Book descriptionThe Fourth Industrial Revolution, Industry 4.0, aims to significantly improve the flexibility, versatility, usability and efficiency of future smart factories. However, the concept of Industry 4.0 is not limited to the factory but also encompasses the entire life cycle of the product, from production, supplier to the end user. Industry 4.0 delivers seamless vertical and horizontal integration down the entire value chain and across all layers of the automation pyramid.Industry 4.0 has its roots in a project for the high-tech strategy of the German Government back in 2011 which led to the progression of cyber physical systems (CPS) into cyber physical production systems (CPPS). CPPS can make intelligent decisions through real-time communication and cooperation between manufacturing entities. Smart Factory, which is based on CPPS and AI, is one of the key associated initiatives of Industry 4.0. This enables flexible production of high-quality personalized products with mass efficiency. Another important aspect of Industry 4.0 is sustainable engineering systems that can help make its processes align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Sustainable and intelligent engineering systems such as 5G, Industrial IoT, Robotics and automation, Renewable Energy, logistics and even intelligent waste management can be the main enablers of Industry 4.0.Key Features:
- Explains how Industry 4.0 aims to radically improve the flexibility, versatility, usability and efficiency of future smart factories.
- Shows how Industry 4.1 and encompasses the entire life cycle of the product, from production, to supplier, to the end product.
- Helps readers with a basic engineering background come to a deeper understanding of the fundamental concepts and the state-of-the-art research trends in Industry 4.0.
Book description5G is the fifth generation of wireless technology and NR stands for a new radio interface and radio access technology for cellular networks, i.e., a physical connection method for radio-based communication.

It gives an in-depth coverage of the network architecture of 5G by considering both the network reference point architecture and the service-based architecture. It also describes all the user and control plane protocols including the standalone and nonstandalone architecture options. The radio access technologies such as the waveforms used in 5G, the multiaccess and duplexing techniques as well as the resource allocation schemes are treated in detail. Additionally, the physical layer signal processing blocks of 5G NR are covered in depth with elaborate numerical examples to illustrate the functioning of each block in the 5G downlink transmitter and receiver chain.The main originality of this book is the detailed illustration of the 5G NR preprocessing steps as well as MATLAB® simulation models with explanations of the codes to allow for a seamless understanding of the principles. In general, this book is meant for anyone with a basic engineering background who would be interested in acquiring a solid foundation in the fundamental concepts of 5G NR.Average production schedule:

Book descriptionThe aim of Driving 5G Mobile Communications with Artificial Intelligence towards 6G presents current work and directions of continuously innovation and development in multimedia communications with a focus on services and users. The fifth generation of mobile wireless networks achieved the first deployment by 2020, completed the first phase of evolution in 2022, and started transition phase of 5G-Advanced toward the sixth generation. Perhaps one of the most important innovations brought by 5G is the platform-approach to connectivity, i.e., a single standard that can adapt to the heterogeneous connectivity requirements of vastly different use cases. 5G networks contain a list of different requirements, standardized technical specifications and a range of implementation options with spectral efficiency, latency, and reliability as primary performance metrics. Towards 6G, machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) methods have recently proposed new approaches to modeling, designing, optimizing and implementing systems. They are now matured technologies that improve many research fields significantly. The area of wireless multimedia communications has developed immensely, generating a large number of concepts, ideas, technical specifications, mobile standards, patents, and articles. Identifying the basic ideas and their complex interconnections becomes increasingly important.The book is divided into three major parts, with each part containing five chapters:
- Advanced 5G communication
