Abstract

Cognitive radio ad hoc networks (CRAHNs) emerged to solve problems associated with wireless networking due to limited available spectrum. The problem of spectrum inadequacy can be removed by exploiting the usage of existing wireless spectrum intelligently. In a CRAHNs, secondary users SUs (unlicensed users) are able to exploit and utilize underused channel but should vacate the channels if any interference is caused to primary users PUs (licensed users) that own the channels. In this paper, various routing challenges in routing of CRAHNs are introduced. Then reactive routing schemes are discussed along with challenges it addresses. An analytic assessment is carried out in the end to identify the covered and uncovered challenges in reactive routing protocols and further concise of direction to be taken to improve upon the protocol.
