Abstract
Fifth-generation (5G) networks and the Internet of Things (IoT) demand unprecedented levels of scalability and ultra-low latency. Addressing these needs requires not only advanced radio technologies but also a cohesive integration of diverse architectural standards. In this paper, we present a unified fog computing framework inspired by ETSI and OneM2M technical literature that merges the Open Radio Access Network (O-RAN) architecture, Multi-Access Edge Computing (MEC), and the OneM2M IoT standard. This approach enables real-time resource allocation, reduces end-to-end latency, alleviates network congestion, and streamlines interoperability across heterogeneous deployments. Through a simulated testbed, we demonstrate how MEC and OneM2M elements can use near-RT RIC intel to optimize service delivery. The results highlight the feasibility and potential performance gains of an integrated O-RAN-MEC-OneM2M environment, paving the way for more robust, scalable, and efficient 5G IoT solutions.
The study concludes that intelligent edge computing architectures will play a vital role in supporting future real-time applications and next-generation 6G-enabled digital ecosystems.

Intent-Based Networking (IBN) has emerged as a promising paradigm for simplifying network management by allowing operators and applications to specify high-level service objectives rather than low-level device configurations. Early IBN research was mainly developed in Software-Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV), transport networks, core networks, and data-center environments, where programmability, virtualization, and relatively stable infrastructure models enabled intent translation, orchestration, and assurance. However, realizing IBN in end-to-end mobile networks is more challenging because the Radio Access Network (RAN) is highly dynamic, wireless-channeldependent, mobility-sensitive, and governed by multiple control timescales. The emergence of Open RAN (O-RAN) changes this landscape by making the RAN programmable, disaggregated, data-driven, and control-lable through non-real-time and near-real-time intelligent control loops. This survey reviews the evolution of IBN from SDN/NFV-enabled automation toward O-RAN-driven end-to-end intent-based networking for 5G-Advanced and 6G. We discuss architectural mechanisms, key challenges, recent advances in AI-driven and agentic IBN, and future research directions including Large Language Model (LLM)-based intent translation, contractbased O-RAN slicing, digital twin-assisted validation, and trustworthy closed-loop orchestration.

The exponential growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) applications is revealing critical limitations in current fifth generation networks (5G), especially with respect to scalability, latency, energy efficiency and intelligent resource management. These concerns make sixth-generation (6G) communication systems a near-future solution to facilitate intelligent, autonomous, and sustainable IoT ecosystems by amalgamating artificial intelligence (AI), terahertz (THz) communication, edge intelligence, semantic communication, and ultra-reliable low-latency communication (URLLC). But the research environment regarding 6G enabled IoT is still fragmented with the non-existence of a common analytical framework. In this paper, we present a structured survey and taxonomy based analytical framework for the 6G enabled IoT ecosystem. It classifies the recent works into enabling technologies, intelligent architectures, emerging applications, deployment challenges and future research directions. The requisite advancements in technologies needed for future IoT infrastructures are also highlighted through a comparison of 5G and 6G capabilities. The results of the analysis indicate that 6G can contribute to a substantial improvement of IoT performance in smart cities, healthcare, industrial automation and control applications (manufacturing science), autonomous transportation and precision agriculture. However, issues concerning cybersecurity, interoperability, sustainability, spectrum management and infrastructure cost still remain. This study is expected to enable the development of secure, scalable, intelligent and sustainable next-generation IoT systems based on collaborative edge computing.

The advent of 6G networks and the rapid growth of Internet of Things (IoT) are revolutionizing the telecommunication sector, integrating edge-cloud systems with vast amounts of data from IoT and AI techniques. These advancements make these systems essential in managing and delivering a multitude of services, offered by smart cities and industrial domains, being just a few among the many possible application scenarios. Specifically, this shift introduces complexities in orchestrating services and managing available resources while addressing challenges such as reducing latency, growing bandwidth, ensuring trust, and integrating different technologies. In this sense, this review explores the recent approaches of the state of the art focused on service orchestration in IoT edge-cloud environments, concentrating on architectures and methodologies that enable resource allocation and service management. Furthermore, it examines platforms for orchestration development, highlighting their characteristics and contributions. Finally, emerging concerns such as network topology and trust, which previous surveys have often overlooked, are discussed together with the most relevant research directions.
