Cognitive radio is a far effective method to solve the problem of limited spectrum resources in the wireless communication in cloud manufacturing, involved in kinds of networks. Cooperative spectrum sensing, as a research hotspot in cognitive radio, can improve the sensing quality in cognitive radio networks, but it will also bring in extra cost when forming coalitions and conduct cooperative spectrum sensing. Although CSS based on coalition formation games can significantly conquer this problem by improving the sensing quality and at the same time reducing extra cost, it is much too complex with many nodes. In this paper, we analyze the complexity of the proposed coalition formation (CF) algorithm, and then present an enhanced Selecting SUs and Coalition Formation (SSCF) algorithm where coalition formation and cooperative spectrum sensing is carried out with SUs selected before. In addition, it is shown that SSCF can lower the complexity of CF by reducing the number of nodes for coalition formation while hardly bringing down the sensing quality of CF with at most 0.5% decrease of utility in common case and at average 3% increase of that.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
