Wireless Internet of Things (WIoT), based on the concept of ubiquitous computing, attempts to create communication networks by embedding microchips in everyday consumer electronic devices and to set those devices up to share data with each other to provide innovative connected solutions. With the explosion in the number and variety of wireless applications in the last two decades, all of them face a major challenge of availability of frequency spectrum. This challenge can be addressed by resorting to cognitive radio. The cognitive radio scheme uses a radio system that can make an informed decision to dynamically fine-tune its radio operation metrics as it can sense and is mindful of its operational setting. Combining the cognitive radio technology with WIoT can make the application design more robust and universal. In this paper, we discuss the possibilities and challenges involving such cognitive sensors, used for environmental sensing and healthcare applications.
