4. Impact of cloud and edge architectures on M2M
As we can expect from the above case, some distributed M2M functions are performed in the network. Generally speaking, this abstraction of the network is called the cloud. However, for performance reasons or to reduce network congestion, a new notion, called "edge" or "Mobile Edge Computing (MEC)", which corresponds to the edge of the network, has been introduced.
4.1 Example of M2M scenarios with cloud architecture
The cloud model is the most common. Machines are distributed, collect data, then this data is consolidated in the cloud to be analyzed, transformed and presented to various applications. The cloud can be private: for example, a utility company may have a number of electricity meters and collect data in its private cloud, consisting of one or more...
