Abstract
The swift expansion of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in urban areas has resulted in immense amounts of data that require prompt and efficient processing. Conventional cloud-based methods often encounter issues related to latency, bandwidth limitations, and privacy risks. Fog computing, which is a decentralized computing framework, emerges as an attractive solution by positioning computing resources nearer to the data origin. This paper investigates the use of fog computing for decentralized IoT data processing within smart city networks. We highlight the main advantages of fog computing, such as lower latency, improved bandwidth efficiency, better privacy, and greater reliability. Furthermore, we analyze the possible applications of fog computing across various sectors in smart cities, including traffic management, environmental surveillance, smart grids, and public safety. By utilizing fog computing, smart cities can fully exploit IoT data to enhance efficiency, sustainability, and the overall quality of life for their inhabitants.
