TopIntroduction
With the 5G-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) (Shafique et al., 2020), humans can connect their physical environments with their digital environments at a time when human civilization is transitioning from informatization to intelligence (Chettri & Bera, 2019). Big capacity, ultralow latency, high dependability, and broad connectivity are the four qualities of the 5G communication system that are most significant for the development of IoT (Shahzadi et al., 2019). Using IoT services is now possible not just in smart cities (Wang et al., 2018) but also agriculture (Xuefei et al., 2020), medical care (Wazid et al., 2020), transportation (Dua et al., 2020), industry (Lu et al., 2020), and other fields (Zhang et al., 2020). Because 5G and wireless sensor network (WSN)-assisted IoT make it a lot easier to link the physical world with the internet (Lu et al., 2020), this is the case. Although WSN-assisted IoT presents significant risks (Zhang et al., 2020), the vast amounts of data traffic generated by a massive number of IoT devices and sensor systems may place considerable strain on the network (Cui et al., 2021), resulting in increased service disruptions and significantly reduced quality of service (QoS) (Jiang et al., 2020).
Regardless of the fact that technologically advanced terminal systems are dealing with advanced technology (Hewa et al., 2020), meeting the expectations of a computing-intensive workforce, specifically when it comes to ensuring low resource utilization and latency, can be difficult. Throughout the 5G IoT, multi-access edge computing (MEC), aka mobile edge computing technology, has been widely recognized as a significant framework (Zhang et al., 2016). In addition to reducing their own processing impact and energy efficiency (Spinelli & Mancuso, 2020), terminal appliances can offload almost all of their computational operations to an edge cloud infrastructure for processing (Spinelli & Mancuso, 2020), thereby increasing the processing productivity and effectiveness of the computing device while also providing a higher level of service (Liu et al., 2020). When MEC enabled industrial areas of expertise to continue operating in 5G environments, Guo et al. (2017) examined how this was accomplished. Giannopoulos et al. (2021) cite a study by Yang et al. that looked into the essential characteristics of MEC throughout the context of 5G as well as IoT. They also identified and described numerous fundamental core technologies that would allow MEC to be included in 5G and IoT.
