Internet of Things and cognitive radio — Issues and challenges

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a promising subject of technical, social, and economic implication. The primary aspect of IoT is different objects are being combined with internet connectivity with powerful data analytic capabilities. The concept IoT is all about connecting various devices and sensors to the internet i.e. IoT is a world wide network of interconnected objects, but it is not always palpable how to provide the inter connectivity. On the basis of some studies, it is seen that the impact of IoT on the internet and economy are very inspiring which includes great global economic impact by next few years. IoT is capable to establish interconnectivity of objects through mainly, wireless communication technologies as cost-effectiveness issues and accessibility to remote users make wireless communication as a feasible solution but IoT paradigm pretenses new challenges to the communication technology as several objects of heterogeneous in nature will need to be connected and one of the major challenge is the scarcity of available spectrum to establish the connectivity. To address these issues new radio technologies and network architectures need to be thought of to accommodate several future devices having connectivity demands and consequently trends are shifting to the network which is intelligent enough to adapt with the ambience i.e. Cognitive Radio(CR) Networks and introduction of CR into IoT can improve the efficiency of the spectrum. This paper explores the possibility to put forward the application prospect of the cognitive radio-based platform into IoT.
