Abstract

The most important challenge in cognitive radio 
networks is detection of primary user signal. Cooperation 
among secondary users increases the performance of the system 
significantly. In cooperative sensing in hostile environments, 
intruder nodes send false sensing results to the fusion center and 
make the fusion center erroneously decides about the presence 
of the primary user. Several detection methods have been 
proposed to nullify effects of malicious nodes. But in most of 
these scenarios, the fading effects are not considered. In this 
paper, we propose a method to identify trustworthy nodes in 
hostile environments, considering fading effects. We introduce a 
modified filtering method to reduce the effects of malicious 
nodes. We also propose new trust factors to be assigned to the 
nodes for increasing the effects of trustworthy nodes in the final 
decision.
