Abstract

This chapter covers the subject of smart access systems in a world energized by 6G networks, proximity processing, digital twin modeling, artificial intelligence, machine learning, IoT devices, smartphones, and blockchain technologies. The logical representation of the system is first presented followed by the physical network architecture. Typical use cases are presented covering an entire smart city powered by 6G network, followed by targeted use cases covering residential, commercial, aviation, and industrial applications. The suite of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies used to enable the smart access are then presented with examples from different sectors. Benefits of smart access to individuals, businesses, and the society at large are presented covering personal and property security, touchless operations, asset tracking in warehouses and factories, energy conservation, and operational optimization. The chapter concludes with some thoughts about future research work that includes fiber-based distributed acoustic sensing technology and blockchain-based traceability.
