Implementation of Context-Aware Environments with Massive IoT Systems

© 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.In this chapter, we will describe the framework for IoT evolution, from current LPWAN/5G connectivity to future B5G systems, taking advantage of sub-THz (mainly in the 100¿300 GHz frequency range) and THz bands (up to 10 THz). The requirements in terms of device integration, node density, interference, and energy handling will be described. Coverage/capacity estimations for different case uses within dense urban/urban/suburban settings will be presented, based on deterministic volumetric wireless channel estimation. Different application scenarios, such as the evolution of current IoT applications towards sensing networks, will be discussed, based on the description of three realistic use case scenarios.
