Introduction to the Special Section on Energy-Harvesting Cognitive Radio Networks

We are delighted to introduce the readers to this special section of the IEEE Transactions on Cognitive Communications and Networking (TCCN), which has the purpose of addressing fundamental and practical challenges in the analysis and design of energy-harvesting cognitive radio networks (EH-CRNs). We received a total of 19 submissions, and after a rigorous review process, 9 articles have been selected for publication, which are briefly discussed next.
