IoT and IoE Driven Smart Cities (EAI/Springer Innovations in Communication and Computing)

This book provides detail on applying Internet of Things (IoT) and Internet of Everything (IoE) in smart cities and their design aspects related to physical and network layer models. The authors explore the possibilities of utilizing communication technologies like multi-input multi-output (MIMO), narrow-band IoT (NB-IoT), ultra-reliable low latency communications (URLLC), enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), and massive machine-type communications (mMTC) for successful implementation of the IoT/IoE. The authors also address the development and advancement in cloud computing to support IoT and IoE. Research on the challenges and future predictions for efficiently implementing and exploring the benefits of smart cities are also explored. The book pertains to researchers, academics, and professionals in the field.
