In cooperative spectrum sensing (CSS), in order to maximise the energy efficiency (EE) of cognitive radio (CR) users, users are divided into clusters. In this paper, the optimal inter-fusion rule threshold formula for different number of clusters and users is proposed for maximum EE in cluster-based CSS (CB-CSS). Different fusion rules are investigated for this purpose over Nakagami and Rician fading channel conditions. Simulations are conducted for different number of clusters and users using AND and OR intra-fusion rules and inter-fusion rule threshold is optimised in CB-CSS over the Nakagami-m fading channel and the Rician fading channel. The obtained mathematical expression for the inter-fusion rule threshold is verified by the results. It is investigated that when number of clusters areand number of users in a cluster are, OR-AND (,) fusion rule achieves 2.46% more EE than AND-OR (,) fusion rule in case of Nakagami fading channel and 5.06% more EE than AND-OR fusion rule in case of Rician fading channel. Further, EE with respect to number of users is compared between additive white gaussian noise (AWGN) channel and Nakagami and Rician fading channels.
