Abstract

Urban planning for smart cities requires collecting big real-time data, specially geolocation data from GPS sensors to use in many services like finding the best location for new schools so this data must be stored in a secure place with low cost and because the storage services offered from different cloud providers like Google, Amazon Web Service, Azure, etc., is not free. For these reasons, this study proposed Internet of Things (IoT) cloud architecture using Raspberry Pi model B+ as a cloud server with MySQL database services to provide free and secure storage at a low cost. The main contributions of this study lie in the Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) server hosted in raspberry Pi to offer services in the proposed architecture of the IoT cloud with different scenarios to know the proposed architecture's ability for handling many user requests per second in terms of standard division, average elapsed time, error rate, throughput, and a number of real stored data in the database. AS a result, the proposed architecture handled 150 requests per second in real-time with an elapsed time of 1186 milliseconds without any error or data loss.

Highlights

  • The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that links any objects/things using the internet to communicate with one another and deliver better services to consumers making life simpler for them

  • Kevin Ashton initially proposed the Internet of Things concept in 1999 while working with Auto-ID Center to establish a network of items utilizing Radio-frequency Identification (RFID)[1][2]

  • The use of IoT in conjunction with the cloud is more advantageous in gaining access to limitless capabilities such as storage and processing capacity

Summary

Introduction

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that links any objects/things using the internet to communicate with one another and deliver better services to consumers making life simpler for them. Actuators, smartphones, and other intelligent devices are used as things. Smart cities, and smart agriculture are just a few examples of IoT applications. Kevin Ashton initially proposed the Internet of Things concept in 1999 while working with Auto-ID Center to establish a network of items utilizing Radio-frequency Identification (RFID)[1][2]. Because IoT has limited processing power and storage, it raises challenges such as performance, security, reliability, and privacy. The use of IoT in conjunction with the cloud is more advantageous in gaining access to limitless capabilities such as storage and processing capacity. IoT can even help the cloud by allowing it to expand its capabilities by allowing it to interact with realworld objects in a more dynamic and dispersed manner and real-time delivery of a large variety
