5G Technology Enabling the Wireless Internet of Things

New technology trend has been initiated worldwide for the exploration of IoT using 4G and 5G mobile communications, cloud RAN, and extended coverage beyond the coverage area of mobile network. Motivated by the above trends, ECE Department, SMIT has started to build one test bed for IoT using 5G. At first, some recent papers are reviewed toward practical perspective on IoT in 5G network issues related to (i) latency critical IoT applications in 5G, (ii) efficient IoT gateway over 5G wireless, and (iii) efficient 5G small cell planning with eMBMS for optimal demand response in smart grids. This paper will discuss the detailed development efforts to achieve the IoT test bed. Efforts are rendered to make the test bed as a high-end research facility, industrial consultancy, and support toward 5G-enabled wireless IoT.
