An Energy-Efficient Data Routing in Weight-Balanced Tree-Based Fog Network

Abstract

Investigation for the scope for implementation of green computing in fog network is an important focus among researchers. For this reason, a weight-balanced tree-based architecture in fog network is presented in this research. It is observed that the proposed design is having an advantage for the possession of a fixed (or, almost fixed) length routing table, which further ensures the simplicity of design and fast execution. A detailed analysis discovers the inherent energy efficiency of proposed architecture towards data routing, which further explores the potential of proposed architecture towards the implementation of green computing in fog network.
