The Byzantine attack in cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS), also known as the spectrum
sensing data falsification (SSDF) attack in the literature, is one of the key adversaries to the …

Cognitive radio (CR) is regarded as an emerging technology, which equips wireless devices
with the capability to adapt their operating parameters on the fly based on the radio …

In this survey, we present a comprehensive list of major known security threats within a
cognitive radio network (CRN) framework. We classify attack techniques based on the type …

This paper presents a systematic approach to exploiting TV white space (TVWS) for device-
to-device (D2D) communications with the aid of the existing cellular infrastructure. The goal …

Kernel-based learning (KBL) methods have recently become prevalent in many engineering
applications, notably in signal processing and communications. The increased interest is …

This paper investigates the issue of cooperative spectrum sensing with a crowd of low-end
personal spectrum sensors (such as smartphones, tablets, and in-vehicle sensors), where …

Cyber-security threats and issues have been exponentially increasing over the last two
decades, including in cognitive radio networks. These attacks and vulnerabilities negatively …

Collaborative spectrum sensing has been regarded as a promising approach to enable
secondary users to detect primary users by exploiting spatial diversity. In this paper, we …

Collaborative spectrum sensing is vulnerable to data falsification attacks, where malicious
secondary users (attackers) submit manipulated sensing reports to mislead the fusion …

In this paper, we address the challenging and important cooperative spectrum sensing
(CSS) problem with M-ary quantized data under spectrum sensing data falsification (SSDF) …
