Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of location privacy leakage in database-driven cognitive radio network (CRN), this paper proposes a privacy-preserving scheme based on SpaceTwist. With the help of query server, the scheme expands incremental nearest neighbor query to database centered on anchor to obtain the available channels for primary users around anchor. The database returns the query results to the query server. The query server judges the available channels around the secondary user according to the formula of maximum transmission power, and allocates the channels according to the power allowed by the secondary user, so that the secondary user can access the channel with the best service quality. Security analysis shows that the secondary user does not need to share location with the database in this scheme, which well protects the location privacy of secondary user. Performance analysis shows that compared with other existing schemes, the proposed scheme has obvious advantages in communication overhead and computing overhead of secondary user.
