Spectrum sharing and aggregation among authorized secondary users (A-SUs) are important tasks in operating effective cognitive radio networks. Furthermore, in protecting spectrum sharing/aggregation against unauthorized secondary users (UA-SUs), secondary user access control (SUAC) is needed, which is investigated in this paper. A jamming signal is injected to degrade the spectrum sensing performance of UA-SUs, while reliable spectrum sensing performance for A-SUs can be achieved through an oblique projection-based jamming cancellation method. An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing-based transmission model is considered in this paper. The generalized likelihood ratio test algorithm is used for both authorized and unauthorized SUs in spectrum sensing. Numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed SUAC in degrading the spectrum sensing performance of the unauthorized SUs.
