As a smart combination of cognitive radio networks and wireless sensor networks,recently introduced cognitive radio sensor network(CRSN) poses new challenges to the design of topology maintenance techniques for dynamic primary-user activities.This paper aims to provide a solution to the energy-efficient spectrum-aware CRSN clustering problem.Specifically,we design the clustered structure,establish a network-wide energy consumption model and determine the optimal number of clusters.We then employ the ideas from constrained clustering and propose both a centralized spectrum-aware clustering algorithm and a distributed spectrum-aware clustering(DSAC) protocol.Through extensive simulations,we demonstrate that DSAC can effectively form clusters under a dynamic spectrum-aware constraint.Moreover,DSAC exhibits preferable scalability and stability with its low complexity and quick convergence under dynamic spectrum variation.
