Secure and Energy-Efficient Cognitive Radio-Wireless Sensor Networks: A Comprehensive Review

  • Dr. Suniti Dutt

Abstract

Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) equip the mobile users with high bandwidthsthroughdynamic
spectrum access schemes as well as wireless heterogeneous architectures. However, these networks
come with various challenges ascribable to the fluctuating traits of the available spectrum, along with
the varied Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of the diverse applications. Cognitive RadioWireless Sensor Networks (CR-WSNs) are coming forth as virtually one of the most assuring wireless
technologies of the future for spectrum access. To allow for a better comprehension of CR-WSNs, this
paperposes an exhaustive analysis oftechnological developments and open research issues of CRWSNs. More specifically, thisarticle is centralized towards the CR-WSNswhichwork towards
attainment of a reasonable energy-efficiency for secure applications. At the outset, a succinct
overview of Cognitive Radio (CR) and the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) architectures is furnished.
Then, a comparative analysis of state-of-the-art secure and energy-efficient CR-WSN models is
presented. Ultimately, the present work is concluded by delineating open issues that demand for
future research.
