Evolution from IoT to IoE Era in China

Abstract

China’s IoT has been booming since 2009 and has gradually become an important part of China’s new social infrastructure and the key to supporting the development of China’s digital economy. Its technology and application innovation emerge in endlessly and occupy an important position in the development of smart city. According to the latest data, the proportion of smart cities in China’s IoT industry is the largest, followed by industrial IoT with 20%, smart home with 18% and IoV with 16%. Looking forward to the future IoT, IoV is an important part of national transportation development and personal travel. China’s IoV adopts LTE-V2X cellular communication technology and gradually transits to 5G-V2X through NR-V2X. With the development of China’s IoV, China has made great achievements in automobile manufacturing, communication and information, and road infrastructure construction. On the other hand, China is playing a more and more important role in the formulation of international C-V2X, 5G and other new generation communication standards. By the end of October 2020, the total number of automatic driving patents in the world has exceeded 70,000, of which the overall authorization rate of automatic driving patents in China is close to 42%. In 2020, smart home accounts for 43%, IoV 11%, public health 8% and smart agriculture 7%. The most important connection center of personal IoT in family scene is mobile phone. The most important connection center of personal IoT in work scenario is PC. College students are mainly connected around personal intelligent products in the campus scene. In the scene of going out, users usually swipe their cards in public transportation and subway through personal intelligent products. About half of the people in sports choose to use smart bracelets/watches to improve their sports efficiency. China’s IoT connection content is also constantly enriched, more and more toward the development of the era of IoE.
