物联网（IoT）通过嵌入传感，计算和通信功能的数字设备在智能城市的背景下提供新的服务。物联网设备通过为智慧城市管理采用先进的通信和计算技术来增强智慧城市的愿景。基于物联网的智慧城市应用需要在不同的城市点部署许多物联网设备和网关。异构的传感设备，将智能设备放置在受限或物理无法访问的区域，以及大型城市区域一起进行监控，使得物联网节点部署和传感管理任务变得困难，耗时且昂贵。此外，某些任务可能需要在非常短的时间段内部署智能设备以感测和报告上下文信息，这使得购买设备在经济上不可行。在这方面，我们提出了一个基于无人机的物联网即服务（IoTaaS）框架，该框架可以使用无人机动态配置或部署物联网设备。IoTaaS允许物联网设备和网关安装在无人机上，并通过根据用户指定的要求将物联网设备放置在区域中来提供分布式云服务。我们还为运营此类基于无人机的物联网服务提供了经济分析。针对智能农业和空气污染监测应用的IoTaaS概念验证实施表明，IoTaaS可以降低设置成本并增加物联网设备的使用。
The Internet of Things (IoT) offers new services in the context of smart cities through digital devices embedded with sensing, computation, and communication capabilities. The IoT devices enhance the smart city vision by employing advanced communication and computation technologies for smart city administrations. The IoT-based smart city applications require many IoT devices and gateways to be deployed at different city points. Heterogeneous sensing devices, placing smart devices in a constrained or physically inaccessible area, and large urban areas to monitor together make IoT node deployment and sensing management tasks difficult, time-consuming, and expensive. Additionally, certain tasks may require smart devices to be deployed for a very short period of time to sense and report contextual information, making it economically infeasible to purchase the devices. In this regard, we propose a drone-based IoT as a Service (IoTaaS) framework that enables the dynamic provisioning or deployment of IoT devices using drones. IoTaaS allows IoT devices and gateways to be mounted on drones and provides a distributed cloud service by placing the IoT devices in an area according to the requirements specified by a user. We also provide an economic analysis for operating such drone-based IoT services. A proof-of-concept implementation of IoTaaS for smart agriculture and air pollution monitoring applications shows that IoTaaS can reduce setup costs and increase the usage of IoT devices.
