Data Storage and Reliability Analysis on the Internet of Things Based on Pyramid Code

Abstract

As the IoT (Internet of Things) develops, computers and devices generate a lot of data that needs to be processed and stored. Pyramid code, as an update of the Reed-Solomon code, is suitable for correcting data failure on various sides as an erasure code. Not only does Pyramid code reduce the cost of computation, but it can also meet the reliability and security requirements of IoT. The convenience of the Pyramid code is evaluated by comparing the (15, 12) RS code to the (16, 12) Pyramid code in this paper. Then, section 4 investigates how Pyramid code can match the needs of reliability, security, cost-effectiveness, etc. After that, the following section aims to give the applications of Pyramid code in IoT. There are many applications and this section concludes the several outstanding scenarios, such as healthcare, smart city, etc.
