Method for resisting simulated main customer attack in cognitive radio

A method for resisting primary user impersonation attacks in cognitive radio belongs to the technical field of radio communication, particularly relates to sensing and processing of the signals in the cognitive radio system and identification of a signal source. The method comprises the following steps: reducing noise of a composite signal which is received during a spectrum sensing process, estimating number of the signal sources in the composite signal, and reconstructing various signals by a Capon beamformer; separating the signals of different radios, focusing the signals of different radios to separate out a transient signal and a modulation signal, analyzing the transient signal by wavelet transformation; extracting characteristic parameters and realizing identification of the signal source. The method for resisting the primary user impersonation attacks helps realize effective identification of the signal source and effectively resist the primary user impersonation attacks; and the method has a wide application scope, does not change a working mode of the existing primary user network, and satisfies operation requirements of FCC for a cognitive network.
