Real-Time Scheduling in IoT Applications: A Systematic Review

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a telecommunication network in the next generation of applications with the rapid progress of wireless sensor network techniques that have touched many spheres of life today. Hardware, telephony, communications, storage, secure platforms, software and services, and data processing platforms are all part of the IoT environment. IoT sensors collect data from their environment and share it by connecting to the Internet gateway. These sensors often perform tasks without human intervention. This article aims to review real-time scheduling in the IoT to fully understand the issues raised in this area published from 2018 to 2022. A classification for IoT applications based on practical application is provided for selected studies. Selected studies include healthcare, infrastructure, industrial applications, smart city, commercial applications, environmental protection, and general IoT applications. Studies are sorted into groups based on related applications and compared based on indicators such as performance time, energy consumption, makespan, and assessment environments depending on the provided classification. Finally, this paper discusses all reviewed studies’ main concepts, disadvantages, advantages, and future work.

Enhancing energy‐efficient sleep scheduling for Narrowband Internet of Things devices in coordinated 5G networks within smart environments

“…Real‐time feedback mechanisms, as described in AbolhassaniKhajeh et al, 9 continuously evaluate the performance of sleep scheduling policies. Devices can adapt their sleep patterns based on timely feedback, optimizing energy usage.…”

Toward QoS Monitoring in IoT Edge Devices Driven Healthcare—A Systematic Literature Review

“…Another approach is to implement a distributed architecture, which would allow for decentralized communication between various services, lessen dependency on a central hub, and boost robustness and scalability. The use of reliable and secure communication protocols, such as MQTT, CoAP, etc., could be an additional solution [79]. Regarding high throughput, low power consumption, and short latency, these protocols are designed to maximize service quality.…”
