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.
Ref. REF explored how infrastructure of edge computing can improve latency and energy consumption relative to the Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing 3 cloud by analyzing multiple types of mobile applications.
