Abstract
The Internet of Things (IoT) enables the interrelation of physical things and devices that can be accessed through the internet and it simply forms a single integrated network of various things. An IoT-facilitated smart city scenario spans several sectors, such as industrial applications, public transportation, smart grid, emergency services, health care, etc. In this paper, we propose an Intelligent Proficient Data Collection Approach (IPDCA) to deliver public data in a large-scale smart city set-up. IPDCA utilizes public vehicles as the mobile data collectors (D-collectors) that read (or collect) data from multiple Access Points (APs) and send them back to the central Base Station (BS). Moreover, IPDCA adopts a modified Bat algorithm for path finding of D-collectors, where we extend the Bat algorithm to solve our discrete optimization problem. Besides, for selecting D-collectors in smart city settings, we use a multi-objective fitness function that considers the count, travelled distance, and storage of D-collectors to ensure optimal use of resources. Efficiency of the proposed mechanism is proved through simulations.

We have introduced the IPDCA: Intelligent Proficient Data Collection Approach for Internet of Things (IoT)-Enabled Wireless Sensor Networks in Smart Environments
Our approach is designed based on a two-tier architecture and is capable of handling heterogeneous data sources with mobile D-collectors in urban areas
Summary
Smart homes, smart devices, and several other smart systems are becoming ever more popular. The general view of these systems is focused on a single concept, known as IoT [1]. An IoT system can be ‘whatever’ that contains the technical components, which allow the thing to link to the Internet through a wireless or wired network. The users of the IoT can be a person, a machine, or a combination of both [2]. The vision of the IoT seeks to incorporate the sensing and actuation characteristics in everyday objects seamlessly by leveraging their network capacities to create pervasive information systems [3,4,5]. Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is often a technology used within an IoT system that supports multi-user access through a multi-application platform, and smart city is an example of such type of system
