AB  - Interest in the cognitive radio sensor network (CRSN) paradigm has gradually 
      grown among researchers. This concept seeks to fuse the benefits of dynamic 
      spectrum access into the sensor network, making it a potential player in the next 
      generation (NextGen) network, which is characterized by ubiquity. Notwithstanding 
      its massive potential, little research activity has been dedicated to the network 
      layer. By contrast, we find recent research trends focusing on the physical 
      layer, the link layer and the transport layers. The fact that the cross-layer 
      approach is imperative, due to the resource-constrained nature of CRSNs, can make 
      the design of unique solutions non-trivial in this respect. This paper seeks to 
      explore possible design opportunities with wireless sensor networks (WSNs), 
      cognitive radio ad-hoc networks (CRAHNs) and cross-layer considerations for 
      implementing viable CRSN routing solutions. Additionally, a detailed performance 
      evaluation of WSN routing strategies in a cognitive radio environment is 
      performed to expose research gaps. With this work, we intend to lay a foundation 
      for developing CRSN routing solutions and to establish a basis for future work in 
      this area.
