The transition to 6th Generation (6G) cellular networks offers significant improvements over 5th Generation (5G), enhancing data transfer, reducing latency, and improving network reliability. Advanced Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology in 6G boosts network efficiency, particularly benefiting Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications (URLLC). This paper reviews literature on resource management in the Internet of Things (IoT) within the 6G context. We categorize the study into four segments: network-aware resource management, dynamic resource allocation, predictive resource distribution based on traffic and architecture, and energy-centric resource allocation considering IoT device mobility and location. We provide a detailed perspective on current research and highlight future research avenues. Key contributions include a comparative study of IoT resource management techniques, an overview of resource management across LTE, 5G, and 6G networks, insights into applications like Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Industrial IoT (IIoT), and Mobile CrowdSensing (MCS), and an emphasis on upcoming challenges. We emphasize the crucial role of efficient resource management in IoT, particularly in the 6G landscape.
