Cognitive Radio Network (CRN) is an
intelligent radio that can be programmed and
configured dynamically, Cognitive radio (CR) is a new
emerging and challenging research area to improve
spectral efficiency of wireless communication. A
cognitive radio wireless sensor network is one of the
postulant areas where cognitive techniques can be used
for opportunistic spectrum access. Cognitive radio is a
form of wireless communication in which a transceiver
can intelligently detect which communication channels
are in use and which are not, and instantly move into
vacant channels while avoiding occupied ones. This
optimizes the use of available radio-frequency (RF)
spectrum while minimizing interference to other users.
Now a days ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical)
band is going to be saturated due to increasing
availability of wireless device such as mobile, laptop,
notebook, pump top. However, in CRN, improve the
channel usability by optimistic spectrum access into
licensed bands by the secondary users at the absence of
primary user. In CRN, channel rendezvous amongst the
secondary users to discover the neighbor is the main
challenge. A large number of existing works propose
overcome this challenge using pseudo random channel
hoping (i.e, switching channel from one to other)
sequence. However, we dispute that pseudo random
sequence cannot provide proficient channel rendezvous
in many scenarios and sometimes even the secondary
users do not find out their neighbors. Hence in this
paper, we propose a channel hoping method using Heap
Tree Traversing Algorithm (HTTA) for multi-channel
rendezvous amongst the secondary users of CRN. We
have analyzed and implemented the proposed
mechanism, and found that it provides better results in
terms of the number of iteration and success rate for
channel rendezvous then the pseudo random approach.
