The junction of both revolutions, the Internet of Things and mobile technologies, seems to be the key of the future. However, most works about this solution use a really simplified scenario, where the application of the mobile technologies to the IoT is problems-free. In this paper, we present a study considering the problems of the handovers in LTE and 5G networks. This view allows us to discover new challenges and limitations to the 5G-based IoT operation.
