Abstract
Motivation. Standardization in smart city applications is restricted by the competitive pressures of proprietary innovation and technological compartmentalization. Interoperability across networks, databases, and APIs is essential to achieving the smart objectives of technology-supported urban environments. Methodology. The issues that smart cities face, as well as the usage of blockchain in Internet of Things (IoT) applications, are discussed in this research paper. Problem Statement. The study shows the obstacles to the establishment of an IoT-driven smart city agenda, including system security, dispersed node interoperability, data resource management, and scalability of a diverse IoT network. Results. To resolve these challenges, this research proposes a working infinite loop model for establishing a standardized, intermediary cloud-based blockchain for IoT networking within smart cities. The blockchain intermediary function will resolve critical gaps in the existing, distributed IoT-based smart cities’ standards, drawing connections between nodes, users, and service providers that are enabled through autonomous, immutable, and nonrepudiated transactions.
Highlights
While the fabric of current urban areas is an enabler of communal action, Finger and Razaghi [34] contend that it is the complex and dynamic sociotechnical interface between individuals and systems that generates chances for smart, data-driven city characteristics. e concept of smart city ecology is based on the “pervasive penetration of cities by ICTs” (Information and Communication Technologies) as a system approach to the digitalization of the infrastructure nodes, connections, and interfaces essential for humantechnology convergence [35]
A richness of dynamic and static resources is regarded as underscoring the fundamental purpose of the smart city [36]
Stone et al [36] propose that the technological underpinnings for most early-phase smart city applications are built on static data mining and information management resources, rather than the practical initiatives associated with more dynamic network interactions
Summary
Smart city technology interoperability is being restricted by corporate commercial goals; hence, a unifying solution that connects IoT nodes across urban fabric is urgently needed to facilitate technological interoperability [13]. is research paper aims to critically examine the current level of progress in IoT-based smart city solutions and to provide a framework for blockchain integration into IoT-based smart city applications.
