Abstract

Computational offloading services at the edge of the Internet for mobile devices are becoming a reality. Using a wide range of mobile applications, we explore how such infrastructure improves latency and energy consumption relative to the cloud. We present experimental results from WiFi and 4G LTE networks that confirm substantial wins from edge computing for highly interactive mobile applications.

  • Many new types of applications, such as cooperative autonomous driving, have strict or tight delay requirements that the cloud would have difficulty meeting since it may be far away from the users.

    “many new types of applications, e.g., cooperative autonomous driving, have strict or tight delay requirements that the cloud would have difficulty meeting since it may be far away from the users [4].”

    From Convergence of Edge Computing and Deep Learning: A Comprehensive Survey (2020) · cites this paper as [4]

    The Introduction describes future compute- and latency-sensitive applications, and §3.1 reports that response times worsen as offload sites become more distant. The paper gives cognitive assistance and mobile augmented reality as examples, but our copy does not identify cooperative autonomous driving or establish its delay requirements. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
