Prediction-Based Spectrum Sensing Framework for Cognitive Radio

This paper presents a hardware-software deep learning architecture for prediction-based spectrum sensing in Cognitive Radio (CR) applications. A convolutional neural network-based predictor for spectrum occupancy was trained using the band power from I/Q samples acquired by a softwaredefined radio (...

A convolutional neural network-based predictor for spectrum occupancy was trained using the band power from I/Q samples acquired by a softwaredefined radio (SDR). Additionally, a second neural engine was trained for radio frequency (RF) frame detection based on spectrograms. We implemented a transfer-learning solution using a You-Only-LookOnce version 8 nano model with a synthetic dataset comprising thousands of wireless signals, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and collision frames. Once trained, the two neural networks were transferred to a Raspberry Pi 5 - an affordable single-board computer - connected to two (one for Rx, one for Tx) ADALM-PLUTO SDR systems for benchmarking using over-the-air signals in the 2.4 GHz band.
