Wireless cognitive sensor networks arranged in smart community intelligently use the idle channels that alleviates spectrum scarcity. To enhance the connectivity of network, the existing spectrum-aware clustering algorithms group sensors into clusters due to the sensed idle channels of each sensor. However, a clustering metric should depend on various evaluation criteria. This poster proposes a novel spectrum-aware clustering algorithm to obtain more reasonable clustering, where a new weighted clustering metric is used to elect clusterheads. After clustering, the clusterheads sense spectrum instead of all nodes that greatly reduces the energy consumption and efficiently increase the network throughout.
