IEEE IoT Newsletter - September 2021

Resilient Smart Built Environments: Research Directions
Charith Perera and Yasar Majib
Smart Infrastructure is composed of physical and digital Infrastructure. It aims to improve data-driven decision-making and enable the faster and cheaper operation and maintenance (e.g., better whole-life value). As a society, we increasingly depend on 'smart' Infrastructure that is internet-connected and deployed across many sectors around us, such as transportation, energy, water, and, more importantly, buildings.

MIMO and IRS: Enablers for Energy Efficient Wireless Sensor Networks
Muhammad Ali Jamshed and Masood Ur Rehman
The commercialization of 5G new radio (NR) will be able to support three types of connectivities with heterogeneous traffic requirements, i.e., massive machine-type communication (mMTC), ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC), and extended mobile broadband (eMBB).
The Convergence of Technologies to Provide Security on IoT Edge Devices
Carlos Moratelli, Sergio Johann, Everton de Matos, Francisco Assis M. Nascimento, Gabriel Rossi Figlarz, and Fabiano Hessel
The Internet changed to a model where billions of everyday objects are interconnected, the Inter-net of Things (IoT). Since the direct IoT-Cloud model works poorly for a fair share of all applications, it changed to a layered architecture. Thereby, Fog and Edge layers were added to the IoT architec-ture as an alternative to diminish cloud communication and perform faster responses.
IoT in Smart Cities: Homogeneous Communication Architecture Imperative for the Heterogeneous Applications Environment
N. Kishor Narang
The extensive work done by various global SDOs has comprehensively defined the frameworks & roadmap for future ICT Infrastructures. However, the disruptive paradigm of the Internet of Things has given rise to new aspects in the way humans, machines, and things are going to communicate with each other soon.

IEEE Internet of Things Magazine
