Abstract

The introduction of the Internet of Things (IoT) and 5G technologies will result in the proliferation of a large number of communicating devices in different smart environments and for different applications. Radio spectrum management including spectrum access and energy efficiency issues are examples of challenges for these new wireless communication systems. The licensed radio spectrum is credited for its reliability, quality and control. It is however subjected to congestion as the expected number of devices and "massive data" traffic grow. Unlicensed radio spectrum becomes a necessity and has been considered for IoT connectivity to allow more devices to communicate. Proper spectrum coordination and management is therefore vital for the optimal performance of different systems and applications in smart environments. Furthermore, a large increase in energy consumption is expected as a result of the large number of interconnected devices. To ensure that application requirements are met in terms of satisfactory Quality of Experience (QoE) and Service (QoS) metrics in a scalable, heterogeneous and autonomous smart environment, new radio resource management (RRM) techniques are needed. These new RRM techniques will address challenges imposed by limited spectrum, energy consumption and QoE/QoS requirements. In this paper, we present the state of the art in the application of IoT in smart environments including examples of use cases for different systems, operational requirements and enabling wireless technologies. We also present some research issues and challenges with a focus on RRM techniques as well as directions for future work.
