<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> As the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology has gained popularity over the years, it has been introduced for air quality monitoring. This study demonstrates the feasibility of customized UAV with mobile monitoring devices as an effective, flexible, and alternative means to collect three-dimensional air pollutant concentration data. This also shows the vertical distribution of PM concentration and the relationship between the PM<sub>2.5</sub> vertical distribution and the meteorological parameters within 500<span class="thinspace"></span>m altitude on a single flight in UP Diliman, Quezon City. Measurement and mapping of the vertical distribution of particulate matter (PM)<sub>2.5</sub> concentration is demonstrated in this research using integrated air quality sensors and customized Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. The flight covers an area with a radius of 80 meters, following a cylindrical path with 40-meter interval vertically. The PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentration values are analyzed relative to the meteorological parameters including air speed, pressure, temperature, and relative humidity up to a 500<span class="thinspace"></span>meter-flying height in a single flight in Barangay UP Campus, UP Diliman, Quezon City. The study shows that generally, the PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentration decreases as the height increases with an exception in the 200&amp;ndash;280<span class="thinspace"></span>m above ground height interval due to a sudden change of atmospheric conditions at the time of the flight. Using correlation and regression analysis, the statistics shows that PM<sub>2.5</sub> concentration has a positive relationship with temperature and a negative relationship with relative humidity and wind speed. As relative humidity and wind speed increases, PM<sub>2.5</sub> decreases, while as temperature increases, PM<sub>2.5</sub> also increases.</p>

Smart City Internet of Things will become a fundamental infrastructure to support massive machine-type communications between the widely deployed sensors serving big cities. Since there exists many location constraints for the existing terrestrial Internet of Things, the non-terrestrial Internet of Things sheds light on breaking these limits. Therefore, this article conducts a comprehensive survey on non-terrestrial Internet of Things technologies for Smart City, which is an important complement to terrestrial Internet of Things. We first present the application scenarios of Internet of Things and point out where the existing terrestrial Internet of Things cannot work perfectly. Two non-terrestrial Internet of Things technical proposals are then introduced, namely satellite Internet of Things and unmanned aerial vehicle Internet of Things. However, the focuses of these non-terrestrial Internet of Things are distinct, that is, the major problems of satellite and unmanned aerial vehicle Internet of Things are the high dynamic nature of channel and high maneuverability of unmanned aerial vehicles, respectively. The key technologies for satellite and unmanned aerial vehicle Internet of Things are then reviewed separately. Both physical and non-physical layer technologies are surveyed for satellite Internet of Things, and the route planning is mainly investigated for the unmanned aerial vehicle Internet of Things. Finally, we draw a conclusion and give some potential research directions of non-terrestrial Internet of Things.
