Mahmoud Largescale IoT applications with thousands of geo distributed IoT gadgets making huge volumes of data impose immense challenges to designing transmission mechanisms that offer data transfer has less latency and great scalability. In this work, an investigation of a hierarchical Edge-Cloud publishes or subscribe brokers method was performed with the help of an effective two-tier routing structure for alleviating such problems whenever sending event notices in large scale IoT mechanisms. In this technique, IoT gadgets use the benefits of nearby edge brokers deliberately positioned in edge network for data supplying services for minimizing latency. This manuscript introduces a Novel Metaheuristic Optimization based Clustering with Routing Scheme for IoT Mobile Edge Computing Platform, named MOCRS-IoTMEC model. The projected MOCRS-IoTMEC model is mainly concentrated on the identification of optimal routes in the IoT assisted MEC environment by the use of pigeon inspired optimization (PIO) algorithm. Also, the LEACH protocol is applied to initially cluster the IoT devices. The PIO algorithm is applied to determine the fitness function to choose optimal routes. To depict the enhanced performance of the MOCRS-IoTMEC model, a detailed comparison study is made. The experimental outcomes reported the enhanced execution of the MOCRS-IoTMEC method over other approaches. 2022 2022 61 71 10.54216/IJWAC.040202 https://www.americaspg.com/articleinfo/20/show/1235
