The paper presents a method of monitoring the basic parameters of cognitive mobile ad hoc network (MANET) with opportunistic access to the spectrum. The collected parameters are based on metrics from different communications layers, combined into single utility function, being a global indicator of the network health. The proposed method was tested and validated using a real time cognitive radio network demonstrator. Results for example test scenario are also presented.
