5G and Beyond

The Internet of Things (IoT) has seen the eventual shift to the "Internet of Everything" in the recent years, unveiling its ubiquitous presence spanning from smart transports to smart healthcare, from smart education to smart shopping. With the 5G rollouts across the different countries of the world, it raises newer perspectives toward the integration of 5G in IoT. For IoT-based smart devices, 5G not only means speed, but also better stability, efficiency, and more secure connectivity. The reach of 5G in IoT is extending in multifarious areas like self-driving vehicles, smart grids for renewable energy, AI-enabled robots on factory floors, intelligent healthcare services . . . The endless list is the real future of 5G in IoT.

As 5G technologies catalyze a paradigm shift in the domain of IoT, this book serves as a reference for the researchers in the field of IoT and 5G, proffering the landscape to the trending aspects as well as the key topics of discussion in the years to come.
