Cognitive Radio (CR), which allows Secondary Users (SUs) to opportunistically access and use the spectrum bands owned by Primary Users (PUs), is regarded as the key technology of the next-generation wireless communication. With the assistance of CR technology, the quality of communication in the SG could be improved. In this paper, based on a hybrid CR-enabled SG communication network, a new system architecture for multiband-CR-enabled SG communication is proposed. Then, some optimization mathematical models are also proposed to jointly find the optimal sensing time and the optimal power allocation strategy. By using convex optimization techniques, several optimal methods are proposed to maximize the data rate of multiband-CR-enabled SG while considering the minimum detection probabilities to the active PUs. Finally, simulations are presented to show the validity of the proposed methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s21248384","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,15]],"date-time":"2021-12-15T21:47:36Z","timestamp":1639604856000},"page":"8384","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Multiband Spectrum Sensing and Power Allocation for aCognitive Radio-Enabled Smart Grid"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Jun","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350116, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Weibin","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350116, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hongjun","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electronic Engineering, National University of Defense Technology, Hefei 230037, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yanwei","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350116, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Riqing","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer and Information Sciences, Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, Fuzhou 350002, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ruiquan","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Electrical Engineering and Automation, Fuzhou University, Fuzhou 350116, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"4001","DOI":"10.1109\/JSYST.2019.2928090","article-title":"Communication in smart grids: A comprehensive review on the existing and future communication and information infrastructures","volume":"13","author":"Ghorbanian","year":"2019","journal-title":"IEEE Syst.
