Resource Allocation in IoT-A Review

IoT is the latest as well as current stage of computing. Nowadays it is the most fascinating area to research due to its fast evolution and also due to increasing number of interconnecting devices. These devices are equipped with various capabilities such as actuator, sensors, electronic software. It has evolved the communication from Human-to-Human (H2H) to Machine-to-Machine (M2M). With such a massive extension, it found numerous applications in multiple fields and faces certain challenges as well. Resource allocation is one of the major challenges. In IoT each and every device in the network has its own priorities, demand, so to make the whole IoT ecosystem work efficiently resource allocation is mandatory. This paper reviews about what resource allocation is and various allocation mechanisms from the perspective of different researchers.
