Abstract

With the rise of advanced internet technologies and smart machines, several emerging internet of things (IoT) applications have been deployed that offer significant benefits to humans. Mobile cloud computing technology can minimise the latency of IoT application execution by providing the necessary computation processing and data caching facility to resource-limited smart devices. To ensure low-latency for heavy-weight IoT application processing is particularly challenging in the mobile cloud computing environment due to the varying IoT-based application requirements, dynamically changing resources of the cloud devices or machines, network resources, mobility, varying input and output data size value of caching, and computing applications, and communication overhead. To make satisfactory application execution decisions, this paper first investigates different challenges, requirements, and latency-sensitive applications of emerging IoT. Next, we present a flexible heuristic-based prioritised resource assignment strategy for IoT application execution in the 5G era. Evaluation results confirm the suitability of the proposed scheme.
