Abstract
The Wireless Sensor Networks and IoT are evolving technologies in the paradigm of Smart Cities. Interconnection among smart devices is to be done to provide the ease of communication using these technologies. Sensors are deployed in smart devices and embedded systems which are further integrated with Internet of Things to impart advanced facilities for developing smart cities. This paper explores the transformative role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) for smart city development. By leveraging AI-driven data analytics, predictive modeling, and automation, IoT and WSNs can optimize urban resource management, improve infrastructure efficiency, and support sustainable growth in smart cities. The Internet of Things are capable of bridging the physical objects by using actuator networks, sensors and then they control these components. It is the most crucial area of research in the field of wireless sensor networks that can be combined with IoT to work in developing Smart Cities. The main focus of writing this paper is on how smart devices can be deployed in various locations to collect the required information, how this collected data is to be analyzed and how it helps the Smart Cities. In this paper, our main objective is to discuss the technologies, concepts, various issues and challenges in developing Smart Cities using these intelligent IoT and WSNs.
