Abstract

The paradigm of the Internet of Things seems to become the backbone of the future always connected world. The current 4G mobile infrastructures have been consistently used during the initial stages of the Internet of Things’ (IoT) evolution, but they seem not to satisfy all the speed and capacity requirements. Thus, the 5G mobile networks are expected to significantly improve the today’s 4G networks capabilities, which makes them essential for the future networks of always connected IoT devices. The efforts to expand the capabilities of the 5G technology take several pathways. Thus, this paper presents the state-of-the-art concerning the development of 5G in the context of IoT networks. It reviews the current research contributions, the essential founding technologies, and it also suggests the main research avenues and challenges that may have an impact on the development of 5G IoT networks.
