Proposal of a standard architecture of IoT for smart cities

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) makes reference to the interconnection between different devices and internet; in the last years has been studied its development, impact and improvement, to answer to common needs of society, its requirements and to the kind of applications that demands to be developed. That contributes largely to the technology development and hence also to the growth of the cities. Nevertheless, so far applications just reply to particular necessities, so it is important to know how its structure can be developed to attend to the general requirements of cities to become those into Smart Cities, without affecting their correct performance. This paper aims to show a proposal of a standard IoT architecture for Smart Cities done from author’s research, review and analysis of available data, especially of generic and implemented structures in some Smart Cities around the world.
