📡 IoT-Based Smart City Use Case with 5G – Step-by-Step


Guide
This project will demonstrate how IoT devices (sensors) communicate over a 5G network,
allowing real-time data collection and monitoring in a smart city scenario.

🔹 Project Overview
📌 Objective: Set up an IoT sensor network that communicates via a 5G connection and
visualizes data in real-time.
📌 Use Case: Smart City – Environmental Monitoring (Temperature, Air Quality, Motion
Sensors).

🛠 Required Components & Software


🔹 Hardware:
Raspberry Pi (or Arduino with a 5G module)
5G USB Modem or Router (e.g., SIM7600, Quectel RM500Q)
IoT Sensors (Temperature, Humidity, Air Quality, Motion)
🔹 Software & Tools:
Raspberry Pi OS (Linux-based)
Mosquitto MQTT Broker (for IoT communication)
Node-RED / Grafana (for data visualization)
Python (for sensor data collection)

🚀 Step 1: Set Up 5G Connectivity on Raspberry Pi


1️⃣ Install Necessary Packages
Update your Raspberry Pi:

bash

CopyEdit

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y

Install networking tools:

bash

CopyEdit

sudo apt install -y usb-modeswitch minicom ppp

2️⃣ Connect the 5G Modem


Insert a 5G SIM card into your USB modem.
Plug the modem into your Raspberry Pi USB port.
Run:
bash
CopyEdit
lsusb
This will display the connected devices. Look for your5G modem.

3️⃣ Configure the 5G Connection


Find the modem’s port:

bash

CopyEdit

ls /dev/ttyUSB*

Test connection with:

bash

CopyEdit
minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB2

(If it opens a terminal, type AT and press Enter. If you get OK, the modem is working.)

4️⃣ Establish the Internet Connection


Use a built-in ppp (Point-to-Point Protocol) script or NetworkManager to connect your 5G
modem to the internet.

📡 Step 2: Install & Configure MQTT for IoT Data Exchange


1️⃣ Install the Mosquitto MQTT Broker on Raspberry Pi:
bash

CopyEdit

sudo apt install -y mosquitto mosquitto-clients

2️⃣ Start the MQTT broker:


bash

CopyEdit

sudo systemctl enable mosquitto

sudo systemctl start mosquitto

3️⃣ Test by publishing a message:


bash

CopyEdit

mosquitto_pub -h localhost -t "test/topic" -m "Hello IoT"

4️⃣ Subscribe to check if data is received:


bash

CopyEdit

mosquitto_sub -h localhost -t "test/topic"

(You should see "Hello IoT" appear in real time.)

📊 Step 3: Connect IoT Sensors to the 5G Network


1️⃣ Connect a Temperature Sensor (DHT11/DHT22) to Raspberry Pi
Wiring:
Sensor Pin Raspberry Pi Pin

VCC 3.3V or 5V

CopyEdit

import paho.mqtt.client as mqtt

import Adafruit_DHT

import time

sensor = Adafruit_DHT.DHT11

pin = 4 # GPIO pin where sensor is connected

mqtt_broker = "localhost"

mqtt_topic = "smartcity/temperature"

client = mqtt.Client()

client.connect(mqtt_broker, 1883, 60)


while True:

humidity, temperature = Adafruit_DHT.read_retry(sensor, pin)

if temperature:

msg = f"Temperature: {temperature}°C, Humidity: {humidity}%"

client.publish(mqtt_topic, msg)

print(f"Published: {msg}")

time.sleep(5) # Send data every 5 seconds

4️⃣ Run the Script:


bash

CopyEdit

python3 sensor_publisher.py

💡 Now, the temperature and humidity data is being sent over the 5G network!
📈 Step 4: Visualize Data Using Node-RED or Grafana
1️⃣ Install Node-RED on Raspberry Pi
bash

CopyEdit

📢 Step 5: Test & Scale the IoT Smart City Network
🔹 Add More Sensors – Air quality, motion detection, smart traffic monitoring
🔹 Integrate AI for Predictive Analytics – Use Python ML models to analyze data
🔹 Deploy in a Real 5G Environment – Use a cloud MQTT broker like HiveMQ
