TL;DR: An introduction to the motivation and concepts of autonomic computing is provided and some research that has been seen as seminal in influencing a large proportion of early work is described, including the works that have provided significant contributions to an established reference model.

TL;DR: It becomes critically important to study how the current approaches to standardization in this area can be improved, and better understand the opportunities for the research community to contribute to the IoT field.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive overview of the most promising modulation and multiple access (MA) schemes for 5G networks is presented, including modulation techniques in orthogonal MA (OMA) and various types of non-OMA (NOMA).

TL;DR: A deep-dive is carried out into the main security mechanisms and their effects on the most popular protocols and standards used in WSN deployments, i.e., IEEE 802.15.4, Berkeley media access control for low-power sensor networks, IPv6 over low- power wireless personal area networks, outing protocol for routing protocol forLow-power and lossy networks (RPL), backpressure collection protocol, collection tree protocol, and constrained application protocol.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that: 1) the coverage probability of NOMA enhanced small cells is affected to a large extent by the targeted transmit rates and power sharing coefficients of two N OMA users; 2) massive MIMO enabled macro cells are capable of significantly enhancing the spectrum efficiency by increasing the number of antennas; 3) the energy efficiency of the whole network can be greatly improved by densely deploying NOMa enhanced small cell base stations.
