Back Ground/ Aims:: Now-a-days in the Wireless Communications some of the spectrum bands are underutilized or unutilized; the spectrum can be utilized properly by using the Cognitive Radio Techniques using the Spectrum Sensing mechanisms. Objectives:: The prime objective of the research work carried out is to achieve the energy efficiency and to use the spectrum effectively by using the spectrum management concept and achieve better throughput, end to end delay etc., Methods:: The detection of the spectrum hole plays a vital role in the routing of Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs). While detecting the spectrum holes and the routing, sensing is impacted by the hidden node issues and exposed node issues. The impact of sensing is improved by incorporating the Cooperative Spectrum Sensing (CSS) techniques. Along with these issues the spectrum resources changes time to time in the routing. Results:: All the issues are addressed with An Energy Efficient Spectrum aware Routing (EESR) protocol which improves the timeslot and the routing schemes. The overall network life time is improved with the aid of residual energy concepts and the overall network performance is improved. Conclusion:: The proposed protocol (EESR) is an integrated system with spectrum management and the routing is successfully established to communication in the network and further traffic load is observed to be balanced in the protocol based on the residual energy in a node and further it improves the Network Lifetime of the Overall Network and the Individual CR user, along with this the performance of the proposed protocol outperforms the conventional state of art routing protocols.

Background: Now a days Due to rapid increase in the internet the Spectrum available is been overcrowded and thus the spectrum Sensing can be achieved by using the predominant technology i.e., Cognitive Radio as the spectrum is been under-utilized by the wireless communication technologies. Objective: The prime objective of the research work carried out is to achieve the energy efficiency and to use the spectrum effectively by using the spectrum management concept and achieve better throughput, end to end delay etc., Methods: The detection of the spectrum hole plays a vital role in the routing of the cognitive radio networks. As the hidden node problems and the multipath fading and the shadowing are considered to be impacting the sensing of the spectrum to overcome these issues Cooperative spectrum Sensing Mechanism is been adopted to sense the spectrum in an optimal manner and over cum the issues. Along with these issues the spectrum resources changes time to time in the routing. Result: An Energy Efficient Spectrum aware Routing (ESR) is been proposed which involves the timeslot and the routing schemes were been discussed. The simulation parameters have been proposed and the improvement in the performance of network through and a decrease in the end-to end delay have been observed and analyzed. Conclusion: An Energy Efficient spectrum management and the routing is successfully established to communication in the network and further traffic load is observed to be balanced in the protocol based on the residual energy in a node and further it prologs the Network Lifetime of the Overall Network and the Individual CR user. Further the end-to-end Delay has been observed to be lower which ensure higher throughput in the network and improves the network life time.

In cognitive radio networks (CRNs), cooperative spectrum sensing technology could overcome the impact from shadow fading and noise uncertainty; however, cognitive radio users with different signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) would cause the unreliable detection performance when making a decision in the information fusion center. Therefore, a novel cooperative spectrum sensing scheme which focus on the reliability of cognitive radio users is presented. The proposed approach does not select all of the cognitive radio users but the ones whose SNR is beyond the average SNR of the whole users for high reliability. Moreover, the detection and throughput performance is investigated. Simulation results illustrate this approach could enhances the detection probability by comparing to the conventional cooperative algorithm. Besides, it also could lead to higher throughput within a short spectrum sensing time.
