    Edge computing has gained attention in recent years due to the adoption of many Internet of Things (IoT) applications in domestic, industrial and wild settings. The resiliency and reliability requirements of these applications vary from noncritical (best delivery efforts) to safety-critical with time-bounded guarantees. The network connectivity of IoT edge devices remains the central critical component that needs to meet the timebounded Quality of Service (QoS) and fault-tolerance guarantees of the applications. Therefore, in this work, we systematically investigate how to meet IoT applications mixed-criticality QoS requirements in multi-communication networks. We (i) present the network resiliency requirements of IoT applications by defining a system model (ii) analyse and evaluate the bandwidth, latency, throughput, maximum packet size of many state-of-theart LPWAN technologies, such as Sigfox, LoRa, and LTE (CATM1/ NB-IoT) and Wi-Fi, (iii) implement and evaluate an adaptive system Resilient Edge and Criticality-Aware Best Fit (CABF) resource allocation algorithm to meet the application resiliency requirements using Raspberry Pi 4 and Pycom FiPy development board having five multi-communication networks.We present our findings on how to achieve 100% of the best-effort high criticality level message delivery using multi-communication networks

    Bio-Inspired Load Balancing In Large-Scale WSNs Using Pheromone Signalling

    Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) consist of multiple, distributed nodes each with limited resources. With their strict resource constraints and application-specific characteristics, WSNs contain many challenging tradeoffs. This paper proposes a bioinspired load balancing approach, based on pheromone signalling mechanisms, to solve the tradeoff between service availability and energy consumption. We explore the performance consequences of the pheromone-based load balancing approach using (1) a system-level simulator, (2) deployment of real sensor testbeds to provide a competitive analysis of these evaluation methodologies. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is evaluated with different scenario parameters and the required performance evaluation techniques are investigated on case studies based on sound sensors
