An Overview of 5G Technologies

Today, mobile IoT (m-IoT) connectivity is one of the significant enablers of Supply Chain 4.0 with its capabilities of secure connectivity over large areas at low cost and with low device complexity. The purpose of this chapter is to shed light on the evolution of m-IoT paradigm within context of supply chain management. The potential of LTE, 4G, and future 5G technologies and the impact of m-IoT enabling technologies, LTE-M, and NB-IoT on digital transformation of SCM are investigated through commercial deployments; current status and future directions are discussed in terms of supply chain efficiency and supply chain visibility. Accordingly, this chapter first outlines the technical architecture and features of NB-IoT and LTE-M technologies and then explores how m-IoT connectivity is creating value for supply chains through commercial deployment examples. Exploration of m-IoT potential on supply chain operations will ensure new insights and opportunities for further advancement and evolution of IoT paradigm as a means of productivity.

The Brain

The electroencephalogram is used in brain-computer interface (BCI) in which signal from the human brain is sensed with the help of EEG and then sent to the computer to control the external device without having any touch of muscular body parts. On the other hand, the brain chip interfacing (BCHIs) is a microelectronic chip that has physical connections with the neurons for the transfer of information. The BCI needs a reliable, high-speed network and new security tool that can assist BCI technology. 5G network and blockchain technology is ideal to support the growing needs of brain chip interfacing. Further, the Cloudmind, which is an emerging application of BCI, can be conceptualized by using blockchain technology. In this chapter, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are expedient to bridge the connectivity chasm between human and machine (computer) systems via 5G technologies, which offers minimal latency, faster speeds, and stronger bandwidth connectivity with strong cryptographic qualities of blockchain technologies.

Robotic Evolution

Cloud robotics is an emerging field which enables the web enabled robots to access the cloud services on the fly. Cloud Robotics was born by merging robotics with the cloud technologies. The robot intelligence is no more in the robot itself but remotely executed on the cloud. Robot acts as thin-client. There are several frameworks already in development and still growing. With the help of high speed networks using 4G/5G technologies, offloading of computation and storage in cloud is the further step in robotic evolution. This chapter deals the exploration of cloud robotics with its architecture, applications and existing frameworks. Also, existing research carried out is summarized in this chapter. The future challenges are discussed to foresee the opportunities in cloud robotics. It aims for the complete study on how robots leverages the cloud computing.
