Abstract—This paper compares the impact of using an errordetection code and an error correction code for cooperativesequential sensing in cognitive radios. The analyzed systemmodel is a distributed parallel detection network in which eachsecondary user (SU) sends a soft decision in the form of quantizedlocal log-likelihood ratio (LLR) to the fusion center (FC), whichmakes the final decision in a sequential manner. At each SU, thequantized LLRs are converted to bits using Gray mapping. Thesebits are then channel coded and transmitted using binary phaseshift keying (BPSK) to the FC. The reporting-channels betweenthe SUs and the FC may cause errors in the decision statistics. Incase of an error detecting code, the decision statistics detected inerror are dropped while in case of an error correcting code, thedecision statistics are used anyway. The performances of thesetwo schemes are also compared to the case where no channelcoding is used. It is shown that even a simple error correctingcode gives huge improvement in the performance of sequentialsensing while error detecting code may even perform worse thanthe case where no channel coding scheme is used.
I. INTRODUCTION
Cognitive radios hold the promise of efficient spectrum uti-
lization through dynamic spectrum access. Available spectrum
opportunities can be efficiently found by multiple secondary
users (SUs) through collaborative sensing. We consider decen-
tralized cooperative sensing scenario where each SU sends a
local decision statistic to a fusion center (FC) which makes
a final decision regarding the presence of primary user (PU)
transmission in the band of interest. Sequential detection and
in particular, sequential probability ratio test (SPRT) [1]–[3] is
an appealing candidate for such cooperative sensing scenario
as it minimizes the detection time given the constraints on
the probabilities of false alarm and missed detection. In this
paper, we consider SPRT at the FC. Sequential fusion at the
FC based on the decision statistics from the local sensors has
been considered in the cognitive radio literature [4], [5].
In [6], the effects of quantization and channel errors on
the performance of soft decision based sequential sensing
have been studied. The reporting channel are modeled using
a general bit error probability model in [6] and it is assumed
that the corrupted soft decisions will be used anyway. In many
cases, the transmitted packet incorporates an error detection
code such that the received packets detected in error are
dropped altogether. If the detection of errors is conveyed to the
SUs, they can retransmit the data if an error control mechanism
such as automatic repeat request (ARQ) is in use. Note that the
feedback and retransmissions increase the reporting overhead
and the overall sensing time. In this paper we are interested
in finding if any significant delays are experienced in decision
making (at same reliability level) by using error detecting or
error correcting codes. Moreover we want to compare their
performances in different channel conditions and coding rates.
We consider sequential detection at the FC for distributed
detection using local log-likelihood ratio (LLR) based soft
decisions. Each SU quantizes its LLR and sends it to the FC
over an erroneous reporting channel. The FC makes the final
decision sequentially. We consider maximum output entropy
(MOE) quantization [7] which is asymptotically similar to
the optimal quantizer for Gaussian signals in the low signal-
to-noise ratio (SNR) regime for independent and identically
distributed (i.i.d.) observations [8]. The reporting channels
are assumed to be additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN).
Later the case of Rayleigh faded multipath channels is also
considered. The contributions of this paper are as follows:
• Expressions for the average sample number (ASN) are
derived for the sequential detection scheme while using
error detection and correction codes for the reporting
channels.
• Comparison of the sequential detection schemes is carried
out with following different channel coding schemes: no
channel coding, error detection and error correction.
• It is shown that the use of error correcting codes as
compared to the case of no channel coding gives huge
savings in the number of samples required to achieve the
same error probabilities at the FC. On the other hand, the
use of error detecting codes and subsequent dropping of
decision statistics may result in increase in the ASN and
their performance may even become worse than the case
of not using any channel coding.
The paper is organized as follows. In Section II, system
model for the soft decision based SPRT is presented in the
considered scenario followed by their performance analysis in
Section III. Simulation results are presented in IV. Finally,
concluding remarks are given in Section V.
II. SYSTEM MODEL
In this paper, we consider that there are several spatially-
located SUs which cooperate to sense a common PU. The
problem of PU sensing is formulated as a binary hypothesis
test with H0 being the null hypothesis that the PU is inactive
while H1 being the alternative hypothesis that the PU is

active. For cooperative sensing (CS), a distributed sequential
approach is employed such that each of the SUs summarize
the observations and send a decision statistic to the FC which
employs sequential detection.
Fig. 1 presents the considered framework for studying the
cooperative sensing performance in the presence of quantiza-
tion and reporting-channel errors. The nth SU evaluates an
LLR Ln from the received observations. The LLR Ln is then
quantized to one of D levels using maximum output entropy
(MOE) scheme such that each of the levels has the same
probability mass function (pmf) value of 1/D. The quantized
LLR, denoted by Lsun , is then converted to d = log2 D
bit sequence Ssun using Gray mapping. These bits are then
coded using a channel coding scheme and transmitted using
binary phase shift keying (BPSK) over the non-ideal reporting
channel to the FC. The received d-bit sequence from the nth
SU at the FC and corresponding soft decision are denoted by
Sfcn and Lfc
n , respectively.

Fig. 1. Considered scenario for cooperative sensing: each SU evaluates itssufficient statistic (Ln), quantizes it to form a soft decision Lsu
n using maxi-mum output entropy (MOE) quantization and then transmits a correspondingd-bit sequence Ssu
n using a channel coding scheme. Due to reporting-channel
errors, the fusion center (FC) receives a symbol Sfcn corresponding to soft
decision Lfcn . The FC then combines the received soft decisions from the
cooperating SUs to make a final decision in a sequential manner.
At the FC, the optimal fusion rule for a given quantization
scheme under the assumption of independent sensor obser-
vations in the presence of channel errors is the sum of log
likelihood ratios (LLRs) of the received soft decisions [2].
The LLR of the received decision statistic (Lfcn ), denoted by
λn, is given by
λn , logP(Lfc
n |H1)
P(Lfcn |H0)
∀ n = 1, .., k. (1)

In the above expressions A = 1−βcs
αcsand B = βcs
1−αcs. Here αcs
and βcs denote the constraints on the false alarm probability
and missed detection probability, respectively.
III. PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
In this section, we evaluate the performance parameters of
interest for the SPRT, namely, the average sample number
(ASN). The ASN for a SPRT scheme is defined as the number
of decision statistics required on average for arriving at a
decision under either hypothesis such that the performance
constraints on βcs and αcs are satisfied. To do so, we need to
evaluate the distribution of the LLR λn for the SPRT in terms
of a given channel condition and the distributions of LLRs
Ln. The first step in this process is to evaluate the distribution
of the quantized LLR Lsun at the nth SU in terms of the given
distribution of Ln. The reporting channel errors may cause the
distribution of the received quantized LLR Lfcn to differ from
that of the transmitted quantized LLR. Therefore, the next
step is to evaluate the distribution of Lfcn . The final step is to
evaluate the distributions of λn. Consequently, the distribution
of λn under both hypotheses can be evaluated in terms of a
given channel statistics and the distributions of the LLRs Ln.
Given the distribution of Ln, the pmf of the transmitted soft
decision Lnsu can be calculated using the fact that each of the
levels has the same probability mass function (pmf) value of
1/D. See [8] for details. The pmf of the received soft decision
Lfcn at the FC under either hypothesis is given in [9] by
P(Lfcn =li,n |Hj , Pb) =
D∑
k=1
Pdik,n
b (1−Pb)d−dik,nP(Lsu
n =lk,n |Hj),
(3)
where dik,n is the Hamming distance between si,n and sk,n,
while si,n is the d-bit sequence corresponding to li,n. Here
Pb is bit error probability (BEP) of the reporting-channel. The
pmf of Lfcn can be evaluated from (3) under the assumption
that Pb is known. This is a reasonable assumption as we know
the modulation scheme and the SNR values for the reporting
channel. For example, Pb for using BPSK in AWGN channel
is given [10] by
Pb = Q(√
2γ). (4)
Similarly the BEP for BPSK in Rayleigh fading channel is
given [10] by
Pb =1

(
1−

γ

)
, (5)
where γ = γE[a2] with a being the amplitude of the channel
impulse response.
Let Ks denote the number of decision statistics after which
SPRT makes a final decision. Note that Ks is a random
variable and the ASNs for the SPRT conditioned on either
of the two hypotheses are given by [2]
E[Ks |H0, Pb] =αcs logA+ (1− αcs) logB
E[λn |H0, Pb]
and E[Ks |H1, Pb] =(1− βcs) logA+ βcs logB
E[λn |H1, Pb], (6)

where E[·] is the expectation operator. Here E[Ks |H0, Pb]and E[Ks |H1, Pb] can be numerically computed from the
distribution of Ln, Pb, definition of λn and the pmf of λn,
which is the same as that for Lfcn . Now the ASN (or the
average number of SU statistics) for the SPRT is given by
Kb(Pb) = max {E[Ks |H0, Pb], E[Ks |H1, Pb]} . (7)
A. Error Detection Code
For the case of error detection code, the d-bit decision
statistic is dropped if any of the d decoded bits are detected
in error. Let PA denote the probability of the event A that
the error is not detected in a decoded bit. Since the errors
in the decoded bits of a d-bit decision statistic are i.i.d.,
the probability that the d-bit decision statistic is not detected
in error is P dA
. Since the decision statistic is dropped if it
is detected in error, the probability of dropping a decision
statistic, denoted by Pdrop, is given by
Pdrop = 1− P dA. (8)
An error detection code has limits on the number of bits
it can detect. For example, a repetition code (r, 1) can detect
only r−1 bit errors. Therefore certain amount of errors in the
decoded bit may not be detected. If we denote Ae to be the
event that the decoded bit is in error, then the probability of
error Ped for the decoded bit given that the decision statistic
is not dropped is given by
Ped = P(Ae|A) =P(Ae ∩ A)
P(A). (9)
The ASN for using the considered scheme in a channel with
BEP Ped can be evaluated from (7) by substituting Pb by Ped.
Moreover, taking into account the rate of dropping the decision
statistics, the ASN for a error detection code is given by
Ked =Kb(Ped)
1− Pdrop
. (10)
B. Error Correction Code
In case of an error correction code, the decision statistics are
used anyway. Therefore if we denote the bit error probability
for the coded bit as Pec, the ASN Kec for an error correcting
code can be calculated from (7) by substituting Pb by Pec,
i.e.,
Kec = Kb(Pec). (11)
IV. RESULTS
For the results, an orthogonal frequency division multiplex-
ing (OFDM) based PU signal is considered while the local
detector is an autocorrelation detector [4]. The autocorrelation
coefficient based LLR for the nth SU is given by [4]
Ln = −M log(1− ρ2n) +2Mρn(ρn − ρn)
1− ρ2n, (12)
where
• ρn is the maximum likelihood estimate of the autocorre-
lation coefficient,
• M + Td (M ≫ Td) is the number of received observa-
tions,
• Td is the useful symbol length in an OFDM symbol,
• ρn = Tc
Td+Tc· SNRl
1+SNRlis the true autocorrelation coefficient
under the alternative hypothesis, and
• Tc is the cyclic prefix length in an OFDM symbol.
• SNRl is the SNR on the listening channel at a SU.
Under the two hypotheses, the distributions of Ln can be
derived from the distribution of ρn [4] and are given by
H0 : Ln ∼ N (mn0, σ2n0)
H1 : Ln ∼ N (mn1, σ2n1), (13)
where mn0=−M log(1−ρ2n)−2Mρ2
n
1−ρ2n
, mn1=−M log(1−ρ2n),
σ2n0=
2Mρ2
n
(1−ρ2n)
2 and σ2n1=2Mρ2n.
All the listening channels are considered AWGN channels
with SNRl = −4dB while Tc = 8, Td = 32, and M = 400.
The constraints on the probabilities of false alarm and missed
detection are αcs = 0.01 and βcs = 0.01, respectively.
Without loss of any generality, a simple repetition code
(r, 1) with repetition rate r is assumed for channel coding
for convenience. The repetition code (r, 1) can detect r − 1errors while it can correct
⌊
r−12
⌋
errors. For a repetition code
in the error detection mode, no error is detected in the decoded
bit if all the r bits are same (either all or none of the bits in
error). Therefore we have
PA = (1− Pb)r + P r
b . (14)
Consequently the rate of dropping a d-bit decision statistic
while using the repetition code (r, 1) for error detection is
given by
Pdrop = 1− P dA
= 1− [(1− Pb)r + P r
b ]d. (15)
while the probability of error for a decoded bit at the FC is
given by
Ped =P(all r bits in error)
P(A)
=P rb
(1− Pb)r + P rb
. (16)
The probability of error for the decoded bit using the repetition
code (r, 1) for error correction is given by
Pec = 1−B(
⌊
r − 1
2
⌋
, r, Pb), (17)
where B(k, n, p) is the Binomial cumulative distribution func-
tion with parameters k, n, and p.
Note that we will be considering the definition of signal-to-
noise-ratio (SNR) to be γ = Eb/N0 based on energy per bit
Eb instead of energy per coded bit Ec = rEb. Here N0 = 2σ2n
is the noise spectral density with σ2n being the noise variance.
The presence of a frame header and additional information like
interference levels, channel states and occupancy information,
or probabilities for the channel occupancy [11], may result

Theoretical and simulated average sample number (ASN) vs. SNR(dB) for SPRT schemes in AWGN reporting channels for the following threecases: no coding, error detection (r = 3), and error correction (r = 3). Hered = 2, αcs = 0.01, and βcs = 0.01. It can be seen that the simulatedvalues get closer to the theoretical values as ASN increase for all the threecases. For low SNR values, the required ASN values for same performanceparameters increase in the following order: error correction (r = 3), errordetection (r = 3) and no coding. However, the performances are similar athigh SNR values in all the three cases.
in a significant overhead. Therefore, the relative increase in
the transmitted data and energy needed while using the above
definition of the SNR for the channel coding may be small.
The major savings take place if one can refrain from sending
the decision statistics as in the case of censoring [12].
Fig. 2 shows the theoretical and simulated ASN curves
as a function of SNR (dB) in AWGN reporting channels
for three cases: no coding, error detecting code (r = 3),
and error correcting code (r = 3). The number of bits for
quantizing the LLRs is d = 2. For simulations, number of
realization used for evaluating the ASN is 2000. The ASN
for the three cases can be evaluated from (6), (7), (10), and
(11), which in turn depend on the pmf of Lfcn . The pmf of
Lfcn is implemented numerically using (3) for convenience as
a closed form expression for it is difficult to obtain. It can be
seen that simulation results are close to theoretical values. Note
that ASN given by (6) for asymptotic case, i.e., Ks → ∞.
That explains why the curves for theory and simulation get
close as average ASN increase. There are huge savings in
ASN while using the repetition code (3, 1) for correcting one
error as compared to the case when no coding is used. On
the other hand, the performance of the repetition code (3, 1)
for detecting two errors is worse than the no coding case.
However, the performances are similar at high SNR values in
all the three cases.
Fig. 3 shows the theoretical ASN curves as a function
of SNR (dB) in AWGN reporting channels for d = 1 and
d = 3. For d = 1, there are huge savings in ASN while
using repetition code for error correction (r = 3) and error
detection (r = 3) as compared to the case of no channel
coding. However, the performance for error detection scheme
degrades as the number of bits for quantization is increased

to d = 3 and its performance is worse than the case of no-
channel coding. On the other hand, the performance of error
correction code (r = 3) improves when the number of bits for
quantization are increased.
Fig. 4 shows the theoretical ASN curves as a function of
SNR (dB) in AWGN and Rayleigh fading reporting channels
for the three cases: no coding, error detection (r = 5), and
error correction (r = 5). Here E[a2] = 1 for the Rayleigh
fading channel and d = 2. The performances of all the
schemes degrade in the Rayleigh channels as compared to the
AWGN channels. However the performance of error detecting
code (r = 5), which can detect 4 errors, is worse than no
coding case in both the channel conditions. On the other hand,
there are huge performance gain for using error correction
code (r = 5), which can detect 2 errors. For Rayleigh channel,
the error correction code (r = 5) performs better than the no-
coding case even for high SNR values.
From Figs. 2, 3, and 4, it can be seen that the error
correcting codes outperform the no-coding case in the low
SNR regime as expected. However it is surprising that the
error detecting code performs worse than the no-coding case
in most of the cases except d = 1, when its performance
is better than that in the no-coding case and is very close to
performance of the error correcting case. This difference in the
performances of the error detection and error correction codes
is because of the use of soft decision based local decision
statistics. Soft decisions convey level of confidence with which
a decision is made. With the use of channel coding and Gray
mapping, the reporting-channel errors lower the confidence of
the decision without changing the decision most of the time.
On the other hand, error detection code throws away even a
decision statistic which has a small error. With increase in
number of bits for quantization d and repetition rate r, the
probability of error Ped decreases but the rate of dropping
soft decisions increases rapidly. Therefore the error correcting

sequential sensing with increase in r and d while the ASN for
the error detecting code becomes worse.
V. CONCLUSION
In this paper, comparison of error correcting codes and error
detecting codes has been carried out to find their suitability
to the decentralized sequential sensing in the presence of im-
perfect reporting channels. Each SU is considered to quantize
the LLR to d-bits using MOE quantization. The FC employs
sequential detection. As an example, a simple repetition code
(r, 1), which can detect r − 1 bit errors and correct⌊
r−12
⌋
errors, has been considered for encoding these bits for sending
them from the SUs to the FC.
It is shown that there are huge savings in terms of average
number of decision statistics required for achieving the same
detection performance by using simple repetition code for
error correction instead of no-coding at all. On the other hand,
error detection improves performance only when the number
of bits for quantization d and repetition rate r are both low
while the performance is worse than a no-coding case for high
d or high r.
