Abstract:
This paper presents a novel zero-touch-design information-centric wireless sensor network for smart-city applications. To promote self-growing in an autonomous-distributed environment, the proposed scheme adopts zero-touch technology implemented using micro-operators and micro-service providers with a focus on the lower layers where sensor nodes join the network. The scheme also aims to improve the overall availability by utilizing proxy caching and fragmented data management schemes. Computer simulations revealed that, for large-size sensing data (e.g., rich sensing data), the proposed scheme performs better when used with millimeter-wavelength band wireless networks. The results also showed that the scheme is effective in terms of availability and energy consumption. This study is a part of our ongoing research on the development of an ecosystem that enables a smart-city-as-a-service platform, where we are currently focused on the development and experimental trials through on-site testing.
