Abstract In the last decade, with the emergence of the internet of things (IoT) as well as machine-to-machine (M2M) paradigms, future wireless networks are targeting new critical services such as remote healthcare, surveillance, transportation, etc. In this regard, with the massive expected number of connected IoT and M2M devices, several requirements have been imposed by the regulatory bodies onto the deployment of 5G network. These requirements include, but not limited to, higher connectivity, reduced latency, as well as increased spectral and energy efficiency. Interestingly, the

To Boldly Go Where No Sensor Has Gone Before: The Movement to Place IoT in Radical New Spaces

1 min read ·
The rapid growth of the world’s population demands more natural resources, food, and space. World renowned physicist Stephan Hawking has argued that soon we will require another world to live on because we are running out of space and natural resources. This ever-increasing demand for resources and space needs novel technologies to explore natural resources, produce more crops, and explore outer space. Internet of X-things (X-IoT) is an enabling technology to overcome all of the above issues. The framework of X-IoT consists of three major categories as shown in Figure 1. The first one is the

In a recent collaborative study between Prof. Yaacoub and Prof. Alouini, the internet of things (IoT) connectivity in rural areas was investigated. Both fronthaul and backhaul issues were considered. Techniques based on free space optics with solar powered networked flying platforms were found to be a suitable networking solution for such kind of environments. More details about this work from this collaborative project can be found in the video and in the following publication: E. Yaacoub and M. -S. Alouini, " Efficient fronthaul and backhaul connectivity for IoT traffic in rural areas", IEEE

IoT

Underwater acoustic communication networks (UACNs) are considered a key enabler to the underwater internet of things (UIoT). UACN is regarded as essential for various marine applications such as monitoring, exploration, and trading. However, a large part of existing literature disregards the 3-dimensional (3D) nature of the underwater communication system. In this paper, we propose a K-tier UACN that acts as a gateway that connects the UIoT with the Space-Air-GroundSea Integrated System (SAGSIS). The proposed network architecture consists of several tiers along the vertical direction with
