Study Notes
Fog Computing Overview
- Combines both edge and core network components such as switches, routers, and regional servers.
- Enhances service delivery latency for real-time IoT applications by processing data closer to devices.
Edge vs. Fog Computing
- Fog computing differs by providing cloud-based services (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS) at the network edge.
- Regarded as a more structured paradigm for IoT systems than edge computing.
Physical and Virtualization Layer
- Comprises smart things and physical/virtual sensor nodes within wireless sensor networks.
- Geographically distributed sensors collect data from the environment and send it to the monitoring layer via gateways.
Monitoring Layer Functions
- Monitors availability status of sensors, fog, and network nodes.
- Tracks resource utilization, task performance, time requirements, and energy consumption of each node.
- Assesses the status of IoT services deployed on the infrastructure.
Preprocessing and Temporary Storage Layers
- Preprocessing layer analyzes, filters, and trims data to extract useful information.
- Temporary storage layer retains data before forwarding to the IoT Cloud, clearing it after successful transmission.
Security Layer
- Implements encryption, decryption, and integrity safeguards to protect data from tampering.
Transport Layer
- Responsible for uploading preprocessed data to the IoT Cloud for Big Data analysis.
- Only selected portions of collected data are sent from sensing nodes to the IoT Cloud via gateways.
Fog Computing Models
- Private Fog: Owned and managed by a private organization for exclusive internal use.
- Public Fog: Operated by government entities or academic institutions for public access.
- Community Fog: Managed by community organizations for specific groups with shared interests.
- Hybrid Fog: Merges private, public, or community fog with public/private cloud resources to enhance scalability.
Virtualized Resources in Fog Computing
- Fog IaaS: Offers hardware resources without exposing physical details; utilities can be deployed on virtual resources.
- Fog PaaS: Provides operating software and development environments, facilitating cost-effective software development and deployment.
- Fog SaaS: Delivers software applications remotely via web browsers, eliminating the need for local installations.
