Augmented and Virtual Reality Services Supported by 6G for Improving Smart Cities

The term “augmented reality” (AR) refers to the interaction of visual, aural, and other sensory upgrades in a physical environment. The smart city communication system intends to achieve seamless and safe integration of automated, efficient, and secure services with sensors and actuators for data processing tools. Moreover, Internet of Things (IoT) sensors continually convey sensory data for data processing and analysis through the media, making it difficult to coordinate, integrate, and monitor dedicated and non-dedicated sensors. This study presents an augmented and virtual reality-aided communication system (AVRCS) using 6G to improve communication in a smart city. The proposed AVRCS provides the compatibility of communication and sensing technologies, as well as the strength and longevity of services for smart cities that are specifically designed to address security and privacy concerns. In a smart city, the experimental AVRCS findings were calculated using several metrics, including transmission delay (51.1%), usability ratio (94.6%), renewable energy ratio (96.7%), energy consumption (98.2%), 5 G communication system (84.2%), and 6G communication system (95.2%).
