In cognitive radio sensor networks (CRSNs), the sensor devices which are enabled to perform dynamic spectrum access have to frequently sense the licensed channel to find idle channels. The behavior of spectrum sensing will consume a lot of battery power of sensor devices and reduce the network lifetime. In this paper, we aim to answer the question of how many spectrum sensing nodes (SSNs) are required. In order to achieve this, SSN ratio effects on the accuracy of spectrum sensing from the perspective of network energy efficiency are analyzed first. Based on these analyses, the optimal SSN ratio is derived for maximizing the network lifetime by optimizing the cooperative detection probability (CDP). Simulation results show that the optimal SSN ratio can guarantee the spectrum sensing performance in terms of detection and false alarm probabilities and effectively extend the network lifetime.
