A Feasible Cellular Internet of Things: Enabling Edge Computing and the IoT in Dense Futuristic Cellular Networks

Novel MEC Based Approaches for Smart Hospitals to Combat COVID-19 Pandemic

“…Therefore in this paper, we are proposing a MEC based edge computing approach to satisfy the intrinsic technological requisites demanded by the novel contact-less and remote medical procedures for treating COVID-19 patients within a medical facility. This work extends the reach of MEC towards adaptability established by [8], assures the claims proposed by [9], [10] to mitigate COVID-19, and validates the utilization of edge computing in IoT systems as conceptualized in [11], [12] with MEC; while improving the feasibility of smart health solutions proposed in [2], [13], [14]. The Section II introduces three futuristic use cases that effectively establish contact-less operation, while the methodology to realize these initiatives with MEC is presented in Section III.…”

Decision Triggered Data Transmission and Collection in Industrial Internet of Things

“…Edge computing enables computation capability at the edge of any networks, thus, reducing the transmission latency. Energy efficient and near-instant communications and networking schemes, driven by cellular techniques [8], [9], are the state-of-the-art digital transmission techniques for the future IIoT with the guarantee of a wide range of coverage, ultra-high data rate, and ultra-low latency.…”

Cross-Federation Identities for IoT Devices in Cellular Networks

“…Cellular Internet of Things (C-IoT) expands the prior concept by portraying procedures of having several IoT devices performing their data exchanges through mobile network infrastructures without causing usage overload [14] [15], and to make that possible, technologies such as Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) and others can be used in order to fulfill this emerging need. Due to the characteristics of these IoT devices (mainly cost, size and energy consumption), there is a market for a massive adoption of such components for several types of applications, such as smart homes, e-health, among others [16]. With that, as also referred in [16], it is important to ensure that when such devices need to communicate their readings, there are no disruptions while doing so.…”
