The IEEE Xplore Innovation Spotlight features articles on cutting-edge topics handpicked from the IEEE Xplore Digital Library of more than 6 million technical documents.
The ever-increasing demands for mobile broadband and expansion to vertical industries (automotive, satellite, internet of things) continue driving the development of wireless technology. The next major step in the evolution of 5G towards the sixth generation (6G) mobile networks is called 5G-Advanced.
5G is transforming telecommunication networks and stimulating innovation across different sectors. 5G wireless networks can provide very high data rates and excellent coverage with increased capacity, better quality, and low latency.
The adoption of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has increased globally, accelerated by the pandemic when manufacturers faced supply chain issues and workforce shortages.
Drones have become valuable assets for many military and civilian operations. However, with wider deployments come more privacy violations and security breaches, until now. Researchers believe that leveraging blockchain could enhance and simplify privacy preservation associated with data collection and analysis in 5G-enabled drones.
The maritime industry is crucial to the world economy, yet seamless connectivity is hard to come by. That's why researchers have started integrating unmanned aerial vehicles into existing maritime communication networks to create a smart ocean of opportunities.
From smart cities to smart factories, e-health to augmented reality, a new industry survey finds 5G will drive business and industry innovation forward.
