Metaheuristic-Based Cepstral Sensing Technique for Prolonging Network Lifetime and Mitigating Primary User Emulation Attacks in Cognitive Radio Sensor Network by V. Abilasha, A. Karthikeyan

“…Conversely, by manipulating secondary users, Primary User Emulation Attack (PUEA) create severe threats to security and cause improper spectrum allocation and higher energy usage. To overcome this issue, we present a Cepstral Spectrum Sensing Multi-Hop Whale Optimization Algorithm (CSSMWA) and the proposed cepstral sensing uses a Logarithmic Spectral Derivative algorithm that aids in identifying authentic primary users from mimicked signals due to its feature-revealing properties, elevating the ability to identify the precision of PUEAs, perform better than other methods with low, moderate to high noise levels. …”
