Location privacy preservation in secure crowdsourcing-based cooperative spectrum sensing
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2016 , Article)
Spectrum sensing is one of the most essential components of cognitive radio since it detects whether the spectrum is available or not. However, spectrum sensing accuracy is often degraded due to path loss, interference, ...
Sparsity-aware multiple relay selection in large multi-hop decode-and-forward relay networks
(
Springer International Publishing
, 2016 , Article)
In this paper, we propose and investigate two novel techniques to perform multiple relay selection in large multi-hop decode-and-forward relay networks. The two proposed techniques exploit sparse signal recovery theory to ...
