Abstract

In this paper, a reliable algorithm is proposed, which aims at providing the desired reliability, avoiding the data loss due to probable failures, and guaranteeing the energy consumption balancing among all fog nodes (FNs) in the fog-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) networks. To this end, first, a new optimization model is defined to find the best transmission power and the best transmission rate of each terminal node (TN) based on the channel conditions and the desired reliability of the network. Then, the best FN is assigned to each TN according to the topology potential between FNs and TNs, such that there exists an energy consumption balancing among all FNs. Simulation results reveal that the proposed algorithm improves the network performance in terms of reliability and loss ratio, while maintaining the energy consumption balancing among all FNs.
