Abstract

Long-Term Evolution (LTE) technology is largely used in distributed computing and IoT in providing low latency, reliable and high bandwidth transmission. This paper discusses the LTE adoption in distributed computing environment and the IoT solution space with a special consideration to its performance in the areas of latency, scalability and energy consumption. The study assesses the efficacy of LTE for IoT under a range of network conditions using a mixed method approach of theorization, simulations, and case studies on IoT applications in smart cities, manufacturing, and health. At the same time, it analytically proves that LTE decreases latency times by 40% to the first legacy systems, increases the reliability of data transmission and allows for the construction of horizontally scalable IoT networks. In addition, owing to its adaptive modulation, the energy efficiency in dense IoT environment is improved by 25%. This article provides a detailed description of LTE’s application in improving IoT systems and further recommends the study of coexistence of LTE and 5G to enhance the functionality of the system.
