Overview
Internet and cellular networks are found to be essential for societies and the worldwide economy. The next generation of these networks, including the 6G and Internet of Things (6G/IoT), have been recently proposed aiming to provide endless networking capabilities to the city users. General estimates revealed that the number of smart IoT devices would approach over fifty billion by 2020. With the proliferation of smart IoT devices, smart applications are expected to lead further innovation in 6G/IoT-oriented cities. Smart applications play an undeniably key role in driving the smart cities’ revolution by incorporating 6G/IoT-based solutions in ecosystems for further innovations, which rely on the notion of the on demand network infrastructure to gain immersive societal experience in the emerging smart societies and cities. Moreover, several international initiatives (e.g., the CONFINE Connected Communities, and the Smart City Canberra) have also started investigating the practicality of these future IoT solutions for measuring, exploring and designing the next generation infrastructures in smart cities, to be more secure, open, scalable, and reliable. In fact, the 6G/IoT-based solutions are evolving ever rapidly than before and an impact on the global economy in 2020 estimates around USD 2 trillion. However, these IoT-based solutions are still immature, and the need for smart and secure technologies that can integrate with the existing city infrastructure is a significant demand and can dramatically improve their capabilities in the field. Knowing that security, connectivity, and trust issues can significantly diminish the people confidence in smart cities devices/infrastructure and applications, we need to address such limitations and gaps related to security, interoperability, heritage, trust, privacy and scalability.
The aim of this special issue is to bring together researchers from academia, industry, and individuals working on relevant research areas to share their latest accomplishments and research findings within the research community.
The special issue aims to cover topics that include, but not limited to, the below topics:
Citezen-to-citezen IoT powered botnets
Security in community-based infrastructure
Resource allocation and security in 6G/IoT
QoS (Quality of Service) / QoE (Quality of Experience) in 6G/IoT
Energy Efficiency (EE) in smart cities
Trustworthness in IoT devices
Smart data security and interoperability
Secure infrastructure on demand
Immersive experience and digital community in smart cities
