| Abstract |
The devices and implementations of 5G networks are continuously improving, and people will probably use them daily in the near future. 5G networks will support ultra-dense networks. In the literature, several works apply 5G networks in smart cities and smart houses. One of the most common features of these works is to use priorities in tasks, such as the management of electrical consumption at houses, waste collection in cities, or pathfinding in self-driving cars. The proper management of priorities facilitates that urgent service requests are rapidly attended. However, to the best of our knowledge, the literature lacks appropriate mechanisms for considering users' priorities in the 5G ultra-dense networks. In this context, we propose a mobile application that allows citizens to request smart city services with different priority levels. The experiments showed the high performance of the app and its scalability when increasing priority list sizes. This app obtained 72.3% of usability in the system usability scale and 82.9% in the ease-of-use dimension of the usefulness, satisfaction, and ease of use questionnaire. |
