US Patent 10972579 Adaptive scheduling for edge devices and networks

Adaptive scheduling of compute functions in a fog network is described herein. An example method includes synchronizing kernel and hypervisor scheduling of applications used to control one or more edge devices using a global schedule, wherein the global schedule comprises timeslots for applications, and adapting the timeslots in real-time or near real-time based on application-based time related feedback that is indicative of time delays.
