Urban Automation Networks (UANs) are being deployed worldwide in order to enable Smart City applications. Given the crucial role of UANs, as well as their diversity, it is critically important to assess their properties and trade-offs. This article introduces the requirements and challenges for UANs, characterizes the main current and emerging UAN paradigms, provides guidelines for their design and/or choice, and comparatively examines their performance in terms of a variety of parameters including coverage, power consumption, latency, standardization status and economic cost.
城市自动化网络(UANs)正在全球范围内部署,以实现智慧城市应用。鉴于UANs的关键作用及其多样性,评估其特性和权衡至关重要。本文介绍了UANs的要求和挑战,描述了当前主要的和新兴的UAN范式,为其设计和/或选择提供了指导方针,并从包括覆盖范围、功耗、延迟、标准化状态和经济成本在内的各种参数方面对它们的性能进行了比较研究。
