Cognitive radio (CR) has attracted a large amount of interest in the
telecommunications field. A CR is aware of its surrounding electromagnetic
environment and uses that knowledge to improve its performance. A CR
monitors the radio spectrum continuously and uses the available channels
in the best possible way without interfering users (primary users) who
originally own the channels. Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) have
benefited from advances in processing capability, memory capacity, and
battery technology to enable the deployment of inexpensive communication
nodes.

Current WSNs are deployed over unlicensed frequency band that faces an
increased level of interference from various wireless systems. Cognitive
WSNs (CWSNs) adopt dynamic spectrum access and cognitive communication
from CR to improve spectrum utilization and network performance, while
taking into account the energy and processing constrains inherent to WSN
applications. CWSN is especially beneficial for WSN applications in
building environments such as hospitals and residential homes, where
transmission reliability, power management, and interference avoidance are
critical issues. The main focus of this special issue is on manuscripts
that report recent results in the application of CR concepts to WSN
scenarios. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

- Dynamic spectrum management
- Architectures, protocols, algorithms, and applications
- Performance evaluations and simulations
- Quality-of-Service (QoS) issues and network management
- Field tests and pilot projects
- Spectrum sensing
- Energy efficiency issues
- Relaying and routing
- Interference management
- Security issues
