Abstract

Advancement in home automation involves wireless control of home electrical and electronic gadgets/devices using Internet of Things (IoT). With the advent of Fifth Generation (5G) technology, home automation is gaining ground in most countries as the internet services is becoming more reliable; and more smart and efficient communication devices are available in the market at an affordable price(s). In this paper, a comparative analysis (in terms of performance & electrical energy management) between 3G, 4G LTE and 5G networks-based home automation were carried out. Secondary data was obtained from related articles and analyzed. It was observed that the performance of home automation system increases with a corresponding increase in the speed of the network. Conversely, the energy consumption of the system decreases in proportion to the increase in speed of the network. The millimeter wave (mmWave)-based 5G network has data rate of up to 6.5Gbps for downlink and 3.5Gbps for uplink as compared to 4G LTE which has 2.0Gbps and 1Gbps for downlink and uplink respectively. This incredibly high speed gives 5G network an advantage over others as a viable telecommunication technology for IoT application in modern home automation.
