Description
Summary:The Internet of Things (IoT) is a vital component of many future industries. By intelligent integration of sensors, wireless communications, computing techniques, and data analytics, IoT can increase productivity and efficiency of industries. Reliability of data transmission is key to realize several applications offered by IoT. In this paper, we present an overview of future IoT applications, and their major communication requirements. We provide a brief survey of recent work in four major areas of reliable IoT including resource allocation, latency management, security, and reliability metrics. Finally, we highlight some of the important challenges for reliable IoT related to machine learning techniques, 6G communications and blockchain based security that need further investigation and discuss related future directions.
