Critical Success Factors to Establish 5G Network in Smart Cities

Abstract

In order to increase and develop overall performance of Modern Network Grids in Smart Cities of India with acceptable levels of security and privacy, the internal and external factors which substantially affect the performance of network grids in Smart Cities without jeopardizing privacy and security issues are needed to be identified. Besides, the interdependencies of these critical success factors are needed to be realized clearly. This paper seeks to identify these critical factors and also takes a sincere attempt to ascertain the main driving forces among these critical success factors and to ascertain inter-relationship among the CSFs. These factors here have been identified by the help of three reliable instruments which are questionnaire based survey, brainstorming and finally consolidation by Principal Component Analysis (PCA). A total of 16 critical success factors eventually have been detected by the help of PCA and finally a pragmatic structure of inter-relationship among the CSFs been developed by the application of Interpretive Structural Model (ISM).
