Integration of Internet of Things (IOT) In 5g Technology: Enabling Technologies, Enhancement and Challenges
Paul K.M. Masenya, Lusekelo Kibona

Abstract:
Internet of Things is growing and continues to be the up-to-date, most overvalued concept in the IT world and over the last few years, the term Internet of Things (IoT) has fascinated consideration by sticking out the idea of a worldwide infrastructure of networked physical items, allowing anytime, anywhere connectivity for whatever thing and not only for any one. To ensure a reliable connectivity, 5G necessitates a prototype modification that includes extremely high carrier frequency spectra with huge bandwidths (in mm-Wave), extreme base station densities (small dense cells), and extraordinary numbers of antennas to accommodate the massive increase in the volume of traffic. In this article a review of the technologies and different schemes that are used to deploy IoT applications in 5G networks have been discussed and it come out with an observation that combining all three technologies (massive MIMO, mm-Wave and dense small networks) will ultimately facilitate IoT services in 5G technology.. For future work research, the author recommends further research on eliminating the challenges facing mm-Wave, dense small cells and massive MIMO technology in deployment of IoT services.
