“…Other connectivity standards are, for example, Highway Addressable Remote Transducer Protocol (HART), WirelessHart and Data-Distribution Service (DSS) [37]. Cabrini et al [42] investigated a Helix Multilayered platform offering an Industrial IoT service platform extending the horizontal digital continuum towards Fog and Edge layer based on open standards. They were able to route "context information through the near edge and the city's cloud datacenter".…”

The fourth industrial revolution taking place in the industrial sector is related to the increasing digitization and linkage of goods, products, value chains and business models. Industry 4.0 is based on the global connection of people, things and machines. By connecting devices and sensors to the internet, we are entering a new era of data analysis, connectivity and automation. This gives great opportunities for innovation and progress, previously unattainable in such a dimension. The term Internet of Things (IoT) has spread along with the vision of a world instrumented with intelligent inputs and outputs able to communicate with each other through internet data and technologies. IoT is being implemented in various areas of the modern economy, for example, healthcare, quality control, logistics, energy, agriculture and production. The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) blazes the trail to a better understanding of the manufacturing process, thus enabling efficient and sustainable production. The paper explains the concepts of IoT, IIoT and Industry 4.0. It highlights the accompanying opportunities, threats and challenges related to their implementation. Additionally, it presents an outline of computing architecture in IoT and related energy consumption issues. Moreover, it provides examples of application and IIoT research profiling.

“…The information obtained from the ITS station allows the announcement of the necessary awareness information about VRU -location, altitude, heading and speed, but also orientation, direction, size and weight class and VRU profile. To obtain this information set, the information from the smartphone from inertial sensors (accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer, and orientation sensors), from the cellular signal strength and WiFi, Bluetooth information and GNSS/GPS sensor is fused using the Fused Sensor Provider API from Google 28 . The announcement of this awareness information is made with VRU awareness messages (VAMs) sent by the smartphones.…”

“…The integration of industries in the context of smart cities and other smart environments, allied with new communication technologies such as 5G, brings a new horizon of possibilities and new requirements. To attend this type of application, we studied the integration of the Helix Multi-layered IoT platform and its operating modes into the ATCLL, showcasing a real-world deployment [28]. The Helix Multi-layered platform was deployed and evaluated in this city platform to identify its potential to support services and applications that require operation in an edge environment, as depicted in Figure 35.…”

This article presents the deployment and experimentation architecture of the Aveiro Tech City Living Lab (ATCLL) in Aveiro, Portugal. This platform comprises a large number of Internet-of-things devices with communication, sensing and computing capabilities. The communication infrastructure, built on fiber and Millimeter-wave (mmWave) links, integrates a communication network with radio terminals (WiFi, ITS-G5, C-V2X, 5G and LoRa(WAN)), multiprotocol, spread throughout 44 connected points of access in the city. Additionally, public transportation has also been equipped with communication and sensing units. All these points combine and interconnect a set of sensors, such as mobility (Radars, Lidars, video cameras) and environmental sensors. Combining edge computing and cloud management to deploy the services and manage the platform, and a data platform to gather and process the data, the living lab supports a wide range of services and applications: Internet-of-things, intelligent transportation systems and assisted driving, environmental monitoring, emergency and safety, among others. This article describes the architecture, implementation and deployment to make the overall platform to work and integrate researchers and citizens. Moreover, it showcases some examples of the performance metrics achieved in the city infrastructure, the data that can be collected, visualized and used to build services and applications to the cities, and, finally, different use cases in the mobility and safety scenarios.

The future generation of mobile networks envision Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) as key enabling technologies that will foster the emergence of sophisticated use cases, with the industrial sector being one to benefit the most. This survey reviews related works in this field, with a particular focus on the specific role of network softwarization. Furthermore, the survey delves into their context and trends, categorizing works into several types and comparing them based on their contribution to the advancement of the state of the art. Since our analysis yields a lack of integrated practical implementations and a potential desynchronization with current standards, we finalize our study with a summary of challenges and future research ideas.
