Abstract
PurposeIn recent years, it is imperative to establish the structure of manufacturing industry in the context of smart factory. Due to rising demand for exchange of information with various devices, and huge number of sensor nodes, the industrial wireless networks (IWNs) face network congestion and inefficient task scheduling. For this purpose, software-defined network (SDN) is the emerging technology for IWNs, which is integrated into cognitive industrial Internet of things for dynamic task scheduling in the context of industry 4.0.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, the authors present SDN based dynamic resource management and scheduling (DRMS) for effective devising of the resource utilization, scheduling, and hence successful transmission in a congested medium. Moreover, the earliest deadline first (EDF) algorithm is introduced in authors’ proposed work for the following criteria’s to reduce the congestion in the network and to optimize the packet loss.FindingsThe result shows that the proposed work improves the success ratio versus resource usage probability and number of nodes versus successful joint ratio. At last, the proposed method outperforms the existing myopic algorithms in terms of query response time, energy consumption and success ratio (packet delivery) versus number of increasing nodes, respectively.Originality/valueThe authors proposed a priority based scheduling between the devices and it is done by the EDF approach. Therefore, the proposed work reduces the network delay time and minimizes the overall energy efficiency.
