Abstract :

The proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices in urban areas presents significant challenges for spectrum management due to limited bandwidth and increased interference. This paper explores various theoretical spectrum management strategies specifically designed for IoT applications in dense urban environments. We analyze existing research on these strategies, highlighting their potential to optimize spectrum utilization and improve network performance. Additionally, we discuss Quality of Service (QoS) considerations, interoperability issues among devices, and present case studies of real-world implementations. With the rapid expansion, ensuring efficient spectrum allocation and minimizing interference have become critical for sustainable network operations. This paper addresses these challenges by examining approaches that leverage cognitive radio, hierarchical spectrum management, and adaptive resource allocation. By employing these strategies, IoT networks can dynamically adjust to fluctuating urban demands and optimize data transmission in real time. Our analysis offers insights into the applicability and limitations of these approaches, providing a roadmap for future advancements in urban IoT spectrum management.
