Key Points

To develop and validate a multi-dimensional robustness evaluation framework that combines operational continuity, resource efficiency, flexibility, and security for ultra-dense IoT networks in smart cities.
Conducted simulation analyses across critical, essential, and basic deployment scenarios to evaluate the mathematical behavior and sensitivity of the unified robustness metric.
Implemented a controlled 5G validation platform using free5GC and UERANSIM to normalize and map observable control-plane, user-plane, service-connectivity, and security metrics.
Demonstrated scenario-dependent robustness degradation across simulated smart city Internet of Things operational conditions.
Observed the most severe degradation under combined stress scenarios involving simultaneous high endpoint density, elevated traffic intensity, service recovery delays, and abnormal access conditions.
