5G-IoT and Sustainability: Smart City Use Case

The future delivery of intelligent services and the sustainable digitalization of industry can be enhanced through the ongoing integration of Internet of Things (IoT) smart sensors with the fifth-generation (5G) wireless ecosystems. 5G-IoT technologies are intended to support a variety of use cases, each with different requirements. These applications are so diverse and demanding that 5G networks must be adaptable to a wide variety of individual scenarios. One of the main use cases for 5G-IoT technologies is smart cities, which prioritize enhancing the quality of life, fostering teamwork, and resolving resource limitations. Typical smart city networks include a plethora of services related to smart buildings, smart offices, smart industry, smart universities, smart transportation, smart health, and more. This paper aims to explore role of 5G-IoT technologies for developing sustainable smart city systems, including the role of mobile operators to enable innovative smart city services.
