Data Transmission Reduction Model for cloud-based IoT Systems
Aya Elouali, Higinio Mora, Francisco José Mora Gimeno · 2021
Cloud computing is the solution for IoT devices of limited resources and high cost processing requirements. However, the network related issues such as latency and bandwidth consumption need to be considered. In this paper, we propose a generalized model that reduces data transmission and therefore improves the network's properties independently of the system and data types. This model is based on two main ideas: 1) Not sending data until a significant change occurs, 2) Sending a lighter size entity permitting the cloud to calculate the data captured by the IoT device without actually receiving it. This paper includes the mathematical representation of this model, general evaluation metrics formulas as well as some real-world use cases.
