Abstract: Compressed sensing (CS) recently turns out to be an effective approach to alleviate the sampling bottleneck in wideband spectrum sensing. However, the computation overhead incurred by compressed reconstruction is nontrivial, especially in a power-constrained cognitive radio (CR). Moreover, additional information, which is generally unavailable in practice, is needed in conventional CS-based wideband spectrum sensing schemes to improve the reconstruction quality as well as the detection performance. To address these issues, this paper proposes a novel decentralized scheme for cooperative compressed spectrum sensing in distributed CR networks. Our key observation is that the sparse signals are unnecessary to be reconstructed since the task of spectrum sensing is only interested in the spectrum occupancy status. The major novelty of the proposed scheme relates to the use of Karcher mean as a statistic indicating the spectrum occupancy status, thereby eliminating the compressed reconstruction stage and significantly reducing the computational complexity. Considering limited communication resources per CR, a decentralized implementation based on alternating direction method of multipliers is presented to calculate the Karcher mean via one-hop communications only. The superior performance of the proposed scheme is demonstrated by comparing with several existing decentralized schemes in terms of detection performance, communication overhead, and computational complexity.
