Cognitive Radio Networks with Energy Harvesting Capability: A review on recent advancement

  Prajapati Nirav Amrutlal,  Saurabh M. Patel

Harvesting energy from ambient sources and con-verting it to electrical energy used to power devices is of increas-ing importance in designing green communication networks. The increasing demand for spectral and energy efficient communica-tion networks has spurred a great interest in energy harvesting (EH) cognitive radio networks (CRNs). In this work, an energy harvesting cognitive radio networks(CRNs) are considered, where each secondary user (SU) extract energy via harvesting energy by Radio Frequency (RF) signal of primary user (PU) during sensing time as well as the transmission time of a detection cycle if PU is present. The review of energy harvesting cognitive radio networks is shown. Also the survey of energy harvesting from RF and non RF sources are discussed.
