Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to empower all aspects of the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS), the main goal of which is to improve transportation safety. However, due to high demands by the increasing number of associated vehicles, the allocated bandwidth of ITS is inadequate. Cognitive Radio (CR) technology can be used as a solution for this high demand level. In CR, the pre-allocated spectrum bands are sensed to find the existing holes, caused by the absence of primary users. Cooperative spectrum sensing is an efficient tool for the detection of free spectrum bands that increase the probability of correct detection. In this paper, a distributed cooperative spectrum sensing technique is proposed using the consensus algorithm which is a distributed data aggregation mechanism whereby each vehicle combines the results received from its neighbors' spectrum sensing. The combined results are repeatedly shared and combined such that all vehicles reach the same results. In vehicular networks, due to the vehicle's movement, the number of its neighbors changes dynamically. Therefore, considering the vehicle's mobility is essential in the spectrum sensing process. The consensus algorithm which is a data aggregation method is used to increase the probability of correct detection, and thus to reduce the number of collisions in the spectrum acquisition process. In our method, each vehicle accurately selects a number of its neighbors dynamically, and involves them in the decision-making process. Moreover, separate weights determined based on the entropy of their information are assigned to the sensing results of the selected neighbors. In this way, even if the vehicles are affected by fading or shadowing, they can make more accurate decisions using the sensing results received from other vehicles. The simulation results of the proposed method show that it increases the probability of correctly detecting free spectrum bands as well as convergence speed.

Virtual synchronous generator (VSG) control is a promising control method in microgrid (MG) for the inertia support characteristic. However, the VSG inherits the oscillation feature of synchronous generator (SG), thus the active power and frequency oscillation may be observed when VSG control is applied. In MG, the oscillation may cause the unreasonable dynamic active power sharing among VSGs. Subsequently, the VSGs are prone to overload and even unstable, and the existing works based on consensus control cannot suppress the oscillation effectively. In order to tackle this problem, this paper proposes an enhanced second-order-consensus-based distributed secondary frequency controller by introducing the active power second-order consensus control, and reveals the oscillation suppression capacity of the second-order consensus algorithm in depth. Since there is no specific control requirement for the second-order variables, i.e., the change rate of active power and frequency of MG in steady state, the proposed controller can be simplified by replacing the integral control of second-order variables with the proportional control of first-order variables, i.e., active power and frequency, thus the communication data volume will not increase comparing to the traditional first-order-consensus-based controller. This paper also provides a small-signal model of MG with the proposed controller to evaluate the system dynamic performance and design the parameters. Finally, the simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed controller. (C) 2021 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
