Abstract
IoT is well-defined as the internet of things that develop an assembly between thing
and statement. IoT is much stuff for many persons, a system of devices and home-based
appliances. Term thing means it might be an individual. There are various uses of IoT such as
smooth traffic, automation, smart home, involuntary home application scheme and
manufacturing observing. IoT is an radical technology and it is growing quickly in the
worldwide in previous five years (Latre, Leroux, Coenen, Braem, Ballon, & Demeester,
2016). IoT is a cutting-edge innovation and it is expanding quickly in the worldwide in a
most recent couple of years. IoT changed the method for correspondence and it created
numerous urban areas which are called brilliant urban areas. There are numerous uses
of the web of thing in shrewd urban communities, for example, checking and controlling
of social insurance frameworks, in guard, observing of transports frameworks and in a
correspondence framework (Zanella, Bui, Castellani, Vangelista, & Zorzi, 2014). The
principal goal of this exploration paper is to portray the part of the internet of thing in
keen urban areas and how this trend-setting innovation changes the method for
correspondence. In this cutting-edge age, extensive quantities of people are moving into
urban communities in light of the fact that IoT is the advanced innovation which
changed the method for correspondence. Shrewd urban areas give a stage to oversee
numerous segments, for example, wellbeing and public care packages, transportations
frameworks, vitality backgrounds, structure, and condition. This paper is clarifying the
part of IoT in keen urban areas, different uses of brilliant urban communities, their
points of interest, and detriments (Arasteh, Hosseinnezhad, Loia, Tommasetti, Troisi,
Shafie & Siano, 2016).
There are various authors that researched on IoT smart cities and investigated
that this technology is the advanced innovation which enhances proficiency and
profitability of any association and business. There are numerous favorable
circumstances of this innovation is shrewd urban areas, for example, more productive,
more secure, enhance transportation frameworks, enhance the method for
correspondence, expanded open wellbeing, and decrease time utilization. There are a
couple of issues happen in IoT shrewd urban communities, for example, control
utilization, required more wired links, it delivers greater security dangers, and complex

to plan. The reason for this paper is to depict diverse kinds of issue happen in keen
urban communities and furthermore clarify aversion techniques.
Introduction
IoT is an advanced technology which is used for communication purpose and the
main advantage of this technology is that it provides a platform to create
communication between two or more devices by using the internet. There are many
examples of IoT smart cities such as public transports information system, monitoring
and controlling system for traffic jams, and detection of pollution status, real-time
location, and energy consumption (Centenaro, Vangelista, Zanella, & Zorzi, 2016). There
are many aims of IoT smart cities such as produce more opportunities and support for a
better living, to make a improved utilization of the municipal services and capitals,
decreasing the operational cost of public resources, and change the way of
communication.
The main purpose of this paper is to describe role of IoT in smart cities and how
IoT change the way of communication (Ji, Ganchev, O'Droma, Zhao, & Zhang, 2014). The
main problem occur in this technology is lack of security and also produce many
security risks which is explain in this paper and it is evaluated that in 2030 around 60%
of individuals will embrace this innovation and furthermore moves towards the keen
urban communities (Memos, Psannis, Ishibashi, Kim, & Gupta, 2018).
Literature review
There are numerous writers that research on the internet of thing and provided
any information and data which are discus in this chapter.

Kachare. The main objective of this paper is to evaluate the role of IoT
in smart cities and how IoT change the way of communication. This
paper explains the concept of IoT in smart cities and also explain the
concept of the internet of thing.
CRITIQUE According to this research paper, IoT is one of the most important
technologies for communication and it changed the way of
communication. In smart cities, this technology plays an important
role because it improved communication system and provide a
platform to communicate with other devices through the internet.
According to author, around 70% of people moved into smart cities
because they want to use this modern technology.

SUMMARY The title of this paper is developing an IoT smart city framework which
was written by Evangelos Theodoridis, Georgios Mylonas, Ioannis
Chatzigiannakis. This journal paper is clarifying technological
challenges in smart cities and the importance of IoT in smart cities.
CRITIQUE In the last few years, there are numerous writers investigated on this
topic and detected that IoT is a domain which provides a platform for
communication between two devices using the internet. According to

this paper in the next 10 years, this technology will grow to over fifty
billion. In smart cities, the biggest problem is the power that means
IoT required many sensors which work on power so it required more
power which is very difficult.

SUMMARY The title of this paper is the internet of thing for smart cities which was
written by Andrea Zanella, Nicola Bui, Angelo Castellani, Lorenzo
Vangelista, and Michele Zorzi. This paper is explaining the protocols
and architecture of IoT in the arena of smart cities.
CRITIQUE According to the author to design architecture of IoT is the very
complex task it required more effort to link all devices with other
components. The best application of IoT is smart cities and it increased
the process of communication. This paper describes threats and
problem occur in smart cities and the role of IoT in communication
systems.
Recommendation
IoT play a significant part in the field of Smart cities but there are few drawbacks
of this technology such as power consumption, less secure, increase security risks, and
more complex to design. This type of problem can be reduced by improving the
efficiency of electronic devices and components. To reduce security risks they can
improve quality and security systems when IoT is used for communication purpose. Use

encryption method when data transfer from one device to another which can reduce
security risks.
Future Research
There are several writers studied on this subject and they investigated that there
is main two common problems occur when IoT used in smart cities such as lack of
security, and power consumption (Anagnostopoulos, Zaslavsy, Medvedev, &
Khoruzhnicov, 2015). In the future research, authors can provide implementation
method to reduce this type of problem in smart cities. In future research, we can
identify various resources to reduce drawbacks of IoT technology and also evaluate the
different process to increase the overall efficiency of this technology (Orsino, Araniti,
Militano, Alonso, Molinaro, & Iera, 2016).
Advantages
 More efficient
 Flexible
 Required less time
 Low in cost (Rathore, Ahmad, Paul, & Rho, 2016).

 High-security threats and risks (Bohli, Skarmeta, Moreno, García, &
Langendörfer, 2015).
Conclusion
IoT is a modern technology which is used for communication purpose and it
provides a platform to intact with devices by using an internet connection. In smart
cities, it plays a significant role because it changed the way of communication. This
paper has explained the importance of the internet of thing in smooth cities and how
people use this innovation for communication purpose. There are main two key factors

which are the main problem for this technology such as lack of security, and power
consumption. There are many examples of smart cities such as traffic lights,
transportation systems, tracing of any signal, and automatic lighting systems. The
problem of power can be reduced by improving the efficiency of all electronic devices
and components.
