Abstract

Fog computing acts as a vital link between cloud and edge devices, providing low-latency, high-bandwidth, and context-aware services. As the demand for real-time processing increases in IoT, 5G, and AI-enhanced applications, it responds to the drawbacks of centralized cloud models. This document presents a comparative analysis of current fog architectures, emphasizing their benefits, obstacles, and performance across different scenarios. Key factors such as resource allocation, energy efficiency, and scalability are analyzed to comprehend fog computing’s significance in upcoming distributed systems. Furthermore, the research investigates hybrid fog- edge strategies to optimize resource use and ensure dependable service delivery. Through case studies and performance evaluations, emerging trends like AI- driven orchestration, multi-tiered fog networks, and next-generation wireless integration are recognized. The conclusions enhance the development of fog computing frameworks, providing meaningful insights for researchers and industry experts. This study supports the creation of efficient, scalable, and latency-sensitive applications, contributing to the future of interconnected systems.
