Abstract:
This paper presents an information-centric, wireless sensor network-based ecosystem for smart-city applications. The proposed scheme targets the integration of a non-terrestrial wireless network using unmanned aerial vehicles, leveraging higher frequency bands for future broadband wireless communication in disaster-resilient smart cities. To demonstrate the feasibility of the scheme, we conducted a preliminary evaluation of computer-calculation capabilities and network performance, including throughput and jitter in the application and TCP layers. In addition, as part of a scenario for disaster-information sharing systems, we conducted a video-streaming test through an on-site experiment and developed a prototype device for edge-side node device, aimed at exploring new wireless networking technologies in promising mmWave bands.
