Internet-of-things (IoT) systems combine sensing, computation, storage, and communication to sense physical systems and respond accordingly. However, larger size chips are not suitable for fog and edge devices. Therefore, a new mindset is required for VLSI design to implement the IoT application. This chapter describes the first conventional technology used in VLSI design. Afterward, the characteristics of IoT systems relevant to VLSI design identify essential factors and challenges at different levels. Finally, the fifth-generation network (5G) is also studied to expand IoT applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
