Exploring Edge Computing Offloading Techniques for Wearable Computers: A Comprehensive Review

Abstract

Wearable computers have become ubiquitous in our daily lives, seamlessly integrating technology into our attire. Concurrently, the paradigm of edge computing has emerged as a pivotal framework, enabling computational tasks to be performed closer to the data source. The amalgamation of these two realms has given rise to the burgeoning field of edge computing offloading techniques tailored for wearable computers. Understanding the contextual backdrop of wearable computing and the significance of edge computing offloading techniques is imperative for navigating the evolving landscape of mobile and pervasive computing. The relentless miniaturization of computing devices, coupled with the growing demand for real-time data processing, has catalyzed the need for efficient offloading strategies. This article delves into the intricacies of offloading techniques specifically designed for wearable computers, exploring their advantages and limitations. By surveying existing literature, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the historical development and current state of edge computing offloading in the context of wearable technology.
