Abstract

The convergence of next-generation wireless communication technologies and modern energy infrastructure presents a promising path toward sustainable and intelligent systems. This survey explores how beyond-5G and 6G communication technologies can support the greening of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) systems and smart grids. It highlights the critical challenges in achieving energy efficiency, interoperability, and real-time responsiveness across different domains. The paper reviews key enablers such as LPWAN, wake-up radios, mobile edge computing, and energy harvesting techniques for green IoT, as well as optimization strategies for 5G/6G networks and data center operations. Furthermore, it examines the role of 5G in enabling reliable, ultra-low-latency data communication for advanced smart grid applications, such as distributed generation, precise load control, and intelligent feeder automation. Through a structured analysis of recent advances and open research problems, the paper aims to identify essential directions for future research and development in building energy-efficient, resilient, and scalable smart infrastructures powered by intelligent wireless networks.

期刊介绍： Sensors (ISSN 1424-8220) provides an advanced forum for the science and technology of sensors and biosensors. It publishes reviews (including comprehensive reviews on the complete sensors products), regular research papers and short notes. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
