“…In addition, nanotechnology offers an advanced method to carry out non-invasive diagnosis and identifies the abnormalities in the tissues, chemical compounds, physical features of structures, and biological agents i.e., bacteria, viruses, etc., is named the Internet of Bio-NanoThings (IoBNT) [69], [224], [225]. However, IoNT plays a very significant role in a variety of applications such as biomedicine (for instance, drug delivery and health monitoring system, bio-hybrid implant, immune system support, and genetic engineering), military (for instance, non-functionalized equipment, damaged detection system, and Nuclear Biological and Chemical (NBC) defences), industry (for instance, food and water quality control, office setup, and functionalized fabrics, and materials) and environment (for instance, air pollution control, animals and biodiversity control, and biogradation) [27], [73], [74], [216], [226], [227], [228], [229].…”

Internet of Things is emerging as an incredible future technology to improve the existing lifestyle from the research community, industry, and the public sector. The main intention of IoT is to create an efficient, interactive, and autonomous infrastructure for a safer and healthier world. Moreover, it grows faster day-to-day with the support of many other technologies, i.e. Cloud computing, Blockchain, Wireless Body Sensor Networks, Nanotechnology, and Artificial Intelligence for smart applications, including healthcare, environment, automotive industries, transportation, agriculture, etc. Nevertheless, managing big data is one of the challenging tasks due to the increased number of devices leading to various serious issues like security, privacy, accuracy, latency, scheduling, etc. Further, specific infrastructures with remarkable techniques are required to analyze the bulk of raw data to progress the quality of life and allow timely intervention through various capabilities, i.e., data capture, unique identification, actuation, communication, data mining, etc. In past literature, numerous reviews/surveys are presented that explore the technologies mentioned above as standalone and application specific. However, this paper aims to integrate all the mentioned technologies and deliver a clear vision to future researchers (newcomers) as a kick-start article to boost up and understand the status of the existing research through a comprehensive review of the Internet of Things and its evolution in wireless telecommunications from a general perspective. The most significant challenges and issues are highlighted to research further in these evolving domains.

“…Generally, THz modulation and coding schemes are designed to maximize the channel capacity, typically in conjunction with the use of large antenna arrays to extend the communication distance [256] – [258] . However, in the case of IBNs, the priority is to reduce the overall power consumption [259] . In addition, based on the limited power budget, simple coding schemes can be employed to reduce coding and decoding times.…”

Following recent advancements in Terahertz (THz) technology, THz communications are currently being celebrated as key enablers for various applications in future generations of communication networks. While typical communication use cases are over medium-range air interfaces, the inherently small beamwidths and transceiver footprints at THz frequencies support nano-communication paradigms. In particular, the use of the THz band for in-body and on-body communications has been gaining attention recently. By exploiting the accurate THz sensing and imaging capabilities, body-centric THz biomedical applications can transcend the limitations of molecular, acoustic, and radio-frequency solutions. In this paper, we study the use of the THz band for body-centric networks, by surveying works on THz device technologies, channel and noise modeling, modulation schemes, and networking topologies. We also promote THz sensing and imaging applications in the healthcare sector, especially for detecting zootonic viruses such as Coronavirus. We present several open research problems for body-centric THz networks.

With the development of wireless mobile communication technology, the demand for wireless communication rate and frequency increases year by year. Existing wireless mobile communication frequency tends to be saturated, which demands for new solutions. Terahertz (THz) communication has great potential for the future mobile communications (Beyond 5G), and is also an important technique for the high data rate transmission in spatial information network. THz communication has great application prospects in military-civilian integration and coordinated development. In China, important breakthroughs have been achieved for the key techniques of THz high data rate communications, which is practically keeping up with the most advanced technological level in the world. Therefore, further intensifying efforts on the development of THz communication have the strategic importance for China in leading the development of future wireless communication techniques and the standardization process of Beyond 5G. This paper analyzes the performance of the MIMO channel in the Terahertz (THz) band and a discrete mathematical method is used to propose a novel channel model. Then, a channel capacity model is proposed by the combination of path loss and molecular absorption in the THz band based on the CSI at the receiver. Simulation results show that the integration of MIMO in the THz band gives better data rate and channel capacity as compared with a single channel.
