Abstract The advancement of smart cities relies heavily on the efficiency and reliability of wireless network connectivity, enabling a wide range of applications and services. However, evaluating the quality of network connectivity for smart city applications is a complex task. It requires the consideration of multiple factors such as security, throughput and reliability, besides the proper analysis in terms of the financial cost to provide the infrastructure for these networks. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a novel metric for assessing the connectivity of wireless networks in smart cities, takes into account those multiple factors (security, throughput, reliability and cost). It aims to provide specific measurements for different types of networks, fostering a comprehensive evaluation of their connections. Furthermore, a global index is introduced to estimate the overall connectivity quality across the entire application, which is linked to the coverage provided by each network. By employing these metrics, valuable guidance can be obtained to evaluate and compare various network connections, supporting decision-making during the design and (re)deployment phases. The effectiveness of these metrics is validated through simulations and case studies, demonstrating their practical applicability and relevance. © 2023 IEEE.
