Blockchain-Inspired Trust Management in Cognitive Radio Networks with Cooperative Spectrum Sensing
Cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) in cognitive radio networks (CRNs) enhances spectral decision-making precision but introduces vulnerabilities to malicious secondary user (SU) attacks. This paper proposes a decentralized trust and reputation management (TRM) framework to address these vulnerabilities, emphasizing the need to mitigate risks associated with centralized systems. Inspired by blockchain technology, we present a distributed TRM method for CSS in CRNs, significantly reducing the impact of malicious attacks. Our approach leverages a Proof of Trust (PoT) system to enhance the integrity of CSS, thereby improving the accuracy of spectral decision-making while reducing false positives and false negatives. In this system, SUs’ trust scores are dynamically updated based on their sensing reports, and they will collaboratively participate in new blocks' formation using the trust scores. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, indicating its potential to enhance security and reliability in CRNs.
期刊介绍:
As envisioned by Mark Weiser as early as 1991, pervasive computing systems and services have truly become integral parts of our daily lives. Tremendous developments in a multitude of technologies ranging from personalized and embedded smart devices (e.g., smartphones, sensors, wearables, IoTs, etc.) to ubiquitous connectivity, via a variety of wireless mobile communications and cognitive networking infrastructures, to advanced computing techniques (including edge, fog and cloud) and user-friendly middleware services and platforms have significantly contributed to the unprecedented advances in pervasive and mobile computing. Cutting-edge applications and paradigms have evolved, such as cyber-physical systems and smart environments (e.g., smart city, smart energy, smart transportation, smart healthcare, etc.) that also involve human in the loop through social interactions and participatory and/or mobile crowd sensing, for example. The goal of pervasive computing systems is to improve human experience and quality of life, without explicit awareness of the underlying communications and computing technologies.
The Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal (PMC) is a high-impact, peer-reviewed technical journal that publishes high-quality scientific articles spanning theory and practice, and covering all aspects of pervasive and mobile computing and systems.
