Scope
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has been proposed as the latest industrial revolution, which is powered by the ubiquitous connectivity based on 5G and 6G communication techniques. The idea of IIoT has been introduced into many scenarios, e.g., smart factories, smart grid, smart mining farms, and many others. IIoT has been supported by many techniques, including the next-generation communication techniques (5G, 6G, and satellite-terrestrial integrated networks), the new computing paradigms (fog, edge and mist computing), the fast-growing terminals (UAVs, robots, smart meters, etc.) and the emerging new techniques (big data, artificial intelligence, and digital twin).
IIoT is the basis of developing Industry 4.0. In Industry 4.0, standard communication protocols are used to connect heterogeneous devices, including sensor actuators, RFID tags, embedded computers, and mobile devices, and big data techniques are used for intelligent analysis for the massive IoT data. IIoT is effective for improving the connectivity, flexibility and efficiency of Industry 4.0, by establishing an intelligent network for data exchange, system control and industrial automation.
The rapid development of Industrial Internet of Things has brought up many opportunities both in the academia and the industry, e.g., cloud-based manufacturing, cyber physical production system, big data analytics for system design, digital twin-enabled product development, and smart product-service system. However, how to integrate IIoT with 5G, 6G, big data and artificial intelligence has not been fully resolved and many issues still exist. Meanwhile, the requirement of developing Industry 4.0 also arises more challenges for IIoT.
In this special issue, we aim to collect papers with latest progresses and results in 5G-enabled Industrial Internet of Things, in both theories and applications.
Topics of interest to this special issue include, but are not limited to:
- New models and architectures for Industrial Internet of Things;
- Big data for Industrial Internet of Things;
- Intelligent data analysis for Industrial Internet of Things;
- Cloud computing for Industrial Internet of Things;
