The Internet of Things (IoT) is a distributed system that connects everything via internet. IoT infrastructure contains multiple resources and gateways. In such a system, the problem of optimizing IoT resource allocation and scheduling (IRAS) is vital, because resource allocation (RA) and scheduling deals with the mapping between recourses and gateways and is also responsible for optimally allocating resources to available gateways. In the IoT environment, a gateway may face hundreds of resources to connect. Therefore, manual resource allocation and scheduling is not possible. In this paper, the whale optimization algorithm (WOA) is used to solve the RA problem in IoT with the aim of optimal RA and reducing the total communication cost between resources and gateways. The proposed algorithm has been compared to the other existing algorithms. Results indicate the proper performance of the proposed algorithm. Based on various benchmarks, the proposed method, in terms of total communication cost, is better than other ones.
