Mathematics from the Russian University of Friendship of Peoples (RUDN) developed an innovative concept for the Internet, offering the use of drones for data processing, which will abandon the traditional cloud data centers.
The essence of the Internet of things is to create a network that combines both user personal devices and ordinary household and professional devices. To date, the main problem is the search for the optimal combination of functionality and energy efficiency. To solve such a problem, scientists from RUDN offered a new network architecture based on the principle of foggy calculations.
FLAGE calculations are an intermediate level between remote cloud centers and ultimate users, where data is stored and processed. Scientists from RUDN have proposed an innovative approach using drones for foggy calculations. Drones move to places where data processing requires, which reduces the response time, as well as increase the reliability and performance of the network infrastructure.
System Model
Compared to the traditional network of the Internet of things, the use of drones for foggy calculations demonstrates a noticeable reduction in the average delay time, especially with a large number of nodes on the network. For example, in a network with 500 knots, the delay decreases by almost 2 times, which emphasizes the effectiveness of the proposed approach. With a network of 100 nodes, the difference is slightly, but still indicates the advantages of using drones for foggy calculations.
Ammar Mutkhanna, Doctor of Technical Sciences and Director of the Center for Modeling Networks of a new generation of RUDNN, emphasizes that the flying foggy calculations are a promising solution that contributes to a significant improvement in the network parameters by reducing delays and increasing data speed. It is expected that the drones will actively move around the city, performing data processing tasks, while all the necessary measures will be taken to ensure the safety of such a technology.
