A CR wireless sensor network is a type of wireless sensor network that
comprises spatially-distributed autonomous CR equipped wireless sensors to monitor the physical or environmental conditions cooperatively.
The following are the potential challenges for the success of CR-WSNs
Development of a wireless sensor with the required cognitive capabilities,
Development of extremely low power consumable CR wireless sensor with energy harvesting facilities,
Capability of operating at high volumetric densities,
Producing low cost CR wireless sensors,
Development of autonomous and unattended operable algorithms and protocols,
Highly intelligent and adaptive to the environment
Should be robust on security for attacks and should work in an untrustworthy environment,
Development of globally operable CR wireless sensor etc.
