TY - JOUR AU - AB - Industry 4.0 has become the main source of applications of the Internet of Things (IoT), which is generating new business opportunities. The use of cloud computing and artifi - cial intelligence is also showing remarkable improvements in industrial operation, sav- ing millions of dollars to manufacturers. The need for time-critical decision-making is evidencing a trade-off between latency and computation, urging Industrial IoT (IIoT) deployments to integrate fog nodes to perform early analytics. In this chapter, we review next-generation IIoT architectures, which aim to meet the requirements of industrial applications, such as low-latency and highly reliable communications. These architec- tures can be divided into IoT node, fog, and multicloud layers. We describe these three layers and compare their characteristics, providing also different use-cases of IIoT archi- tectures. We introduce network coding (NC) as a solution to meet some of the require- ments of next-generation communications. We review a variety of its approaches as well as different scenarios that improve their performance and reliability thanks to this technique. Then, we describe the communication process across the different levels of the architecture based on NC-based state-of-the-art works. Finally, we summarize the ben- efits and open challenges of combining IIoT architectures together with TI - Network Coding-Based Next-Generation IoT for Industry 4.0 JF - Network Coding DO - 10.5772/intechopen.78338 DA - 2018-08-22 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/network-coding-based-next-generation-iot-for-industry-4-0-0Pin0MZbM0 DP - DeepDyve ER -
