Abstract
Advancements in the field of communications are moving towards the internet of
things (IoTs). Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN) can be used to monitor
environmental conditions such as pollution using independent sensors communicating
with each other using the IoTs technology thereby leading to a more accurate
environmental monitoring system. Air pollution is a critical environmental challenge
which is a major concern in cities and will have to be reduced if cities are to be
regarded as smart cities. It has negative short and long term effects on human health
that would deter people from moving to cities which would ultimately prevent
economic growth. Therefore, the air pollution around the city and along traffic routes
could be monitored using WSN nodes. In this work, the stationary nodes around the
city would be deployed periodically to collect pollution data from sensors at the node.
These data would be stored locally in its memory with a time and location stamp.
Mobile nodes placed on public buses, buildings and vehicles would wirelessly collect
the data as they pass by the stationary nodes. The data would then be processed once
the nodes arrived back at the pollution monitoring system. In the proposed
architecture, the stationary nodes run on ZigBee standard while the mobile nodes run
on fifth generation (5G) and Long-time evolution (LTE).
