QoS-Aware Scheduling of Services-Oriented Internet of Things

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) contains a large number of different devices and heterogeneous networks, which make it difficult to satisfy different quality of service (QoS) requirements and achieve rapid services composition and deployment. In addition, some services in service-oriented IoT are required to be reconfigurable and composable for QoS-aware services. This paper proposed a three-layer QoS scheduling model for service-oriented IoT. At application layer, the QoS schedule scheme explores optimal QoS-aware services composition by using the knowledge of each component service. At network layer, the model aims at dealing with scheduling of heterogeneous networks environment; at sensing layer, it deals with the information acquisition and resource allocation scheduling for different services. The proposed QoS-aware scheduling for service-oriented IoT architecture is able to optimize the scheduling performance of IoT network and minimize the resource costs.
