| Abstract |
Significant advancements in various technologies such as Cyber-Physical systems (CPS), Internet of Things (IoT), Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), Cloud Computing, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have taken place lately. These important advancements have led to their adoption in the smart city model, which is used by many organizations for large cities around the world to significantly enhance and improve the quality of life of the inhabitants, improve the utilization of city resources, and reduce operational costs. However, in order to reach these important objectives, efficient networking and communication protocols are needed in order to provide the necessary coordination and control of the various system components. In this paper, we identify the networking characteristics and requirements of smart city applications and identify the networking protocols that can be used to support the various data traffic flows that are needed between the different components in such applications. In addition, we provide an illustration of networking architectures of selected smart city systems, which include pipeline monitoring and control, smart grid, and smart water systems. |
