In this paper, we investigate the network utility maximization problem in energy harvesting cognitive radio sensor networks (CRSNs). Different from traditional sensor networks, sensor nodes in CRSNs are embedded cognitive radio modules, enabling them to dynamically access the licensed channels. Since the dynamic channel access is critical to guarantee the network capacity for CRSNs, existing solutions without considering the dynamic channel access cannot be directly applied into CRSNs. To this end, we aim at maximizing the network utility by jointly controlling the sampling rates and channel access of sensor nodes, under the energy consumption, channel capacity and interference constraints. With the consideration of fluctuated energy harvesting rates and channel switching costs, we formulate the network utility maximization as a mix-integer non-linear programming problem and solve it in an efficient and decoupled way by means of dual decomposition. A joint channel access and sampling rate control scheme, named JASC, is then proposed considering the real-time channel sensing results and energy harvesting rates. Extensive simulation results demonstrate that JASC can efficiently improve the network utility in CRSNs based on a realistic energy harvesting dataset.
