The Internet of Things (IoT) is what we have as a great breakthrough in the 5G network. Although the 5G network can support several Internet of Everything (IoE) services, 6G is the network to fully support that. This paper is a survey research presenting the 5G and IoT technology and the challenges coming, with the 6G network being the new alternative network coming to solve these issues and limitations we are facing with 5G. A reference to the Control Plane and User Plane Separation (CUPS) is made with IPv4 and IPv6, addressing which is the foundation of the network slicing for the 5G core network. In comparison to other related papers, we provide in-depth information on how the IoT is going to affect our lives and how this technology is handled as the IoE in the 6G network. Finally, a full reference is made to the 6G network, with its challenges compared to the 5G network.

The recent advances in 5G and beyond wireless networking have enabled the possibility of using the cellular network as the infrastructure for wireless sensor networks, due to the high bandwidth availability and the reduced cost per data unit. In this paper, we perform an evaluation of the 5G infrastructure for sensor networks in order to quantify the performance in terms of energy efficiency and bandwidth within a testing environment. We used an ESP32 sensor with BLE-connected sensing devices for environmental conditions, and a Raspberry Pi with the Waveshare SIM8200EA-M2 5G module for cellular connectivity. We measured the power usage of each component of the system, in real conditions, as well as the power consumption for different bandwidth usage scenarios, and the end-to-end delay of the system. The results showed that the system is capable of achieving the required delay and bandwidth; however, the energy efficiency of the specific setup leaves room for improvement.
