This book discusses several exciting research topics and applications in the intelligent Heterogenous Networks (Het-Net) and Internet of Things (IoT) era. We are resolving significant issues towards realizing the future vision of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) in IoT-enabled spaces. Such AI-powered IoT solutions will be employed in satisfying critical conditions towards further advances in our daily smart life. This book overviews the associated issues and proposes the most up to date alternatives. The objective is to pave the way for AI-powered IoT-enabled spaces in the next generation Het-Net technologies and open the door for further innovations. The book presents the latest advances and research into heterogeneous networks in critical IoT applications. It discusses the most important problems, challenges, and issues that arise when designing real-time intelligent heterogeneous networks for diverse scenarios.
