Analysis and Implementation of 5G-IoT based Smart Residential Buildings using Cisco Packet Tracer 8.1

Abstract

Integration of IoT and 5G enables us to fulfil today’s need to create smart residential buildings to enhance life quality and safety in various aspects. This paper proposes the design and implementation of a 5G IoT based Smart Residential Building using the most recent version of CISCO Packet Tracer (a simulation software). Different smart IoE devices were used for automation which allow distant monitoring and controlling. Since these buildings are vulnerable to cyber-attacks and security threats, this paper also analyzes the proposed security framework and how such an implementation on using various sensors and actuators enables us to enhance the security and safety. In addition to this, we also outline the measures to be taken by the government and building owners to strengthen the security. The simulation results show that integrating 5G and IoT is a promising and cost-effective if it gets implemented practically in the real world.
