SummaryInformation technology enables the process of spectral sensing and spectral efficiency (SE) with the help of different strategies attracted by researchers in cooperative cognitive radio networks (CCRN). Compared with other wireless technologies, spectral sharing in green metric CCRN (GMCCRN) is an effective strategy. Due to the collaboration between the unlicensed and licensed customers, the spectral sharing between the cooperative customers possesses various challenges. Here, the effectiveness of green CCRN is demonstrated through a variety of useful techniques. The proposed work designed a channel using Markov Gaussian wideband distribution (MGWD), and for communication, dynamic optimal relay‐based protocol (DORP) is used. Also, an effective optimization known as adaptive dynamic group‐based optimization algorithm (ADGCO) is used to examine the false alarm detection and finest spectral sensing. Finally, the effectiveness of GMCCRN is validated in terms of outage probability, spectral efficiency, energy efficiency, and throughput. Furthermore, the results revealed that the proposed method in CCRN reduces power consumption at both the secondary user (SU) and primary user (PU) sides. Also, the method maximized the throughput compared with existing schemes and achieved 0.3 as error prospect and 92.6% as accuracy.
