Deployment of IoT applications on 5G edge

The key for the future Internet of Things (IoT) is the shift from a static architecture to a dynamically evolving, self-organizing one. Devices of extremely varying capabilities need to collaborate and access all information necessary to ensure their optimal work, keeping a certain flexibility in the network configuration. The supporting infrastructure should be able to optimize resource consumption and to allow the connected device to interact with the most convenient node in the network, without compromising the perceived Quality of the Service. The work as a whole is an effort to summarize the process to build an offloading framework for arbitrary task of IoT devices. Another main contribution is the collection of requirements for this new IoT networks and computing systems, in particular the need for Edge Computing, Offloading paradigms and an underlying infrastructure which could be supported by means of 5th Generation mobile networks standards, Clustering and the use of Artificial Intelligence. In this paper we do not present an actual, finalized implementation but we propose and analyze a global view of the problem and identify some specific possible technical solutions.
