Okegbile, S.D. (Samuel); Maharaj, Bodhaswar Tikanath Jugpershad; Alfa, Attahiru Sule (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2020-11)Malicious users (MUs) have the tendency to disrupt the activities of honest users in the network if not properly controlled. In a massive cognitive radio network (CRN) with priority queues, malicious secondary users (SUs) ...
