This
book reports on the latest advances in the modeling, analysis and efficient
management of information in Internet of Things (IoT) applications in the
context of 5G access technologies. It presents cutting-edge applications made
possible by the implementation of femtocell networks and millimeter wave
communications solutions, examining them from the perspective of the
universally and constantly connected IoT. Moreover, it describes novel
architectural approaches to the IoT and presents the new framework
possibilities offered by 5G mobile networks, including middleware requirements,
node-centrality and the location of extensive functionalities at the edge. By
providing researchers and professionals with a timely snapshot of emerging
mobile communication systems, and highlighting the main pitfalls and potential
solutions, the book fills an important gap in the literature and will foster
the further developments of 5G hosting IoT devices.
