A novel IoT-based health and tactical analysis model with fog computing

Abstract

In sports competitions, depending on the conditions such as excitement, stress, fatigue, etc. during the match, negative situations such as disability or loss of life may occur for players and spectators. Therefore, it is extremely important to constantly check their health. In addition, some strategic analyzes are made during the match. According to the results of these analyzes, the technical team affects the course of the match. Effects can have positive and sometimes negative results. In this article, fog computing and an Internet of Things (IoT) based architecture are proposed to produce new technical strategies and to avoid disabilities. Players and spectators are monitored with sensors such as blood pressure, body temperature, heart rate, location etc. The data obtained from the sensors are processed in the fog layer and the resulting information is sent to the devices of the technical team and club doctors. In the architecture based on fog computing and IoT, priority processes are computed with low latency. For this, a task management algorithm based on priority queue and list of fog nodes is modified in the fog layer. Authentication and data confidentiality are provided with the Federated Lightweight Authentication of Things (FLAT) method used in the proposed model. In addition, using the Software Defined Network controller based on blockchain technology ensures data integrity.

Use of Blockchain Technology in the Domain of Physical Exercise, Physical Activity, Sport, and Active Ageing: A Systematic Review

“…Among these 30 papers, 13 were finally eliminated because they did not meet the inclusion criteria. Four papers were eliminated under the label "Not related to PE, PA, sport, or ageing" [32,[39][40][41], six under the label "Focused on the BC properties, not applications" [32,[42][43][44][45][46], and finally four papers were removed for other reasons (preliminary theoretical proposal, mechanisms for avoidance of fraud in the soccer transfer market, theoretical explanation) [47][48][49][50]. The works rated with an average of 2.5 or 3 points, made it directly to the next phase.…”

Internet of Things in Industry: Research Profiling, Application, Challenges and Opportunities—A Review

“…The Fog typically is located close to the nodes on the local network and offers decentralized architecture in Cloud computing. It serves the Internet of Things through the application of different sensors and actuators generates petabytes (PB) of data streamed to the Cloud service for maintaining and computing [33]. As shown in the above figure, Cloud is a data center or server that can be accessed from anywhere in the world via the internet such as Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, IBM Watson Cloud or ORACLE Cloud.…”

“…This in turn drastically increases latency [35]. Moreover, Cloud computing offers a centralized architecture that results in bandwidth limitations [33,36,37].…”

“…The Fog typically is located close to the nodes on the local network and offers decentralized architecture in Cloud computing. It serves the same purposes as the Cloud, but allows for transferring to it only the data for permanent storage, thus reducing the bandwidth [33].…”

Modeling of a Generic Edge Computing Application Design

“…On the other hand, the distribution of IoT devices in both the spatial and temporal domains are not usually uniform, especially in the moving IoT environments [54]. This circumstance usually leads to unbalanced loads of traffic, which may be alleviated by the implementation of offloading policies among fog nodes [55], or any other feasible resourceful environment, as a cloud node [56]. Furthermore, the issues of provisioning resources for IoT devices and dynamically adapting to the requirements of IoT applications and services may be addressed by implementing an orchestrator [57].…”
