A feasible cost scheme can be obtained by calculating the cost in different simulation groups. Furthermore, we give suggestions on how to deploy edge nodes at a reasonable cost for users effectively.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This paper is motivated by the IoT-Cloud framework; they are divided according to whether the nodes have templates required by users and the distance from users to distinguish various consumption levels and classify the testing result. Based on four different groups satisfying reasonable resource allocation, the cost was studied. The work focuses on the unpredictable movement within the test range. For assignment and scheduling of template tasks at each time slot, the Edge-Cloud scheme is proposed to reduce the cost.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>According to the simulation results in this paper, the total cost of the four groups is lower when the closest node-set satisfies the user service directly. To improve the probability that the closest node-set can meet general requests of users and provide them with faster and more economical network services, increasing the number of edge nodes within the range of user activities is suggested.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>An Edge-Cloud framework is
