Abstract
Combining Cognitive radio technology with wireless sensor networks has been introduced in the literature as a solution to the spectrum deficiency problem. Many clustering algorithms have been proposed for wireless sensor networks. However, most of them are not suitable for cognitive sensor networks as they operate on a fixed channel settings. In this work, we propose a low energy spectrum aware clustering algorithm, CogLEACH-C, based on CogLEACH algorithm in order to improve the performance in terms of system lifetime. CogLEACH-C uses not only the number of channels sensed idle by the node but also the node energy level in determining the probability for each node to be a cluster head. Hence, allows the base station to select K cluster heads that are in an optimal position for the nodes in the network.
