Enabling Mobile and Wireless Technologies for Smart Cities: Part 2

The articles in this special section focus on communications technologies for use in smart cities. Due to advancements in communication and computing technologies, smart cities have become the main innovation agenda of research organizations, technology vendors, and governments. To make a city smart, a strong communications infrastructure is required for connecting smart objects, people, and sensors. Smart cities rely on wireless and mobile technologies for providing services such as healthcare assistance, security and safety, real-time traffic monitoring, and managing the environment, to name a few. Such applications have been a main driving force in the development of smart cities. Without the appropriate communication networks, it is really difficult for a city to facilitate its citizens in a sustainable, efficient, and safer manner/environment. Considering the significance of mobile and wireless technologies for realizing the vision of smart cities, there is a need to conduct research to further investigate the standardization efforts and explore different issues/challenges in wireless technologies, mobile computing, and smart environments.
