Apart from the received signal energy, auxiliary information plays an important role in remarkably ameliorating conventional spectrum sensing. In this paper, a novel spectrum sensing scheme aided by geolocation information is proposed. In the cellular cognitive radio network (CCRN), secondary user equipments (SUEs) first acquire their wireless fingerprints via either received signal strength (RSS) or time of arrival (TOA) estimation over the reference signals received from their surrounding base-stations (BSs) and then pinpoint their geographical locations through a wireless fingerprint (WFP) matching process in the wireless fingerprint database (WFPD). Driven by the WFPD, the SUEs can easily ascertain for themselves the white licensed frequency band (LFB) for opportunistic access. In view of the fact that the locations of the primary user (PU) transmitters in the CCRN are either readily known or practically unavailable, the SUEs can either search the WFPD directly or rely on the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm to determine the availability of the LFB. Additionally, in order to alleviate the deficiency of single SUE-based sensing, a joint prediction mechanism is proposed on the basis of cooperation of multiple SUEs that are geographically nearby. Simulations verify that the proposed scheme achieves higher detection probability and demands less energy consumption than the conventional spectrum sensing algorithms.
