Minimizing Costs in Fog Nodes Through Effective Resource and Task Scheduling

Abstract

Background: This system comprises the fog control node, access node, and Internet of Things (IoT) application. This study aims to reduce scheduling-related cloud costs. A user scheduling method and an economical task are carried out for this reason. The algorithm for job scheduling is constructed to determine the best strategy to handle several jobs in a fog access node. Reallocation technology ultimately reduces delays in both time and service. For analytical objectives, extensive simulations were run and performance metrics were compared with those of other currently in use methods. It was discovered that the suggested technique lowers task latency and offers extreme cost-effectiveness by improving the concurrent capability in the fog node, users, and task scheduling with improved performance statistics that made it possible. Materials and Methods: The research paper explores fog computing, a three-layered architecture consisting of IoT devices, fog computing, and cloud computing. The fog computing layer sits between cloud networks and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, providing fast access to these devices and handling computation locally at the network edge. Results: The research paper focuses on reducing cloud costs in scheduling. Although the proposed system showed many similarities in execution times compared to the diverse early completion-time method, it consistently lags behind the heterogeneous method by 5 to 10%. Conclusion: This research aims to reduce the cloud scheduling costs for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. A user-based scheduling algorithm and economical task allocation are implemented. A constraint-based and user-defined strategy is recommended.
