Analysis of a Network Stability-Aware Clustering Protocol for Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks
Vladimir Shakhov, Insoo Koo
Abstract
Cognitive radio is becoming an increasingly important component of Internet of Things technologies, because it improves spectrum efficiency and provides a way to overcome the challenge of excessive demand for wireless communications. Research and development of cognitive radio communication systems are timely and helpful. Recently, Zheng et al. proposed a network stability-aware clustering protocol for cognitive radio sensor networks. In this letter, we discuss its fatal flaws, as well as ways to overcome them.
