TLDR
This Chapter presents different wireless access networks intended to empower future smart cities, and discusses their features, complementarity and interoperability.Abstract:
Smart cities are envisioned to enable a vast amount of services in urban environments, so as to improve mobility, health, resource management, and, generally speaking, citizens’ quality of life. Most of these services rely on pervasive, seamless and real-time access to information by users on the move, as well as on continuous exchanges of data among millions of devices deployed throughout the urban surface. It is thus clear that communication networks will be the key to enabling smart city solutions, by providing their core support infrastructure. In particular, wireless technologies will represent the main tool leveraged by such an infrastructure, as they allow device mobility and do not have the deployment constraints of wired architectures. In this Chapter, we present different wireless access networks intended to empower future smart cities, and discuss their features, complementarity and interoperability.read more

Toward software updates in IoT environments: why existing P2P systems are not enough
TL;DR: This work proposes a decentralised approach to distribute software updates more efficiently to IoT devices using P2P, and seeks to adapt system behaviour to IoT constraints, such as device heterogeneity, unreliable network connectivity and applications specifics.
