Abstract

To store, analyse and process the large volume of data generated by IoT traditional cloud computing, is used everywhere. However, the traditional cloud data centres have their limitations to handle high latency issues in time-critical applications of IoT and cloud. Their applications are computer gaming, e-healthcare, telemedicine and robot surgery. The high latency in IoTs and cloud includes high computational, communication latency (service) and network latencies. The vital requirement of IoT is to have minimum network, service and computation latencies for real-time applications. Network latency causes a delay in transmitting a message or communication from one location to another. Services that require data in real-time are almost impossible to access the data via the cloud. Traditional cloud computing approaches are unable to fulfil the quality-of-service (QoS) requirements in IoT devices. Researches related to latency reduction techniques are still in infancy. Some new approaches to minimize the latency for transmitting time-sensitive data in real-time are discussed in this paper for cloud and IoT devices. This research will help the researchers and industries to identify the techniques and technologies to minimize the latencies in IoT and cloud. The paper also discusses the research trends and the technical differences between the various technologies and techniques. With the increasing interest in the literature on latency minimization and its requirements for time-sensitive applications; it is important to systematically review and synthesize the approaches, tools, challenges and techniques to minimize latencies in IoT and cloud. This paper aims at systematically reviewing the state of the art of latency minimization to classify approaches, and techniques. The paper uses a PRISMA technique for a systematic review. The paper further identifies challenges and gaps in this regard for future research. We have identified 23 approaches and 32 technologies associated with latencies in the cloud and IoT. A total of 112 papers on latency reduction have been examined under this study. The existing research gaps and works for latency reduction in IoTs are discussed in detail. There are several challenges and gaps, which requires future research work for improving the latency minimization techniques and technologies. Finally, we present some open issues which will determine the future research direction.
