Abstract With the rapid advance of the Internet of Things (IoT), technology has entered a new era. It is changing the way smart devices relate to such fields as healthcare, smart cities, and transport. However, such rapid expansion also challenges data processing, latency, and QoS. This paper aims to consider fog computing as a key solution for addressing these problems, with a special emphasis on the function of load balancing to improve the quality of service in IoT environments. In addition, we study the relationship between IoT devices and fog computing, highlighting why the latter acts as an intermediate layer that can not only reduce delays but also achieve efficient data processing by moving the computational resources closer to where they are needed. Its essence is to analyze various load balancing algorithms and their impact in fog computing environments on the performance of IoT applications. Static and dynamic load balancing strategies and algorithms have been tested in terms of their impact on throughput, energy efficiency, and overall system reliability. Ultimately, dynamic load balancing methods of this sort are better than static ones for managing load in fog computing scenarios since they are sensitive to changing workloads and changes in the system. The paper also discusses the state of the art of load balancing solutions, such as secure and sustainable techniques for Edge Data Centers (EDCs), It manages the allocation of resources for scheduling. We aim to provide a general overview of important recent developments in the literature while also pointing out limitation where improvements might be made. To this end, we set out to better understand and describe load balancing in fog computing and its importance for improving QoS. We thus hope that a better understanding of load balancing technologies can lead us towards more resilient and secure systems. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.
