With 5G’s aim to provide data speeds up to 10 Gbps and sub–millisecond latency, the vision of IoT to connect everyone to everything everywhere is ramping up. Smart devices connected to Internet will grow from 10 billion to 34 billion by 2020 out of which IoT alone will account for 24 billion smart devices. 40% of the world’s data (approximately 129 yottabyates) will be generated by IoT sensors and devices. In the next five years, research organizations, industries and governments collectively are expected to spend nearly $6 trillion on IoT solutions. Currently, 70% of IoT devices are based on 2G/3G as they are not manufactured for high–bandwidth networks. This is because LTE is largely deployed for mobile services. With the advent of 5G, vision of IoT has broadened. In the years to come, IoT will be one of the major 5G network service platform, which will transform the wireless communication devices beyond handset, to an end–to–end ecosystem of a smart connected world.<br>Therefore, it is crucial to develop smart cum self–organizing communication protocols and architectures for next generation wireless network, which can comply with diverse applications of IoT (like real time applications, safety critical systems, etc.). With the growth in the volume and types of smart devices in IoT along with the humungous data generated by such devices, there is a stringent need to develop smart radio technologies of variable characteristics matching the changing demand for data communication. Such smart communication protocols, architectures and radio technologies should be able to support low to high power operations, handle diverse traffic and different operating environments. On the other hand, it is also believed that upcoming 5G networks have to be engineered to meet the high data handling demands of IoT and other stringent requirements concerning spectral efficiency and energy, cost, and growing number of connected devices. Cognitive radio (CR) with its capability to use under–utilized spectrum bands, is emerging as one of the promising solution that can meet the aforesaid requirements of IoT.<br>It appears that the 5G can ideally suit the growing data communication requirements of IoT and hence, it is projected to be commercially deployed by 2020. While IoT is already being deployed and used, it still awaits faster networks, which can truly connect everything. This unique vision of 5G and IoT needs great efforts from industry, academia, government and standard bodies.
