The effect of edge computing on Iot (5G Perspective)

Abstract

Edge computing is an emerging technology that has been enabled to evolve more with 5G networks by bringing closer cloud capabilities to the end-user. This thesis aims to: explore the concepts of edge computing and its implementation using 5G, define why the edge computing is needed in IoT technology, present the different impacts of edge computing on the Internet of Things (IoT) through the perspective of 5G. By establishing a taxonomy of edge computing, the existing literature is classified and various essential features are brought out of the edge computing paradigm. By doing so, the requirements which help to succeed the deploying of edge computing in IoT are identified; Further more, the latest 5G advancements in edge computing technology are highlighted, thereby revealing the most standout applications of different edge computing concepts and their impact on IoT. Finishing off this thesis by discussing the emerging issues that still under research despite of the acceptance of this technology. To accomplish the study, I relied on the reliable internet websites, e-books, and researches.
