In this paper, the problem of determining the power allocation that maximizes the energy-efficiency of cognitive radio-based wireless sensor networks is formed as a constrained optimization problem, where the objective function is the ratio of network throughput and the network power. The proposed constrained optimization problem belongs to a class of nonlinear fractional programming problems. Charnes-Cooper Transformation is used to transform the nonlinear fractional problem into an equivalent concave optimization problem. The structure of the power allocation policy for the transformed concave problem is found to be of a water-filling type. The problem is also transformed into a parametric form for which a \u03b5-optimal iterative solution exists. The convergence of the iterative algorithms is proven, and numerical solutions are presented. The iterative solutions are compared with the optimal solution obtained from the transformed concave problem, and the effects of different system parameters (interference threshold level, the number of primary users and secondary sensor nodes) on the performance of the proposed algorithms are investigated.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s130811032","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,8,21]],"date-time":"2013-08-21T12:49:13Z","timestamp":1377089353000},"page":"11032-11050","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Energy-Efficient Cognitive Radio Sensor Networks: Parametric and Convex Transformations"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Naeem","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ELCE Department, Ryerson University, 350- Victoria Street, Toronto, ON M5B 2K3, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, COMSATS Institute of IT, Wah Campus, Wah, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kandasamy","family":"Illanko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ELCE Department, Ryerson University, 350- Victoria Street, Toronto, ON M5B 2K3, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ashok","family":"Karmokar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ELCE Department, Ryerson University, 350- Victoria Street, Toronto, ON M5B 2K3, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alagan","family":"Anpalagan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ELCE Department, Ryerson University, 350- Victoria Street, Toronto, ON M5B 2K3, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Jaseemuddin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ELCE Department, Ryerson University, 350- Victoria Street, Toronto, ON M5B 2K3, Canada"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,8,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"55","DOI":"10.1109\/MCOM.2011.5978416","article-title":"The global footprint of mobile communications: The ecological and economic perspective","volume":"49","author":"Fehske","year":"2011","journal-title":"IEEE Commun.
