description Cognitive radio (CR) is the best way to improve the efficiency of spectrum consumption for wireless multimedia communications. Spectrum sensing, which allows legitimate secondary users (SU) to find vacant bands in the spectrum, plays a vital role in CR networks. When cooperative sensing is used in CR networks, spectrum availability must be taken into account. In many ways, the shared cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS) data among SU. The presence of a malicious user (MU) in the system and sending false sensing data can degrade the performance of cooperative CR. The sharp rise in mobile data traffic causes congestion in the licensed band for the transmission of signals. Handling this security issue in real time, on top of spectrum sharing, is a challenge in such networks. In order to manage the spectrum and identify MU, blockchain-based CSS is developed in this article. To gauge the efficiency of the proposed topology, performance metrics like sensitivity, node selection, throughput measurement, and energy efficiency are used. This work suggests a unique, easier-to-use CSS method with MU suppression that outperforms the current one. According to simulation studies, the suggested topology can increase the likelihood of MU detection by roughly 15% when 40% of system users are malicious.
