Cognitive radio (CR) is an auspicious technology used to address the resource shortage issue in wireless IoT networks. Resource optimization is considered a non-convex and nondeterministic polynomial (NP) complete problem within CR-based Internet of Things (IoT) networks (CR-IoT). Moreover, the combined optimization of conflicting objectives is a challenging issue in CR-IoT networks. In this paper, energy efficiency (EE) and spectral efficiency (SE) are considered as conflicting optimization objectives. This research work proposed a hybrid tabu search-based stimulated algorithm (HTSA) in order to achieve Pareto optimality between EE and SE. In addition, the fuzzy-based decision is employed to achieve better Pareto optimality. The performance of the proposed HTSA approach is analyzed using different resource allocation parameters and validated through simulation results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22020451","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,9]],"date-time":"2022-01-09T23:08:26Z","timestamp":1641769706000},"page":"451","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["An Efficient Pareto Optimal Resource Allocation Scheme in Cognitive Radio-Based Internet of Things Networks"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Shahzad","family":"Latif","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Technology (SZABIST), Islamabad 75600, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0194-4807","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Suhail","family":"Akraam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"BARANI Institute of Sciences Burewala, JV of PMAS ARID Agriculture University Rawalpindi, Rawalpindi 46000, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tehmina","family":"Karamat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Software Engineering, Foundation University Islamabad, Rawalpindi 46000, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7058-0715","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammad Attique","family":"Khan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, HITEC University Taxila, Taxila 47080, Pakistan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chadi","family":"Altrjman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Artificial Intelligence Engineering Department, AI and Robotics Institute, Near East University, Mersin 99138, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Senghour","family":"Mey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of ICT Convergence, Soonchunhyang University, Asan 31538, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3318-9394","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yunyoung","family":"Nam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Soonchunhyang University, Asan 31538, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"7857","DOI":"10.3390\/s21237857","article-title":"Energy-Efficient Optimal Power Allocation for SWIPT Based IoT-Enabled Smart Meter","volume":"21","author":"Zaki","year":"2021","journal-title":"Sensors"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Zarzo, M., Perles, A., Mercado, R., and Garc\u00eda-Diego, F.J.
