In this paper, we present a survey concerned with research focusing on the convergence of wireless sensor networks (WSN) and mobile cellular networks (MCN). The convergence of WSNs and MCNs may be a trigger stimulating new research dealing with such issues as architecture, protocols and air interfaces. The highlights and constraints of the phenomenon are discussed in this paper as well. The survey deals with convergence networks and with their smarty city applications. A few open research issues are also brought to the attention of researchers specializing in this field

Technological advancements and increased developments leads to increase the development of hand-held devices which encourage the growth of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communication. In this context devices belongs to heterogeneous network require a common platform to meet the challenges of data centric wireless services and applications. To satisfy the needs of M2M communication, Mobile Cellular Network (MCN) and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) converged to a single platform. In this paper two priority models has been proposed with non preemptive priority and preemptive priority to analyze the data traffic at MAC layer of the converged network. The performance matrices are determined to maintain QoS in terms of reduced dropping and blocking probability, waiting time in the queue etc. Finally, the proposed models are compared in terms of QoS factors.
