“…As 5G provides very high data rates, extremely low latency, and significant improvement in users' perceived quality of service (QoS), it is expected to become more widespread in the coming years particularly in urban areas [1]; hence, interest in developing mixed reality content with high user acceptance is increasing. Mixed reality content has traditionally been used for games [2], education [3], training [4], tourism [5], and cultural exhibitions [6].…”

Mixed reality technology is being increasingly used in cultural heritage attractions to enhance visitors’ experiences. However, how the characteristics of mixed reality affect satisfaction and brand loyalty has not been explored in previous research. The purpose of this study is to identify factors affecting satisfaction with mixed reality experiences at cultural and artistic visitor attractions and their influence on brand loyalty, which is connected with management performance. We propose a theoretical model based on brand equity theory in the context of mixed reality experience. Survey data were gathered from 251 respondents visiting a cultural and artistic visitor attraction in Seoul, Korea, using a stratified sampling method. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed for the data analysis. The results suggest that the characteristics of mixed reality (interactivity, vividness) not only influence the affective aspects (perceived immersion, perceived enjoyment) of visitors’ experiences, but also positively affect brand awareness, brand association, and brand loyalty.

“…The 5G NR modulation technique and frame structure are designed to be compatible with LTE. The 5G NR duplex frequency configuration will allow alignment among 5G NR, NB-IoT and LTE-M subcarrier grids [27]. Hence, it is expected that the 5G NR user equipment (UE) will not only exist with 5G satellite networks but also coexist with satellite LTE networks.…”

The rapid growth of not just mobile devices but also Internet of Things (IoT) devices has introduced a new paradigm in mobile networks. This evolution and the continuous need to provide spectrum efficient, high data rates, low latency, and low energy consumption radio access networks have led to the emergence of fifth generation (5G) networks. Due to technical and economical limitations, the satellite air interface is expected to complement the 5G terrestrial air interface in the provision of 5G services including IoT communications. More importantly, it is on this premise that the 5G satellite air interface is expected to provide network access to IoT devices in rural and remote areas termed Internet of Remote Things (IoRT). While this remains an interesting solution, several radio resource management issues exist. One of them, spectrum management, in the 5G satellite as it affects IoRT communications, remains unclear. Hence, the aim of this paper is to investigate and recommend the spectrum management scheme that will be most suitable not only for Human-to-Human communications but also Machine-to-Machine communications in 5G satellite networks. In order to conduct this investigation, a new dynamic scheduling scheme that will be suitable for such a scenario is proposed in this paper. The investigation is conducted through simulations, using throughput, delay, spectral efficiency, and fairness index as the performance metrics.Also, recent studies estimate that approximately 4 billion people still lack access to internet [17]. The economic and technical viabilities of the implementation of terrestrial global coverage remains infeasible not only due to rural and remote areas but also passengers on high-speed trains, speed boats or aircrafts. Hence, the need for the satellite segment to complement the terrestrial network infrastructure in the envisaged 5G communication systems cannot be over emphasized in order to address the limitations of the terrestrial network infrastructure. The satellite components will also be able to support new machine-type communications-based applications and the new 5G system is expected to accommodate diverse RANs to operate together, including satellites [18]. It is also envisaged that the satellite systems can support all the use case scenarios that the terrestrial counterparts will be able to provide [19]. It is indeed well recognized that one of the directions in the evolution of the 5G is towards the concept of Internet of Things (IoT) and it is the concept of smart objects that drives the implementation of this new paradigm [20]. No doubt, the satellite communications systems have the potential to play a crucial role in this 5G framework for different reasons.Firstly, smart objects are often located over a wide geographical area, remote or inaccessible. This scenario of IoT is referred to as the Internet of (Remote) Things (IoRT). In the IoRT scenario, satellite communication systems provide a more cost-effective solution with respect to other terrestrial technologies. Secondly, s...

The demand for wearable technologies has grown tremendously in recent years. Wearable antennas are used for various applications, in many cases within the context of wireless body area networks (WBAN). In WBAN, the presence of the human body poses a significant challenge to the wearable antennas. Specifically, such requirements are required to be considered on a priority basis in the wearable antennas, such as structural deformation, precision, and accuracy in fabrication methods and their size. Various researchers are active in this field and, accordingly, some significant progress has been achieved recently. This article attempts to critically review the wearable antennas especially in light of new materials and fabrication methods, and novel designs, such as miniaturized button antennas and miniaturized single and multi-band antennas, and their unique smart applications in WBAN. Finally, the conclusion has been drawn with respect to some future directions.
