Cellular Internet of Things white paperBjörn Ekelund
GSM is widely used today for millions of devices, as its costs are relatively low, but mobile broadband technologies are more expensive, may have worse coverage, and take too much power for things that may have to work for years on small batteries. Though many “things” may be connected using short range wireless, many more will be beyond the reach of systems like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or Zigbee.
A group of industry players, including network and device suppliers, operators and academics, brought together by Vodafone, has been looking at the problem of supporting the “Internet of Things” for the past year and has recently published a White Paper outlining the options. These include further new features in LTE that would be defined through 3GPP; or an alternative “clean slate” cellular standard defined specifically to meet the needs of the IoT. Any future system will need to connect “things” that don’t have large amounts of data to communicate; can be in hard-to-reach locations such as manholes, meter closets, and in very isolated locations; and need to operate for years on small batteries.

Internet of Things (IoT) represents a remarkable transformation of the way in which our world will soon interact. Much like the World Wide Web connected computers to networks, and the next evolution connected people to the Internet and other people, IoT looks poised to interconnect devices, people, environments, virtual objects and machines in ways that only science fiction writers could have imagined.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a crucial role in automating processes, managing complexity, scalability, and using information from distributed systems in real time.

The demand for bandwidth is soaring worldwide. More people in more places are connecting for work,
entertainment, social communication, and education, and they’re increasingly using mobile phones, tablets,
and other easy-to-carry devices. And in many developing parts of the world, mobile phones are often the only
internet-access technology that’s both affordable and available.
To meet the new connectivity requirements of the emerging IoT segment, 3GPP has taken evolutionary steps on both the network side and the device side. A single technology or solution cannot be ideal to all the different potential IoT applications, market situations and spectrum availability. As a result, the 3GPP standardizing several technologies, including Extended Coverage GSM (EC-GSM), LTE-M and NB-IoT.
LTE-M, NB-IoT and EC-GSM are all superior solutions to meet IoT requirements as a family of solutions, and can complement each other based on technology availability, use case requirements and deployment scenarios. The evolution for these technologies is shown in figure #5. Technical studies and normative work for the support of Machine Type Communication (MTC) as part of 3GPP LTE specifications for RAN began in 3GPP Release 12 and are continuing with the goals of developing features optimized for devices with MTC traffic.
5G wireless networks will support 1,000-fold gains
in capacity, connections for at least 100 billion
devices, and a 10 Gb/s individual user experience
capable of extremely low latency and response times.
Deployment of these networks will emerge between
2020 and 2030.

The expansion of the Internet of Things IoT implies progressively dynamic client gadgets on the Internet. IoT devices can be ordinary articles from vehicles, advanced mobile phones to wearable sensors. Huge measures of information are produced by IoT devices through the assortment and transmission of information required for the yield of valuable results and in this way, an ef cient approach to work is significant. In the public eye today, mobile communication and mobile computing play a critical job in each part of our lives, both individual and open correspondence. By utilizing Cloud Computing with IoT, data computations are situated outside the devices henceforth diminishing the strain on the devices themselves. IoT devices are additionally frequently portable and with versatility comes the need to have wireless connections to the cloud. Therefore, Mobile Cloud Computing MCC gets appropriate. However, the development in mobile computing use can be improved by coordinating portable figuring into distributed computing. This will bring about developing another model called Mobile Cloud Computing MCC that has as of late pulled in a lot of consideration in the academic sector. This paper investigates its features, advantages, applications, and difficulties of Mobile Cloud Computing. Research endeavours towards the execution of Mobile Computing are additionally talked about giving an understanding of the fate of the innovation.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

What Benefits Does the Internet of Things Take from Satellite Communication?
1. What Benefits Does the Internet of
Things Take from Satellite
Communication?
The Internet of Things (IoT), as its name implies, relies heavily on the Internet, but
another technology has played a vital role in helping the connected global
economy develop, and that is the satellite technology. While many consumer-
centric devices rely heavily on the mobile networks, which are terrestrial-based,
business-centric applications often need the greater reach and reliability offered by
the satellite technology. Here are some services and benefits that come directly
from satellites, without which the Internet of Things just wouldn’t survive.
Satellites Allow Businesses to Connect to Remote Assets
One of the ways modern businesses use the Internet of Things and the related tech
it has developed, is to connect the businesses that extend across various
geographical areas. Monitoring assets, communicating with remote facilities and
managing unmanned, remote sites can all be done through the power of connected
technology. Without satellite technology, none of this would be possible. This,
then, would greatly increase the expenses that the modern business faces, or would
2. end up preventing certain operations from happening in the modern business
world.
To the average observer, terrestrial mobile networks appear sufficient to cover this
need, but this is not the case in all areas of the world. Off Comm News indicates
that large mobile providers have been providing this type of connectivity with
great success, but “the story is different in areas where mobile network coverage is
patchy, or in geographies like North Africa, the Nordics and deep into the Eurasian
landmass, where it is often non-existent.” In these instances, satellite may be the
only way to track assets or communicate with facilities.
Improving Mobile Connectivity Beyond Smartphones
Imagine a future where sensors on trains allow a remote manager to monitor
location, speed and even the cabin temperature as passengers travel to and from
work. Imagine a world where cargo vehicles and even ships at sea have sensors
and connectivity to allow them to stay constantly on the radar of their dispatcher
back at the office. This is no longer a future scenario, thanks to the Internet of
Things.
However, this type of innovative mobility requires the ability to reach vehicles no
matter where they are, even if they are in remote areas far from base operations.
Again, mobile networks break down in many parts of the world, and satellite
technology is necessary for the connected devices used to track vehicles in this
way to actually function properly and continue to convey the data they are
designed to convey.
Improved Reliability and Speed
As companies develop more and more devices and services connected to the
Internet of Things, those same companies need a way to ensure that the services
they provide are going to be reliable. Satellite technology allows more reliability
for IoT devices and services than land-based networks alone. For applications that
demand always-on connectivity, satellite integration is essential.
Similarly, speed is becoming increasingly important to IoT developers and the
people who use their services. According to Randy C. Roberts of Bosch, “the
emergence of IoT is therefore driving up the demand for high broadband speeds to
support bandwidth-intensive applications in real time. Users need to invest in
3. mobile satellite equipment designed to deliver industry-leading broadband speeds
with ease.”
Satellites Foundational for M2M Communication
Machine to Machine (M2M) communication is paramount to the Internet of Things
landscape, and satellite technology is foundational for the development of this
technology. According to NSR, by 2023 the world will have an estimated 5.8
million satellite M2M and IoT connections. Because M2M communication must be
reliable, these applications often rely on satellite, rather than terrestrial networks
like many consumer-facing devices and applications.
The connection between the Internet of Things and satellite technology continues
to grow. As more and more devices become connected, that link is going to
continue to expand, proving the true benefit of satellite technology in the modern
connected world.
