1IoT SMART CITIES
Abstract: IoT is an emerging technology where the devices are associated with
communicating with the other devices or to the network by making use of the internet. The
large scale adaptation of the IoT has been done by almost every fields which are associated
with making the lives of people much easier. The IoT has been applied in the cities as well
which has been associated with making the lives of people easy by simplifying the way of
life. The implementation of IoT is associated with bringing a lot of advantages as well as
disadvantages. The data is collected by making use of the various sensors which are then
processed and analysed in order to monitor and manage the various kind of activities
occurring inside a city. This report would be associated with discussing about the
implementation of the IoT in the cities so as to make the lives of people easier. Thus, it can
be stated that the Smart City implementation in a IoT environment is an extensive process
that should be taken up by different countries nowadays to cope up with the technological
transformation of the contemporary world. It is understandable that an urban IoT would be
able to bring about huge benefits right from its inception to management and optimization of
different urbanized system of a city, like traffic services, crime management, surveillance and
many others. Therefore, there must be a research done for the IoT technology implementation
in Smart Cities.

Introduction
The recent communication paradigm of the future technological development that has
the potential to transform everything around the human world and equip communications
with digital and microcontroller-based communication is the Internet of Things or IoT
(Arasteh et al., 2016). Nowadays, IoT is being utilized for developing Smart Cities, which
would enable easy and accessible interaction with a huge number of different equipment like
the appliances used at home, cameras responsible for surveillance, sensors associated with
monitoring, actuators, and many more. This would be the topic for the further research that
would follow as below.
The structure of the report would follow a simple research methodology that would
describe all the aspects of implementing a latest technology of introducing an IoT based
technology in a Smart City for any specific country (Centenaro et al., 2016). This would be
described with a Smart City concept and services that the IoT implementation in Smart City
provides, comprising of the different aspects of a Smart City starting from the health of
structure that the buildings are having to the management of the Waste, Monitoring of Noise,
reduction in the traffic congestion, consumption of energy and many more. This will be
followed by the Web Service approach of the IoT service Architecture and its entire
specification, which would enable to check for the specification for a particular country
according to their needs. The urban IoT Architecture would be described by the different
technologies that would be used for the same. A literature review would be associated with
providing an overview of the various works that has been done on this topic.
Purpose of the report
Given the complex scenario of the modern world, where with every upgrade of the
technological world, adding to the urbanization of the society has made adopting the latest

technological developments; the incorporation of IoT has become inevitable in the modern
society. Therefore, various governmental powers all around the world have been giving into
the push of adapting to these technological advancements and invested into developing the
Smart Cities. It is understandable that an urban IoT would be able to bring about huge
benefits right from its inception to management and optimization of different urbanized
system of a city, like traffic services, crime management, surveillance and many others.
Therefore, there must be a research done for the IoT technology implementation in Smart
Cities. The structure of the research report would be described below detailing to all the
aspects of the research regarding successful implementation of IoT in Smart Cities. This
research would be done keeping in mind about all the advantages of the IoT technology as
well as the shortcomings that would create problems while implementing the new technology
to enhance urbanization.
The field of application that is imposed as a result forms a heterogeneous mode of
approach for satisfying all the requirements. Along with this the application of the
heterogeneous field is associated with helping in the identification of the solutions which
would be associated with satisfying the requirements in order to solve all the problems faced
in the application scenarios along with avoiding the various kind of challenges (Latre et al.,
2016). This kind of difficulties ate responsible for the propagation of various kind of
incompatible proposals that are needed in order to have a practical realization of IoT systems
that are being used in the cities.
Problems faced by the IoT Smart Cities:
IoT is an emerging technology and brings a lot of benefits. IoT is associated with
making the lives of become much easy. This technology has already been adopted by almost
each and every field. This technology has been associated with making various kind of work
