A Novel Clustering Scheme For Heterogeneous Cognitive Radio Wireless Sensor Networks
Introduction: This article is the product of the research “Learning-based Spectrum Analysis and Prediction in Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks”, developed at Sejong University in the year 2019.
Problem: Most of the clustering schemes for distributed cognitive radio-enabled wireless sensor networks consider homogeneous cognitive radio-enabled wireless sensors. Many clustering schemes for such homogeneous
cognitive radio-enabled wireless sensor networks waste resources and suffer from energy inefficiency because of the unnecessary overheads.
Objective: The objective of the research is to propose a node clustering scheme that conserves energy and prolongs network lifetime.
Methodology: A heterogeneous cognitive radio-enabled wireless sensor network in which only a few nodes have a cognitive radio module and the other nodes are normal sensor nodes. Along with the hardware cost, the
proposed scheme is efficient in energy consumption.
Results: We simulated the proposed scheme and compared it with the homogeneous cognitive radio-enabled wireless sensor networks. The results show that the proposed scheme is efficient in terms of energy
consumption.
Conclusion: The proposed node clustering scheme performs better in terms of network energy conservation and network partition.
Originality: There are heterogeneous node clustering schemes in the literature for cooperative spectrum sensing and energy efficiency, but to the best of our knowledge, there is no study that proposes a non-cognitive
radio-enabled sensor clustering for energy conservation along with cognitive radio-enabled wireless sensors.
Limitations: The deployment of the proposed special device for cognitive radio-enabled wireless sensors is complicated and requires special hardware with better battery powered cognitive sensor nodes.
