The Internet of Things (IoT) has induced many advances in the modern world, thus always arousing great interest from the scientific community. Due to a large number of connected devices, this paradigm has put into circulation an enormous data quantity to be processed and offloaded while respecting latency and energy constraints that Central Cloud alone cannot meet. Hence, Fog Computing has come to fill these gaps by providing computing, management, and storage resources via small‐distributed data centres located at the network edge. The majority of previous research on centralised clustering in an IoT environment did not consider both residual energy and the location of the IoT devices, as well as the signalling communication frequency, to solve an issue of extreme energy consumption during data exchange between IoT devices and Fog entities. Thus, the objective of this study is to find solutions taking into account these criteria to guarantee the Fog system's energy efficiency while coping with the energy consumption increase related to the handling of massive data volume. Indeed, the proposed study presents a novel approach based on Fog‐IoT architecture to ensure intelligent energy management during communication and offloaded task processing in IoT applications. The simulation results show its effectiveness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
