Edge Computing for IoT: Challenges and Solutions

Edge computing is a promising paradigm where resource processing is close to the edge of the Internet. Due to an increasing number of devices forming an interconnected network of devices in the Internet of Things (IoT) leading a huge amounts of data are produced and internet traffic usage has been significantly increased over the years. In this paper, we examine the current edge computing architectures, their challenge associativity availing respective current state-of-the-art solutions. Formerly, we state the enabling features of edge computing in IoT development and some edge computing challenges with respect to their IoT applications. We conclude the paper by summarizing solutions in both IoT and edge computing in the tables, regarding the identified challenges.
