| Abstract | In this work, we propose using edge computing and caching to enhance wireless communications in terms of bandwidth and delay by leveraging concept of mobile 3C systems (communications, computing, and caching). First we argue that without leveraging concepts of edge computing and caching, the huge burden of data transmission and processing necessary for smart city applications and concept is going to exhaust the current wireless infrastructure. Then we demonstrate the need to merge edge computing with caching to enhance wireless communication needed for massive data collection in smart cities. To address the security concerns of using loT in smart cities, we propose using a blockchain database to secure communication between the smart city and home devices and sensors. This will provide the scalability that is necessary for data transfer between the massive number of nodes in IoT that current security protocols do not provide. |
