... more prominent among a wide range of application resulting in a huge data flow, though the congestion in the dataflow are managed using the cloud computing and the alternative sources such as the edge computing , the security of the data that are used are still under research. To manage the huge data flow and have secure data utilization in the internet of things, the paper has put forth the mobile edge computing integrated with the data duplication process taking into consideration the power utilization and the response time. The proposed method is simulated using the Network Simulator-2 and results obtained shows that the duplication process provides an enhancement in the bandwidth utilization along with the cut down in the power consumption and the response time.
