Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue, focusing on “Wireless Sensor Network, IoT, and Cloud Computing Technologies for Smart Cities”, delves into the cutting-edge innovations and applications shaping the future of urban environments. With the rapid advancements of technology, the integration of wireless sensor networks (WSNs), internet of things (IoT), and cloud computing has revolutionized the way cities operate and function.

This Special Issue features research articles, case studies, and reviews that highlight the latest developments in leveraging these technologies to create smart cities. From intelligent transportation systems to energy-efficient buildings, the contributions in this issue showcase how WSNs, IoT, and cloud computing are being harnessed to enhance urban living experiences, improve resource management, and promote environmental sustainability.

By bringing together experts and researchers in the field, this Special Issue serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding the transformative potential of wireless sensor network, IoT, and cloud computing technologies in building the cities of tomorrow.

The key topics of interest include (but are not limited to):

  1. Data Security and Privacy
  2. Energy Efficiency 
  3. Edge Computing and Fog Computing
  4. Ultra-high-speed data transmission
  5. Ultra-low latency communication
  6. Spectrum sharing and management
  7. New technologies, such as non-terrestrial networks and intelligent reflecting surfaces
