Interconnected IoT Smart Spaces: Requirements from a critical 5G vertical

IoT is recognized as the key vertical technology area that will deeply integrate and make use of the upcoming innovative 5G network control and localization solutions. Industry 4.0 for future factory automation, Intelligent Traffic Systems (ITS) for autonomous vehicles, eHealth for smart medicines packaged with wireless modules, and Smart Energy are some of the key 5G vertical scenarios which all have IoT platforms as core enabling technology. This paper presents some key design results on the interoperation of IoT Smart Spaces from the H2020 symbIoTe project and derives some specific requirements on 5G networks originating from the design and implementation activities on IoT Smart Spaces
