The rapid growth of modern wireless applications results in spectrum and energy scarcity. Cognitive radio (CR) technology is pivotal to resolve spectrum shortage. However, energy consumption is a critical issue in CR networks (CRNs) due to the unique functionality of spectrum sensing. Besides RF energy harvesting has come up as a potential solution to provide energy to CR devices. In this paper, we first provide an overview of spectrum sensing in CRNs with RF energy harvesting. Then, we propose a framework for multi-band spectrum sensing in CRNs with RF energy harvesting. We formulate a problem to optimize sensing time for throughput maximization while protecting primary users and keeping a minimum level of residual energy. Simulation results show the performance of multi-band cooperative spectrum sensing in terms of average throughput and energy harvested.
