Fog computing is beneficial since it deals with low latency, real-time analytics, improved security and use of wireless access. There is a need to improve the fog services for faster transmission of data , thereby implementation of data reduction techniques will be beneficial for faster transmission of data. In this paper there is a depiction of data compression algorithm called Lempel- Ziv -Welch. With the incorporation of this algorithm data can be compressed and thereby sufficient data can be passed faster in the fog computing network.
