Abstract: This paper delves into the optimization of edge computing in the context of Internet of Things (IoT) networks. Edge computing provides a solution to the challenges posed by the vast amounts of data generated by IoT devices by processing data closer to the source. This minimizes latency and reduces bandwidth usage, which is critical for time-sensitive IoT applications. The paper identifies key challenges in edge computing for IoT, including resource constraints, security concerns, and network reliability. Furthermore, it discusses several innovative solutions aimed at overcoming these challenges, including efficient resource management, distributed architectures, and advanced security mechanisms. Finally, the paper highlights future directions and research areas for optimizing edge computing in IoT networks.
