Precedence & Issues of IoT based on Edge Computing

Abstract

In the network of IoT, a huge amount of data is frequently generated, major messages through complicated networks serving device-to-device communications are swapped and also, sensitive smart world frameworks are controlled and monitored by thousands of gadgets and sensors. To extenuate the acceleration of overcrowding of resources in the network, as an approach edge computing, has risen as a modern approach to resolve requirements of confined computing as well as IoT. In this paper, a brief introduction of Internet of Things and edge computing is discussed which consists of general concepts of IoT and its components, basic introduction of edge computing, and structure of edge computing. After that, fundamental concepts of cloud computing, edge computing and IoT are introduced by comparing their features with each other and a structure of IoT based on edge computing is also illustrated with a slight introduction of the architecture of both the edge computing and IoT. Moreover, the advantages of using the technology of edge computing to assist the technology of IoT are provided as well as the efficiency of integrating these two technologies together is demonstrated. Then, the issues like security and privacy, advanced communication etc. related to combination of IoT and edge computing system are discussed and finally, the conclusion of the paper is presented. So, basically, in this paper, an extensive survey is conducted to analyze how the usage of edge computing progresses the performance of systems of IoT. The performance of edge computing is studied by comparing delay of network, occupation of bandwidth, power utilization, and many other characteristics.
