With the continued requirement of internet of things (IoT) development, many researchers focused on developing access and routing algorithms optimization of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) for communications quality guarantee, but less research has focused on the optimization of WSNs based on the mobile cellular networks (MCNs) assist.In this paper, we propose a convergence architecture of WSN and MCN for IoT applications, especially on the smart user equipment (UE) acting as a mobile gateway for WSN data transmission.And then, we investigate system application requirement for IoT.Finally, we discuss the key technical challenges and research points based on an analysis of smart gateway.
