“…To prolong the lifetime of cognitive sensor network (CSN) and overcome the energy limitation of the CSs, energy harvesting technology is used to provide sufficient energy to fuel the CSN. Moreover, energy-efficient designs [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ] and energy harvesting [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ] represent the two important directions for solving the energy limitation for CSs. Energy-efficient designs can be classified into four groups [ 13 ]: minimizing energy consumption, optimizing sensing parameters (e.g., the number of cooperating nodes, detection thresholds, sensing and transmission duration, transmission power), selection and application of fusion and decision rules, and energy-efficient network organization.…”
