Detection of Emulation Attacks in Cognitive Radio Networks using Heuristic Techniques
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of primary user emulation attacks (PUEAs) in cognitive radio networks (CRNs). These attackers imitate the signal characteristics of primary users (PUs), preventing secondary users (SUs) from accessing their assigned spectrum. The research focuses on detecting PUEAs using the time difference of arrivals (TDOA) to detect the attacker and reduce detection errors using heuristic techniques. Differential evolution (DE) and cuckoo search (CS) algorithms are utilized to optimize detection accuracy. Simulation results confirm that the proposed CS algorithm outperforms and gives better performance as compared to the DE algorithm.
