5G-IoT Architecture for Next Generation Smart Systems

Next Generation 5G networks are of prime importance to meet the increasing demands of emerging IoT applications and industry verticals for high throughputs and ultra-reliable low latency communication. Future IoT services also require high scalability and Internet connectivity for a wide range of applications, including various mobility scenarios. Communication systems developed so far have not been able to fully address the requirements of IoT applications. However, 5G has the capability to satisfy these needs and provides key enabling technologies for ubiquitous deployment of the IoT technology. We propose and evaluate a novel 5G-IoT architecture using Simu5G network simulator for enabling future IoT systems to support next generation applications. The proposed 5G-IoT architecture is shown to achieve high throughputs of around 1 Gbps with sub-millisecond latency and ultra-high reliability for scalable next generation smart systems.
