Location Aided Cooperative Detection of Primary User Emulation Attacks in Cognitive Wireless Sensor Networks Using Nonparametric Techniques

Algorithm 2

Nonparametric PUE attack detection.

Inputs:

PU position:

Set of SU positions: ,

Vector of RSS values:

Detection threshold and “PFA adjustment” parameter: ,

Steps:

(1) Obtain the PU to SUs distances ,  .

(2) Compute the test statistic using (16).

(3) if    then

(4)  attack_flag ← true

(5) else if    then

(6)  attack_flag ← true with probability

(7) else

(8)  attack_flag ← false

(9) end if

(10) return  attack_flag
