Resumen

Clustering protocols and simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) technology can solve the issue of imbalanced energy consumption among nodes in energy harvesting-cognitive radio sensor networks (EH-CRSNs). However, dynamic energy changes caused by EH/SWIPT and dynamic spectrum availability prevent existing clustering routing protocols from fully leveraging the advantages of EH and SWIPT. Therefore, a multi-hop uneven clustering routing protocol is proposed for EH-CRSNs utilizing SWIPT technology in this paper. Specifically, an EH-based energy state function is proposed to accurately track the dynamic energy variations in nodes. Utilizing this function, dynamic spectrum availability, neighbor count, and other information are integrated to design the criteria for selecting high-quality cluster heads (CHs) and relays, thereby facilitating effective data transfer to the sink. Intra-cluster and inter-cluster SWIPT mechanisms are incorporated to allow for the immediate energy replenishment for CHs or relays with insufficient energy while transmitting data, thereby preventing data transmission failures due to energy depletion. An energy status control mechanism is introduced to avoid the energy waste caused by excessive activation of the SWIPT mechanism. Simulation results indicate that the proposed protocol markedly improves the balance of energy consumption among nodes and enhances network surveillance capabilities when compared to existing clustering routing protocols.
