Synergies of 6G and IoTUtgave 1

Explores the future of hyperconnected systems through the convergence of 6G and IoT

Synergies of 6G and IoT explores the unprecedented opportunities that arise when next-generation wireless networks meet the Internet of Things (IoT). An in-depth investigation of two transformative technologies reshaping our digital landscape, this timely volume addresses the urgent need to understand how 6G’s ultra-fast, low-latency networks will enable the next evolution of the Internet of Things.

Drawing on case studies, real-world applications, and research insights, Synergies of 6G and IoT not only outlines the technological underpinnings of 6G-IoT integration, but also discusses the broader societal and industrial implications. Contributions by an interdisciplinary panel of experts examine how technologies such as terahertz communication, edge intelligence, reconfigurable intelligent surfaces, and non-terrestrial networks are driving innovation across sectors ranging from smart cities to precision healthcare.

Bridging next-generation connectivity and intelligent systems for a fully integrated, hyperconnected future, Synergies of 6G and IoT:

• Addresses the convergence of 6G and IoT through interdisciplinary frameworks across telecommunications, computer science, and engineering
• Highlights various applications in smart cities, precision healthcare, intelligent transportation, and automated manufacturing
• Features emerging scenarios demonstrating 6G-IoT integration in both industrial and societal contexts
• Analyzes edge computing, AI-driven automation, and sustainable network infrastructure in the context of 6G IoT ecosystems
• Provides a future-facing perspective on security, privacy, and quantum-enhanced technologies within massive IoT environments
• Offers practical models and conceptual frameworks to support system design and policy development for connected infrastructures

Synergies of 6G and IoT is ideal for undergraduates and postgraduates studying IoT, 6G technologies, and computer science, particularly in advanced courses on wireless communication systems and emerging network technologies within engineering and computing programs. It also serves as an up-to-date reference for doctoral researchers, postdoctoral fellows, and industry professionals working in telecommunications, smart systems, and digital infrastructure development.
