The Role of 5G Networks in Energy-Efficient Smart Cities Development using IoT

Abstract

In theory, residents in “smart cities” would have access to a wide range of amenities designed to enhance their daily lives by making better use of public resources and providing a more satisfying experience overall. The efficiency of these services depends on the information sharing across disparate systems serving similar functions. Large amounts of data with a variety of sophisticated, application-specific needs will likely be sent throughout the information exchange process. By better management of public resources and a focus on resident comfort, infrastructure upkeep, and environmental sustainability, “smart cities,” which rely on ICT, aim to raise the bar on service quality. Fifth-generation (5G) wireless mobile communication paves the way for a new kind of communication network that can connect everyone and everything. Impacting economies and communities, 5G will offer the connectivity infrastructure required by many smart city applications. A glimpse into the future of urban areas may be seen in the rise of “smart cities” and the IoT. The integration of many systems aimed to monitor varied components of the smart city may be utilized to generate a more sustainable and securer city. This research study presents a construction that mixes the data from diverse systems. In order to lessen the quantity of produced traffic in the 5G network and subsequently the energy consumption, suggest the usage of data aggregation in each antenna. A summary of 5G communication networks and different 5G technologies utilized in smart cities to promote sustainability is provided. The sustainability metrics for 5G networks are then examined across the environmental, social policy, and economic aspects, as well as sub-dimensions such as energy efficiency, energy usage, carbon footprint, contamination, cost, health, safety, and security. The findings indicate that while in an effort to address sustainability in 5G technology and intelligent buildings, the bulk of research publications concentrate on the environmental components of sustainability.
