Abstract

Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) technology has been rigorously developed in recent years, moving towards the ambitious goal of industry 4.0, Network Automation. However, there are a few critical challenges regarding the implementation of a reliable IIoT ecosystem for different applications; security, battery life, and bandwidth are controversial challenges. All the challenges regarding IIoT are mainly struggling within the edge computing smaller box of the big picture in which a cloud is an upstream object while sensors and actuators act as downstream devices. Therefore, having a reliable IIoT ecosystem necessitates focusing on the whole IIoT's challenges in the edge computing smaller box; first realizing the vital, practical demands of a specific IIoT application, and then defining the compatible protocols to form the effective edge computing configuration. This paper reviews four IIoT case study applications with their specific requirements and their counterpart sensor/actuator properties to find the appropriate edge computing protocols satisfying their demands.
