Understanding the Uses and Potential of IoT with 5G Technology Compared to 4G LTE: A Systematic Literature Review

IoT or Internet of Things growth in recent years is on the rise, but most of these IoT devices are still mainly dependent on 4G technology which is already at its peak and has many limitations. It has been four years since 5G technology was introduced, but the deployment and development are still not spread evenly in many cities. This research focuses on capturing the use and potential of IoT devices with 5G technology while comparing it to its predecessor, the 4G technology. A systematic literature review is used to capture related information and results of previous similar research to produce new findings and enrich current knowledge of 5G technology uses and potential. The result of this paper is to increase the insight into IoT with 5G technology, starting from the reason why 5G is the future of IoT devices, limitations in 4G, use and potential of IoT devices with 5G, applications and scenarios of IoT with 5G, comparison of 4G and 5G technologies, and new and essentials features in 5G to support 5G-IoT.
