Internet of things (IoT); internet of everything (IoE); tactile internet; 5G-A (not so evanescent) unifying vision empowered by EH-MEMS (energy harvesting MEMS) and RF-MEMS (radio frequency MEMS)

摘要

This work aims to build inclusive vision of the Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of Everything (IoE), Tactile Internet and 5G, leveraging on MEMS technology, with focus on Energy Harvesters (EH-MEMS) and Radio Frequency passives (RF-MEMS). The IoT is described, stressing the pervasivity of sensing/actuating functions. High-level performances 5G will have to score are reported. Unifying vision of the mentioned paradigms is then built. The IoT evolves into the IoE by overtaking the concept of thing. Further step to Tactile Internet requires significant reduction in latency, it being enabled by 5G.
