PNH). To characterize and quantify white space, we adopted calculated thresholding using the 80% method (ITU-R SM.1753). We compare the results obtained from the field measurements to that of using the geo-location database approach (FCC method). A discussion on the implication of the available TV spectrum to maritime vehicular communication and pertinent supporting policy formulation in the Philippine settings is also provided.","PeriodicalId":278172,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (DySPAN)","volume":"104 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115663718","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, IU location information is often highly sensitive and hence it is preferable to hide its true location under the detection of ESCs. In this paper, we design novel schemes to preserve both static and moving IU’s location information by adjusting IU’s radiation pattern and transmit power. We first formulate IU privacy protection problem for static IU. Due to the intractable nature of this problem, we propose a heuristic approach based on sampling. We also formulate the privacy protection problem for moving IUs, in which two cases are analyzed: (1) protect IU’s moving traces; (2) protect its real-time current location information. Our analysis provides insightful advice for IU to preserve its location privacy against ESCs. Simulation results show that our approach provides great protection for IU’s location privacy.","PeriodicalId":278172,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (DySPAN)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126646819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current literature studies architectures and signaling mechanisms for network selection, but rarely discuss proper bandwidth management for users over multiple HetNets. This paper considers users connected to multiple service providers in HetNets. A non-cooperative game is presented to determine the optimal bandwidth required at each service provider. The existence of a unique Nash equilibrium is shown. Results indicate that optimal allocation of spectrum is achieved when fairness is achieved. in other words, bandwidth available at any service provider is allocated equally to all users. This agrees with some empirical experimental studies available in the literature. Results also show that the proposed approach reduces user churning rate1, compared to traditional spectrum management approaches.

Given the observation, we propose to leverage deep learning techniques to explore latent features in individual user’s cellular traffic. However, it is unclear what kind of features are explorable. To answer this question, we conducted a one-month data collection campaign and carried out a thorough analysis over the generated dataset.

However, in complicated electromagnetic environment, identifying asynchronous modulated signals remains a challenging task. In order to improve the performance of asynchronous modulation classification in non-Gaussian noise, this paper proposes a novel BMC method based on complex correntropy and Conv1D (one-dimensional convolution neural network), namely CC-Conv1D. First, complex correntropy is employed to extract discriminating features from asynchronous modulated signals, while non-Gaussian noise can be effectively suppressed by complex correntropy. Furthermore, theoretical analysis is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of complex correntropy in feature extraction and non-Gaussian noise suppression. Moreover, Conv1D is adopted to identify different modulation schemes due to its merits of recognizing the shape of extracted features with low computational complexity. Experimental implementation is conducted via USRP N210 and USRP 2901, and the results show that our solution can achieve at least 97.5% accuracy in practical wireless communications.","PeriodicalId":278172,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE International Symposium on Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (DySPAN)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125700622","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
