“…These cellular IoT standards include narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) and LTE-machine type communications (LTE-M). Despite being introduced in 3GPP Release 13 as part of LTE standards, NB-IoT and LTE-M fulfill the international mobile telecommunications-2020 (IMT-2020) requirements for massive machine-type communications (mMTC) and can be, as confirmed in the 3GPP study on "self-evaluation towards IMT-2020 submission", certified as 5G technologies [131]. NB-IoT 3GPP frequency bands 250 kbps [139,140] On top of the currently utilized short-range, mid-range, and long-range technologies provided in Table 5 and with the increasing attention addressed to industrial wearables, other candidate communication technologies are lately being taken into account and studied to support the novel requirements.…”

Today, ensuring work safety is considered to be one of the top priorities for various industries. Workplace injuries, illnesses, and deaths often entail substantial production and financial losses, governmental checks, series of dismissals, and loss of reputation. Wearable devices are one of the technologies that flourished with the fourth industrial revolution or Industry 4.0, allowing employers to monitor and maintain safety at workplaces. The purpose of this article is to systematize knowledge in the field of industrial wearables’ safety to assess the relevance of their use in enterprises as the technology maintaining occupational safety, to correlate the benefits and costs of their implementation, and, by identifying research gaps, to outline promising directions for future work in this area. We categorize industrial wearable functions into four classes (monitoring, supporting, training, and tracking) and provide a classification of the metrics collected by wearables to better understand the potential role of wearable technology in preserving workplace safety. Furthermore, we discuss key communication technologies and localization techniques utilized in wearable-based work safety solutions. Finally, we analyze the main challenges that need to be addressed to further enable and support the use of wearable devices for industrial work safety.

“…Since Wi-Fi is a good option only for high data rate transmissions, if there is no need for that, communicating devices should keep only the LTE interface active to save power. Similarly, in [33], authors advocate the use of LTE sidelink transmissions to address the missioncritical requirements and target new broadband public safety applications.…”

Emerging communication network applications require a location accuracy of less than 1 m in more than 95% of the service area. For this purpose, 5G New Radio (NR) technology is designed to facilitate high-accuracy continuous localization. In 5G systems, the existence of high-density small cells and the possibility of the device-to-device (D2D) communication between mobile terminals paves the way for cooperative positioning applications. From the standardization perspective, D2D technology is already under consideration (5G NR Release 16) for ultra-dense networks enabling cooperative positioning and is expected to achieve the ubiquitous positioning of below one-meter accuracy, thereby fulfilling the 5G requirements. In this survey, the strengths and weaknesses of D2D as an enabling technology for cooperative cellular positioning are analyzed (including two D2D approaches to perform cooperative positioning); lessons learned and open issues are highlighted to serve as guidelines for future research.

“…Broadly speaking, the IoWT is formed by a mixture of various smart wearable devices, ranging from smart shoes to sophisticated head-mounted displays. Commonly, modern wearable devices are not anymore dedicated to serving one function but are already equipped with various sensors, communication, and computing modules allowing for continuous data extraction, processing, and transmission [42].…”

Rapid technology advancement, economic growth, and industrialization have paved the way for developing a new niche of small body-worn personal devices, gathered together under a wearabletechnology title. The triggers stimulated by end-users interest have introduced the first generation of mass-consumer wearables in just the past decade. Evidently, the trailblazing ones were not designed with strict energy-consumption restrictions in mind. Thus, wearable-computing-related research remained fragmented. Advanced and sophisticated batteries and communication technologies could be already procurable on devices. Additional solutions for efficient utilization of processing power are still a white spot on the wearable technology roadmap. A-WEAR EU project aims to enhance the understanding of how the superimposition of those technologies would improve wearable devices' energy efficiency, with the research area being far from saturation. We foresee enormous room for research as the Edge computing paradigm is emerging towards hand-held devices.
