Abstract

When it comes to understanding the process of integrating technology into our daily lives, we need to know that processing data in a fast and secure way is one of the key factors to build up a smart city. Objectives of the study: to put into perspective how edge computing works and how it can be used in a smart city, reviewing information from publications that discuss how Internet of Things (IoT) can make the digitalization process easier. The paper is important because it summarizes how IoT can be the base of a smart city, putting the emphasis on how important is the process of transmitting and receiving data in a fast and secure way. Priorwork: there are a numerous choices of articles that talk about how edge computing can be considered the center of the networking system in a smart city, proving that information theory in the context of passing data is crucial for the future society. Approach: systematic review of literature. Multiple scientific papers will be reviewed to get a proper understanding of the topic, focusing on answering a set of questions defined at the beginning of the study. Implications and value: this review can be a starting point for future research because the questions answered offer a different, more cohesive approach to the influence of the information theory domain on our society. It can also be viewed as a good introduction for engineers and developers on how data transmission is crucial to digitalization of a physical environment.
