Cognitive node selection and assignment algorithms for weighted cooperative sensing in radar systems
Pages 751 - 756
Abstract
For the radar spectrum to be shared efficiently a good sensing capability within a secondary cognitive communication system is required. In this paper, the swept radar's rotation mechanism is explored to improve the sensing performance. Several node teaming algorithms are proposed for cooperative sensing along with the use of weighted sensing algorithms in a swept radar scenario. These teaming algorithms are considered in respect of the mobile team node selection and the sensing task assignments of the team nodes. Performance results show that selecting appropriate sensing nodes to join the sensing-active team in different sensing cycles and exploring their frequency diversity (to perform the sensing task at the most suitable frequency subchannels), yields a substantial improvement in performance. In addition, it is illustrated that proper node teaming algorithms should be chosen based on several key factors, including the characteristics of the primary signal and the sensing team node's computational capabilities.
