LID - 10.3390/s22134659 [doi] LID - 4659 AB - Mobile cognitive radio networks (MCRNs) have arisen as an alternative mobile communication because of the spectrum scarcity in actual mobile technologies such as 4G and 5G networks. MCRN uses the spectral holes of a primary user (PU) to transmit its signals. It is essential to detect the use of a radio spectrum frequency, which is where the spectrum sensing is used to detect the PU presence and avoid interferences. In this part of cognitive radio, a third user can affect the network by making an attack called primary user emulation (PUE), which can mimic the PU signal and obtain access to the frequency. In this paper, we applied machine learning techniques to the classification process. A support vector machine (SVM), random forest, and K-nearest neighbors (KNN) were used to detect the PUE in simulation and emulation experiments implemented on a software-defined radio (SDR) testbed, showing that the SVM technique detected the PUE and increased the probability of detection by 8% above the energy detector in low values of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), being 5% above the KNN and random forest techniques in the experiments.
