	Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are a class of technology represented with a set of sensor nodes. The main objective of these nodes is to collect data and monitor an environment{\textquoteright}s events. The basic tasks a node can handle are sensing data (humidity, temperature, fire, etc.), transmitting over short distances, and performing limited data processing. Common WSNs are used in many application fields. The limited resources of the WSNs (low processing capacity, memory and energy reserves) makes them underexploited compared to the WSNs{\textquoteright} spectrum utilization. Therefore their applications can be significantly increased by enhancing their performance. To address this challenge, cognitive radio sensor networks (CRSNs) examine how wireless sensor nodes with cognitive radio capabilities can address these performance challenges and improve the spectrum utilization. A new kind of WSN (CRSN) with better performance is created throgh the introduction of cognitive radio to traditional sensor networks. This new class of WSNS is more adapted to some specific applications which require more resources capabilities. In this talk, I will offer a perspective on the emerging field of cognitive radio sensor networks and its current applications
