Abstract

In Smart City (SC), things can connect with humans intelligently through the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT and ecological sensors will enable the detection of pollutants, contributing to developing environmentally friendly SC. Green Internet Architecture (GIA) in SC ensures the long-term viability of friendly spaces by enabling autonomous and intelligent sustainability practices through collaboration. Governments and organizations worldwide are promoting the significance of reducing energy usage and carbon emissions while highlighting the relevance of using GIA in SC. Several SC layouts connected to the IoT have previously been proposed in the literature. However, this study introduces the "Green Internet" notion of providing a friendly setting that focuses on conserving energy in SC. This research presents a suggested design for a GIA in SC. The main objective is to minimize energy usage at every level and ensure the implementation of IoT in a friendly manner. The suggested GIA is founded on a cloud-based system that diminishes hardware usage with Blockchain technology.
