“…The used energy in this network is extremely small in comparison with cellular networks, e.g. 50 microwatts as compared to 5000 microwatts in cellular networks [15]. On the one hand, there are low energy demands but, on the other hand, there is a data limit to only 100 bps.…”

“…It can be a disadvantage but, for many IoT devices (such as CO2 sensors), it is suitable. IoT devices connected through the SigFox network only use the network when they actually require to transmit data; in this procedure, much of the power consumption is reduced [15]. The SigFox network is starting in the Czech Republic.…”

Indoor environment has huge influence on person's health and overall comfort. It is of great importance that we realize how essential indoor air quality is, considering we spend on average as much as 90% of our time indoors. There are many factors that affect indoor air quality: specifically, inside air temperature, relative humidity, and odors to name the most important factors. One of the key factors indicating indoor air quality is carbon dioxide (CO2) level. The CO2 levels, measured in prefab apartment buildings, indicates substantial indoor air quality issues. Therefore, a proper education of the occupants is of utmost importance. Also, great care should be directed towards technical and technological solutions that would ensure meeting the normative indoor environment criteria, especially indoor air CO2 levels. Thanks to the implementation of new emerging autonomous technologies, such as Internet of Things (IoT), monitoring in real-time is enhanced. An area where IoT plays a major role is in the monitoring of indoor environment. IoT technology (e.g. smart meters and sensors) provide awareness of information about the quality of indoor environment. There is a huge potential for influencing behaviour of the users. Through the web application, it is possible to educate people and ensure fresh air supply.

In the current world, it is easy to listen that everybody and everything is connected. Over this connected world, the concept of Location-Based Services has grown in order to provide digital services in everyplace and at every time. Nevertheless, this is not 100% true because the connection is not guaranteed for many people and in many places. These are the Degraded Communications Environments, environments where the availability of highspeed communications is not guaranteed in at least the 75% of the time. This paper works over the experience of a previous work in developing light protocols that do not need broadband for communication. This work provides an extension of these protocols for the inclusion of mobile devices as elements of the communication process, and a set of libraries to allow the development of applications in Degraded Communications Environments. The work done has involved the development of two frameworks: An Android framework that makes the incorporation of Android devices easier, and a server-based framework that provides the server side for the development of the referred applications. A use case that uses these both frameworks has been developed. Finally, all technology developed is available throw a public Git repository.

“…Some of the challenges are small burst traffic, time controlled functions, varied power requirements, massive transmissions, high mobility, a large number of devices, and different QoS demands, etc. One of the most critical requirements is energy efficiency since the machine-type communication (MTC) [2] devices run on small batteries that are difficult to recharge or replace; therefore, they cannot afford complex computations that are usually used during radio resource management [3,4]. The energy efficiency of the devices should be increased by a factor of at least 10 so that the lifetime of batteries is increased tenfold.…”

Resource allocation for machine-type communication (MTC) devices is one of the keys challenges in the 5G network as it affects the lifetime of battery powered devices and also the quality of service of the applications. MTC devices are battery restrained and cannot afford a lot of power consumption due to spectrum usage. In this paper, we propose a novel resource allocation algorithm termed threshold controlled access (TCA) protocol. We propose a novel technique of uplink resource allocation in which the devices make a decision of resource allocation blocks based on their battery status and related application’s power profile that eventually leads to required quality of service (QoS) metric. The first phase of the TCA algorithm selects the number of carriers to be allocated to a certain device for the better lifetime of low power MTC devices. In the second phase, the efficient solution is implemented through inducing a threshold value. A certain value of the threshold is selected through a mapping based on a QoS metric. The threshold enhances the selection of subcarriers for less powered devices, such as small e-health sensors. The algorithm is simulated for the physical layer of the 5G network. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is less complex and achieves better performance when compared to existing solutions in the literature.
