Abstract: Cognitive radio networks are software controlled radios with the ability to allocate and reallocate spectrum depending upon the demand. Although they promise an extremely optimal use of the spectrum, they also bring in the challenges of misuse and attacks. Selfish attacks among other attacks are the most challenging, in which a secondary user or an unauthorized user with unlicensed spectrum pretends to be a primary user by altering the signal characteristics. Proposed methods leverage advancement to efficiently detect and prevent primary user emulation future attack in cognitive radio using machine language techniques. In this paper novel method is proposed to leverage unique methodology which can efficiently handle during various dynamic changes includes varying bandwidth, signature changes etc… performing learning and classification at edge nodes followed by core nodes using deep learning convolution network. The proposed method is compared with that of two other state-of-art machine learning-based attack detection protocols and has found to significantly reduce the false alarm to secondary network, at the same time improve the overall detection accuracy at the primary network.
