 The interface conditions and transmission protocols (device discovery, capability check, data
acquisition, etc.) between the measurement devices and the gateway, and between the gateway
and the cloud should be standardized.
 The application for the visualization service of consumed power should be provided.

 The application download function should be provided in the application distribution system and
the terminal devices.

 Data processing in the cloud should be available in real time by the application.
The terminal devices (RGW and mobile devices) should have a browser function to present data
processing results.

Main steps
1 The customer is able to download the application for the visualization service of consumed
power in the terminal devices.
2 The customer selects the service (visualization service of consumed power) on TV or on a
mobile device screen and logs using their ID and password.
3 At the selection of the service by the customer, the functions for the discovery of
measurement devices and communication to the gateway are activated.

4 The measurement device reports the obtained data to the gateway function periodically or
at the time of customer access.

5 The gateway function transfers the measured data to the cloud by the application, the cloud
processes the data, and the results are conveyed to display terminals (TV or mobile devices)
through the gateway function.

6 The terminals present the processed data on their screens.

4 Planning the national deployment of ICT

infrastructure for SSC

Until today, the planning of a SSC is in the hands of the Government, although the private sector
has been engaged in developing and implementing corresponding frameworks. It should focus on
generating cross‐cutting, inclusive and comprehensive strategies, using ICTs, to optimize the
meeting of the diverse needs of the citizens.

The use of ICT in the planning of a smart sustainable city must be aimed at interrelating the complex
systems that form an urban area (utilities, communications, production, information, infrastructure,
vulnerability, etc.), as well as, proposing smart and inclusive solutions oriented to use efficiently and
sustainably the resources required by the citizens, particularly the non‐renewable ones (Figure 2).

In this sense, the challenge of planning raises the need to:
 design efficient management schemes for electricity consumption,
 monitor and rationalize the use of water,

 create control systems to reduce vehicular air pollution,
 design more interactive communication tools to meet the need of information, avoid physical
movement of people, among other solutions.
