Edge IoT Networking

Data transmission has witnessed a new wave of emerging technologies such as IoT. This new way of communication could be done through smart communication such as smart sensors and actuators. Thus, data traffic keeps traversing to the main servers in order to accomplish the tasks at the sensors side. However, this way of communication has encountered certain issues related to network due to the nature of routing forth and back from the end users to the main servers. Subsequently, this incurs high delay and packet loss which successively degrades the overall Quality of Service (QoS). On the other hand, the new way of data transmission, which is called "edge IoT network", has not only helped on reducing the load over the network but also made the nodes to be more self-manage at the edge. However, this approach has some limitations due to the power consumption and efficiency, which would lead to node failure and data loss. Therefore, this paper presents a new model of combining network science and computer network in order to enhance the edge IoT efficiency. Simulation results have shown a clear evidence in improving the efficiency, communicability, degree, and overall closeness.
