Abstract: In the advanced computing age, the Internet of Things (IoT) has attracted a special attention to facilitate the implementation of high-quality automation systems and improve efficiency. Hence, IoT is currently used in a wide range of applications, in which new technologies and concepts affect the expansion of network coverage. Owing to the development of IoT usages, the number of intelligent devices/objects connected to the network is increasing, which can lead to the transmission of a huge volume of data. Regarding the importance of resource management in distributed systems, this paper studies the bandwidth allocation problem in IoT environments as a challenging issue. For this purpose, related literature works are investigated and analysed and then, the efficient bandwidth allocation methods as well as the Quality of Service (QoS) metrics are expressed. The paper also compares the different proposed schemes in terms of modelling strategy, mechanism, QoS parameters and simulation tools.

Keywords: internet of things; bandwidth allocation; scheduling; resource management; QoS metrics.
