IoT Infrastructure Requirements for Easy Game Application Deployment

Introduction

• Presented by BBAK Technologies
• Focus on continuing the discussion about IoT infrastructure requirements for the easy game application deployment

Hardware Details

Edge Devices

• Android Mobile: Connected to headset via Bluetooth; includes a display to show user's concentration
• Headset (Sensor): Detects intensity of the mind
• Display (Actuator): Shows results to the user
• Each player has a mobile device with two add-ons:
  • Headset (EEG Sensor)
  • Display (LCD Actuator)

Diagram Overview

• Example Configuration: Four devices labeled as mobile 11, mobile 10, mobile 00, and mobile 01
• Each mobile has:
  • EEG Sensor
  • LCD Display
• Connected via Wi-Fi routers acting as fog resources

IoT Architecture

Three-Layer Architecture

1. Edge Layer: Includes individual edge devices and sensors
2. Fog Layer: Intermediate layer for quick computation to reduce response times
   • Includes Wi-Fi routers and a proxy server
3. Cloud Layer: Topmost layer for heavy computation tasks that cannot be handled by fog and edge layers

Functional Distribution

• Fog Resources: Wi-Fi Router 1, Wi-Fi Router 0, Proxy Server
• Cloud: Handles heavier computation tasks
• Objective: Reduce loop delay for quick response

Easy Game Application Structure

• Three Models:
  1. Client: Cleans input data
  2. Concentration Calculator: Computes player's concentration
  3. Coordinator: Collects concentration data from all users and displays it back

Loop Delay

• Total time for a cycle (sensing and displaying concentration)
• Consists of small tasks:
  • EEG Sensor: Senses brain activity
  • Client: Cleans data
  • Concentration Calculator: Computes concentration
  • Client: Displays results on LCD

Simulation Results

• Execution time: Multiple metrics displayed for different models and tasks
• Focus on reducing loop delay to improve player experience
• Energy Consumption: Tracked for each device (e.g., EEG, LCD, WiFi routers, proxy server, cloud)
• Cost Management:
  • Payment required for cloud services
  • Energy costs for owned devices
  • Network usage tracked (important for data transfer to/from cloud)

Final Remarks

• Importance of efficient resource allocation for improved performance
• Call to action for researchers interested in IoT simulations using iHubSim 2

Conclusion

• Thanked researchers and the audience for their attention
