Abstract-Wearable devices are becoming increasingly popular and are expected to become essential in our everyday life. Despite continuous improvement of hardware, the lifetime of mobile devices and their capabilities still remain a concern. Small size of batteries of smart watches, glasses, helmets and gloves limits the amount of computing, storage and communication resources. Mobile cloud computing can augment the capabilities of wearable devices by helping to execute some of the computing tasks in the cloud. Such computational offloading helps to preserve battery power at the cost of more intensive communications with the cloud. In this paper, we present a model and comprehensive analysis for computational offloading between wearable devices and clouds in realistic setups.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
