Abstract

In this paper, we analyze the spectrum occupancy in
cognitive radio networks (CRNs) using different machine learning
techniques. Both supervised techniques [naive Bayesian classifier
(NBC), decision trees (DT), support vector machine (SVM), linear
regression (LR)] and unsupervised algorithms [hidden Markov
model (HMM)] are studied to find the best technique with the
highest classification accuracy (CA). A detailed comparison of the
supervised and unsupervised algorithms in terms of the compu-
tational time and the CA is performed. The classified occupancy
status is further utilized to evaluate the blocking probability of
secondary user for future time slots, which can be used by sys-
tem designers to define spectrum-allocation and spectrum-sharing
policies. Numerical results show that SVM is the best algorithm
among all the supervised and unsupervised classifiers. Based on
this, we proposed a new SVM algorithm by combining it with a
firefly algorithm (FFA), which is shown to outperform all the other
algorithms.
