Abstract
The information era is coming. As a popular technology in the information age, Internet of Things (IoT) can collect various types of information in real time, realize the ubiquitous connection between things and people, and process the intelligent perception, identification, and management of things, processes, and information, and environment protection through various network access methods. Applying IoT to various fields is like wrapping the Earth with a layer of “digital skin” (Gubbi et al., 2013; Bauwens et al., 2020; Li and Da Xu, 2020). Moreover, under the trend of global warming, the emergence of the theme of Energy Saving and Emission Reduction (ESER) undoubtedly poses new challenges to the development of IoT. When IoT is widely used in various life scenarios, its main purpose is to provide intelligent services and environments. IoT applications can connect any sensing device to the Internet for data transmission, so as to realize intelligent identification, tracking, positioning, and monitoring of sensing devices. In addition, IoT contains many types ofWireless Sensor Networks (WSN), which, as a part of IoT sensing layer, can meet the actual needs of people to obtain reliable data in special environments (Sadowski and Spachos, 2020). WSN is a multi-hop network which is self-organized by many sensor nodes. It has the characteristics of flexibility, fault tolerance, high awareness, low cost, strong survivability, and fast layout. Therefore, IoT has a wide range of applications, such as environmental monitoring, agriculture, military, and medical care, and can collect, process, and disseminate collected data deployed in various environments (Aman et al., 2020; Fortino et al., 2020). However, for some special scenes, many sensor nodes are often placed in areas that cannot be accessed by human beings. While enjoying the convenience brought by WSN, people are also faced with the problems that illegal personnel obtain illegitimate interests by intercepting the monitoring data transmitted in the public channel. Therefore, the attention to security issues in IoT cannot be ignored. With the increasing commercial scope of 5th Generation Mobile Communication Technology (5G) communication technology in cities, the application of IoT in power, construction, industry, intelligent transportation, agriculture, logistics, intelligence, high efficiency, and ESER is being promoted (Verma et al., 2020). Of course, applying IoT is also inseparable from the combination of 5G communication, Cloud Computing (CC), Edge Computing (EC), blockchain, AI, and other technologies. IoT can collect many data from the environment, effectively monitor, analyze, and manage energy consumption, and reasonably improve IoT by identifying and analyzing opportunities of energy efficiency improvement (Khan et al., 2020; Liao et al., 2020; Saračević et al., 2020). In summary, in today’s high-speed 5G communication technology, IoT is widely applied, and guaranteeing its performance is of high significance. Therefore, taking the practical application of IoT as the theme, this work explores the application of intelligent power, intelligent building, intelligent industry, intelligent transportation, intelligent agriculture, and intelligent logistics.

信息时代即将来临。物联网(Internet of Things, IoT)作为信息时代的流行技术,可以实时采集各类信息,实现物与人的无所不在连接,通过各种网络接入方式,对物、过程、信息、环境进行智能感知、识别、管理和保护。将物联网应用于各个领域,就像给地球裹上一层“数字皮肤”(Gubbi et al., 2013;Bauwens et al., 2020;李大旭,2020)。此外,在全球变暖的趋势下,节能减排(ESER)主题的出现无疑对物联网的发展提出了新的挑战。当物联网广泛应用于各种生活场景时,其主要目的是提供智能的服务和环境。物联网应用可以将任何传感设备接入互联网进行数据传输,从而实现对传感设备的智能识别、跟踪、定位和监控。此外,物联网包含多种类型的无线传感器网络(WSN),作为物联网传感层的一部分,可以满足人们在特殊环境下获取可靠数据的实际需求(Sadowski and Spachos, 2020)。WSN是由多个传感器节点自组织的多跳网络。它具有灵活、容错、高感知、低成本、强生存性和快速布局等特点。因此,物联网具有广泛的应用范围,如环境监测、农业、军事和医疗保健,并可以收集、处理和传播部署在各种环境中的收集数据(Aman et al., 2020;Fortino et al., 2020)。然而,对于一些特殊的场景,很多传感器节点往往被放置在人类无法进入的区域。人们在享受无线传感器网络带来的便利的同时,也面临着不法人员通过截取在公共信道上传输的监控数据获取不正当利益的问题。因此,对物联网安全问题的关注不容忽视。随着第五代移动通信技术(5G)通信技术在城市商用范围的不断扩大,物联网在电力、建筑、工业、智能交通、农业、物流、智能、高效、ESER等领域的应用正在推进(Verma et al., 2020)。当然,应用物联网也离不开5G通信、云计算(CC)、边缘计算(EC)、区块链、AI等技术的结合。物联网可以从环境中收集大量数据,有效监测、分析和管理能耗,通过识别和分析能效提升的机会,合理改善物联网(Khan et al., 2020;廖等,2020;sara eviki et al., 2020)。综上所述,在高速5G通信技术的今天,物联网应用广泛,保证其性能具有重要意义。因此,本工作以物联网的实际应用为主题,探索智能电力、智能建筑、智能工业、智能交通、智能农业、智能物流等方面的应用。编辑和评审:Rajkumar Buyya,澳大利亚墨尔本大学
