Energy efficient resource migration based load balance mechanism for high traffic applications IoT by Kumar, Sunil, Cengiz, Korhan, Vimal, Suresh, Suresh, A.

“…This leads to a cause of emerging challenge of load balancing of networks for meeting up with highly demanding requirements (e.g., high performance, lower latency, high throughput, and high availability) of IoT and 5G network applications. For meeting up highly increasing demands, various proposal of load balancing techniques comes forward, in which highly dedicated balancers of loads are being required for ever service in some of them, or for every new service, manual recognition of device is required. …”
