In this paper, we analyze a Cognitive Radio-based Internet-of-Things (CR-IoT) network comprising a Primary Network Provider (PNP) and an IoT operator. The PNP uses its licensed spectrum to serve its users. The IoT operator identifies the white-space in the licensed band at regular intervals and opportunistically exploits them to serve the IoT nodes under its coverage. IoT nodes are battery-operated devices that require periodical energy replenishment. We employ the Microwave Power Transfer (MPT) technique for its superior energy transfer efficiency over long-distance. The white-space detection process is not always perfect and the IoT operator may jeopardize the PNPs transmissions due to misdetection. To reduce the possibility of such interferences, some of the spectrum holes must remain unutilized, even when the IoT nodes have data to transmit. The IoT operator needs to decide what percentage of the white-space to keep unutilized and how to judiciously use the rest for data transmission and energy-replenishment to maintain an optimal balance between the average interference inflicted on PNPs users and the Quality-of-Service (QoS) experienced by IoT nodes. Due to the periodic nature of the spectrum-sensing process, Discrete Time Markov Chain (DTMC) method can realistically model this framework. In literature, activities of the PNP and IoT operator are assumed to be mutually exclusive, for ease of analysis. Our model incorporates possible overlaps between these activities, making the analysis more realistic. Using our model, the sustainability region of the CR-IoT network can be obtained. The accuracy of our analysis is demonstrated via extensive simulation.

Finding an optimal sensing policy for a particular access policy and sensing scheme is a laborious combinatorial problem that requires the system model parameters to be known. In practise the parameters or the model itself may not be completely known making reinforcement learning methods appealing. In this paper a non-parametric reinforcement learning-based method is developed for sensing and accessing multi-band radio spectrum in multi-user cognitive radio networks. A suboptimal sensing policy search algorithm is proposed for a particular multi-user multi-band access policy and the randomized Chair-Varshney rule. The randomized Chair-Varshney rule is used to reduce the probability of false alarms under a constraint on the probability of detection that protects the primary user. The simulation results show that the proposed method achieves a sum profit (e.g. data rate) close to the optimal sensing policy while achieving the desired probability of detection.
It is well known that building analytical performance models in practice is difficult because it requires a considerable degree of proficiency in the underlying mathematics. In this paper, we propose a machine-learning approach to derive performance models from data. We focus on queuing networks, and crucially exploit a deterministic approximation of their average dynamics in terms of a compact system of ordinary differential equations. We encode these equations into a recurrent neural network whose weights can be directly related to model parameters. This allows for an interpretable structure of the neural network, which can be trained from system measurements to yield a white-box parameterized model that can be used for prediction purposes such as what-if analyses and capacity planning. Using synthetic models as well as a real case study of a load-balancing system, we show the effectiveness of our technique in yielding models with high predictive power.
Cognitive radios hold tremendous promise for increasing the spectral efficiency of wireless communication systems. In this paper, an adaptive bit allocation algorithm is presented for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) CR systems operating in a frequency selective fading environment. The algorithm maximizes the CR system throughput in the presence of narrowband interference, while guaranteeing a BER below a predefined threshold. The effect of imperfect channel estimation on the algorithms performance is also studied.
Spectrum sensing is an essential enabling functionality for cognitive radio networks to detect spectrum holes and opportunistically use the under-utilized frequency bands without causing harmful interference to legacy networks. This paper introduces a novel wideband spectrum sensing technique, called multiband joint detection, which jointly detects the signal energy levels over multiple frequency bands rather than consider one band at a time. The proposed strategy is efficient in improving the dynamic spectrum utilization and reducing interference to the primary users. The spectrum sensing problem is formulated as a class of optimization problems in interference limited cognitive radio networks. By exploiting the hidden convexity in the seemingly non-convex problem formulations, optimal solutions for multiband joint detection are obtained under practical conditions. Simulation results show that the proposed spectrum sensing schemes can considerably improve the system performance. This paper establishes important principles for the design of wideband spectrum sensing algorithms in cognitive radio networks.
The proliferation of IoT devices in smart homes, hospitals, and enterprise networks is widespread and continuing to increase in a superlinear manner. With this unprecedented growth, how can one assess the security of an IoT network holistically? In this article, we explore two dimensions of security assessment, using vulnerability information of IoT devices and their underlying components ($textit{compositional security scores}$) and SIEM logs captured from the communications and operations of such devices in a network ($textit{dynamic activity metrics}$) to propose the notion of an $textit{attack circuit}$. These measures are used to evaluate the security of IoT devices and the overall IoT network, demonstrating the effectiveness of attack circuits as practical tools for computing security metrics (exploitability, impact, and risk to confidentiality, integrity, and availability) of heterogeneous networks. We propose methods for generating attack circuits with input/output pairs constructed from CVEs using natural language processing (NLP) and with weights computed using standard security scoring procedures, as well as efficient optimization methods for evaluating attack circuits. Our system provides insight into possible attack paths an adversary may utilize based on their exploitability, impact, or overall risk. We have performed experiments on IoT networks to demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed techniques.
