Abstract

The emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies has led to the development of smart cities, potentially improving urban life through efficient and effective use of resources. The success of IoT-based applications in smart cities is contingent on several factors, including network power challenges. Deploying IoT-based applications in smart cities requires a reliable and efficient network infrastructure to ensure smooth and uninterrupted data communication. One of the significant challenges faced in this regard is low network power, which can significantly impact the performance of IoT devices and, consequently, the entire smart city system. This article addresses the issue of low network power in IoT-based applications in smart cities. It investigates the causes of this problem and the potential solutions that can be adopted to mitigate its impact. The article also highlights the importance of network power management in the context of IoT-based applications in smart cities. By implementing effective network power management techniques, it is possible to optimize the performance of IoT devices and extend their battery life, thus ensuring the overall efficiency and sustainability of the smart city system. The article concludes by emphasizing the need for continuous research and development to overcome the challenges of low network power and further enhance IoT technology's capabilities in smart cities.
