Compromising the performance and overhead is a crucial factor in designing cognitive radio networks (CRNs). One way to achieve this goal is to combine different fusion rules for a CRN with multiple clusters of cognitive radios (CRs). This paper proposes a new adaptive combination algorithm to balance between detection performance of a CRN and its reporting overhead through combining different fusion rules over the CRN. Initially, the paper describes how to combine hard decision, i.e., one-bit, and soften-hard decision, i.e., two-bit, fusion rules over a CRN with multiple clusters of CRs using different strategies. Simple combination and modified combination strategies, to consider a trade off between performance improvement and incurred reporting overhead, are considered. The paper adopts different threshold strategies to implement the proposed combinations. Moreover, the proposed algorithms are examined under the Rayleigh fading channel model and simulated to investigate their detection performance and to compare their detection performance with existing works. The simulation results show that the adaptive threshold strategy outperforms the two proposed fixed threshold strategies and conventional fusion schemes.
