Internet of Things (IoT) is improving the overall quality of our lives by helping us to connect, measure and control the different parameters of the system in an automated manner. The IoT devices are generating massive volumes of data that needs to be processed and on the basis of the results, decisions are made. The IoT devices have limited resource capabilities, so these devices utilize the services of the cloud servers. The issue in utilizing the services of the cloud is that it fails to provide support for real-time and time-critical applications. In order to reduce the response time of the system, another service layer is added to the architecture i.e. Edge computing. The IoT devices will now send their requests to the edge servers. Utilizing the services of the edge servers will reduce both the network traffic to the cloud and response time of the system. This paper presents a detailed survey of Edge-based IoT taking various parameters like architecture, bandwidth, security, energy, payload, etc. into consideration.
