Binary Inference for Primary User Separation in Cognitive Radio Networks

Spectrum sensing problem, which focuses on detecting the presence of primary users (PUs) in the cognitive radio (CR) network receives much attention recently. In this paper, we introduce the PU separation problem, which concerns with the issue of distinguishing and characterizing the activities of PUs in the context of collaborative spectrum sensing and monitor selection. Observations of secondary users (SUs) are modeled as boolean OR mixtures …
