Global concerns regarding environmental preservation and energy sustainability have emerged due to the various impacts of constantly increasing energy demands and climate changes. With advancements in smart grid, edge computing, and Metaverse-based technologies, it has become apparent that conventional private power networks are insufficient to meet the demanding requirements of industrial applications. The unique capabilities of 5G, such as numerous connections, high reliability, low latency, and large bandwidth, make it an excellent choice for smart grid services. The 5G network industry will heavily rely on the Internet of Things (IoT) to progress, which will act as a catalyst for the development of the future smart grid. This comprehensive platform will not only include communication infrastructure for smart grid edge computing, but also Metaverse platforms. Therefore, optimizing the IoT is crucial to achieve a sustainable edge computing network. This paper presents the design, fabrication, and evaluation of a super-efficient GSM triplexer for 5G-enabled IoT in sustainable smart grid edge computing and the Metaverse. This component is intended to operate at 0.815/1.58/2.65 GHz for 5G applications. The physical layout of our triplexer is new, and it is presented for the first time in this work. The overall size of our triplexer is only 0.007 λg2, which is the smallest compared to the previous works. The proposed triplexer has very low insertion losses of 0.12 dB, 0.09 dB, and 0.42 dB at the first, second, and third channels, respectively. We achieved the minimum insertion losses compared to previous triplexers. Additionally, the common port return losses (RLs) were better than 26 dB at all channels.

Section: Challenges In 5g and 6g Developmentmentioning
Several large-scale and distributed systems such as renewable energy systems (RESs) require ubiquitous and reliable communication. RESs are designed to provide efficient power management and improve both energy production and consumption. Decision making in RESs heavily depends on real-time communication. Fifth and sixth-generation (5G, 6G) wireless networks promise to deliver significant communication advantages to RESs including ultra-low latency, high throughput and improved coverage. However, the communication behavior in RESs is categorized as unpredictable due to aspects such as system flexibility and equipment heterogeneity. This may affect the stability of the entire RES, which results in further issues such as signal reliability and degraded coverage. Therefore, precise identification of user equipment’s (UE) location greatly improves the sustainability of 5G and 6G wireless services. In this work, we propose a novel low-complexity technique to automatically recognize UE locations in an area of interest. The approach aims at providing precise identification of UE with minimum memory and feature requirements. We use the lazy learning approach to build a prediction model to construct beam-attachment maps. We then train the model to provide distributed intelligent models to automatically recognize beam-attachment indexes. We compare the proposed approach with instance-based techniques to measure its ability at predicting beam-attachment maps. The results show that the proposed model has the ability to provide an accurate prediction with respect to the beam-attachment index (around 100%) with minimal complexity.
