Recent research and technology trends are shifting toward IoT and CRNs. However, we think that the things-oriented, Internet-oriented, and semantic-oriented versions of IoT are meaning- less if IoT objects are not equipped with cogni- tive radio capability. Equipping IoT objects with CR capability has lead to a new research dimen- sion of CR-based IoT. In this article, we present an overview of CR-based IoT systems. We high- light potential applications of CR-based IoT sys- tems. We survey architectures and frameworks of CR-based IoT systems. We furthermore discuss spectrum-related functionalities for CR-based IoT systems. Finally, we present open issues and research challenges faced by CR-based IoT net- works along with future directions.
