Smart Mobile City Services in the 5G Era

Abstract

The major strength of the smart city concept consists of an efficient gathering of the citizens data using the fast and reliable communication infrastructure and ICT integration of different municipality sectors. The introduction of smart city will allow the creation of sustainable economic development and high quality of life by improving the key areas, such as the economy, mobility, environment, people, living, and government. The use of 5G technology in the smart city concept will enhance performance and welfare; it will also reduce cost and resource consumption. The major benefit of the smart services is that they provide multi-tenancy, shared infrastructure, multi-service, context-aware adaptation and optimized QoS/QoE mechanism according to the service needed and the infrastructure state. In that way, these services will improve the quality of life for citizens and will deliver a better user experience.
