Bi-directional Long Short-Term Memory with Bird Mating Optimizer based Spectrum Sensing Technique for Cognitive Radio Networks

Abstract

Cognitive radio networks (CRN) enable the wireless devices to sense the radio spectrum, determine the frequency state channels, and reconfigure the communication variables for satisfying the QoS needs by reducing the energy utilization. In cognitive radio, the detection of principal user signals is crucial for secondary users in order to make the best use of available spectrum (CR). The problem with conventional spectrum sensing approaches is that they have a high rate of missed detections and false alarms, which makes it difficult to make effective use of the spectrum. In instruction to recover the correctness of the detection of free spectrum, deep learning-based spectrum sensing is employed. For resolving the drawbacks of traditional energy detection models, this paper presents a new spectral sensing technique for cognitive radio networks (SST-CRN). Recently published research in spectrum sensing has placed a high value on deep learning that is model-agnostic as a result of this. In particular, long-short term memory (LSTM) networks perform exceptionally well at extracting spatial and temporal information from input data in deep learning. The proposed model, Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM) with Bird Mating Optimization (BMO), makes it possible to create nonlinear threshold-based systems more quickly and easily than previously possible. The proposed Bi-LSTM with BMO technique involves two stages of operations namely offline and online. The offline stage creates the non-linear threshold value to detect energy. In addition, the online stage automated selects a decision function saved in offline stage for determining the existence of primary user. The experiments were carried out and the results were analyzed using the help of the RadioML2016.10b dataset. A greater spectrum detection performance over previous sensing models has been obtained using a combination of the B-LSTM model and the BMO model, it has been discovered.
