随着物联网（IoT）的出现，由于智能城市和物联网目标之间的相似性，对具有无线传感器网络（WSNs）的智能城市的研究得到了利用。沿着，无线传感器网络的控制研究也面临着新的挑战和机遇，其中数据汇聚和路由技术受到了研究者们的一致关注。然而，人们正在提出新技术来解决无线传感器网络和高效资源利用方面的现代挑战。此外，还需要解决方案将现有部署的WSN与智能城市中不断增加的物联网设备集成在一起，这对双方都有利。在这项工作中，我们提出了一种在无线传感器网络中路由的方法，其中物联网被机会主义地用来减少传感器的通信开销。在我们的方法中，部署在智能城市中的WSN与物联网设备交互，将数据路由到接收器。我们为WSN构建了一个原型集成平台，允许与物联网设备进行交互，并适时利用它们，从而实现节能的数据路由。仿真结果表明，该方向是非常有前途的，我们的方法提供了利用物联网获得独特的优势。
With the emergence of Internet of Things (IoT), the research on Smart Cities with wireless sensor networks (WSNs) got leveraged due to similarities between objectives in both Smart City and IoT. Along with them, research in controlling WSN faces new challenges and opportunities for data aggregation and routing has received consistent focus from researchers. Yet new techniques are being proposed to address modern challenges in WSN and efficient resource utilization. Moreover, solutions are required to integrate existing deployed WSN with ever increasing numbers of IoT devices in Smart Cities, that benefit both. In this work, we present an approach for routing in a WSN, in which IoT is used opportunistically to reduce the communication overhead of the sensors. In our approach, WSN deployed in a Smart City interacts with the IoT devices to route the data to the sink. We build a prototype Integration Platform for the WSN that allows interaction with IoT devices and utilizes them opportunistically that results in an energy efficient routing of data. Simulation results show that the direction is quite promising and our approach offers to utilize IoT to gain unique advantages.
