Crowdsourced Misuse Detection in Dynamic Spectrum Sharing Wireless Networks
To address the scarcity of spectrum, FCC mandated
the dynamic sharing of spectrum among the different tiers of
users. The success of spectrum sharing, however, relies on the
automated enforcement of spectrum policies. We focus on ex
post spectrum enforcement during/after the occurrence of a
potentially harmful event, but before/after an actual harm has
occurred. The major challenges addressed by us are to ensure
maximum channel coverage in a given region of enforcement,
accurate and reliable detection of enforcement, and selection of
an efficient algorithm to select entities for detection of violation.
We adopt a crowdsourced methodology to monitor spectrum
usage. We ensure maximum coverage of the given area by
dividing it into equal-sized regions and solve the enforcement
problem by a divide and conquer mechanism over the entire
region. We use a variant of the Multiple Choice Secretary
algorithm to select volunteers. We finally simulate the
enforcement framework and analyze the results.
