Advancement of IoT System QoS by Integrating Cloud, Fog, Roof, and Dew Computing Assisted by SDN: Basic Framework Architecture and Simulation

In the internet of things (IoT) domain, there has currently been a growing interest, leading to the idea of the IoT ecosystem. But the standards, technology, and structures of the conventional IoT framework do not provide the necessary QoS for today's massive data. Thus, for today's IoT ecosystem, a framework called SD-DRFC (software-defined dew, roof, fog, and cloud computing) is suggested in this article. The framework delivers facilities from the closest possible position of end-user gadgets and thus increases the QoS in an IoT system. Clear description about the role and features of each tier is also presented. The path to a multi-tier computational architecture assisted by SDN can be realized from the given detailed literature review. Using the iFogSim simulator, a use case based on the architecture provided is then given and evaluated. This article considers four QoS parameters (latency, network use, cost, and energy consumption). When compared the findings of the simulation, the proposed framework execution performs much better than cloud-only execution.
