Among Cognitive Radio Network (CRN) research topics, routing algorithms especially for multi-channel networks are in the early stages. In this paper, we design a novel cognitive routing scheme for multi-channel multi-hop wireless networks. The main contribution of the proposed routing scheme is the sub-optimal low computational complexity which makes it applicable for distributed network architecture with power constraints. Other important aspect of the proposed routing scheme is considering the objectives related to the network performance, accessibility and efficient spectrum utilization jointly. As the simulation results demonstrate the presented scheme provides a significant improvement in the spectral efficiency and adequate QoS in term of delay propagation and interference in CRN.
