Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to explore the crucial role that mobile networks and wireless sensor networks play in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT) for smart cities. It intends to bridge the gap between theoretical research and practical applications, promoting the development and integration of these technologies to enhance the efficiency, sustainability, and quality of life in urban areas.
The scope encompasses the entire spectrum of mobile networks and wireless sensor networks within the smart city IoT framework. It includes aspects such as network architectures, communication protocols, data acquisition and processing, and energy-efficient solutions. It also considers the optimization of these networks to handle large-scale data generated by IoT devices in urban environments.
This Special Issue will focus on (but is not limited to) the following topics:
- Design and implementation of advanced mobile network architectures for seamless IoT connectivity in smart cities;
- Wireless sensor network deployment strategies for effective data collection from urban environments;
- Energy-efficient techniques for sustainable sensor and mobile network operation;
- Integration of 5G and future mobile networks in smart city IoT;
- Scalable data handling and smart application enablement for urban services.
