MR-Edge: a MapReduce-based protocol for IoT Edge computing

Abstract

As the Internet of Things ( grows exponentially, so do the volumes of data it produces Cloud computing is a popular choice to process enormous amounts of IoT data because of its rich power and resources However, this approach increases transmission cost and delay Edge computing is proposed to remedy the Cloud only processing architecture for IoT Our design (MR Edge) achieves IoT Edge computing by combining the powerful MapReduce programming model with the novel Information Centric Networking ( It includes two procedures (task deployment and task maintenance) for the execution of IoT tasks Experimental results show MR Edge could significantly decrease network traffic compared with the centralized processing method.
