2.1 Introduction to Edge Computing and Research Challenges
ОглавлениеEdge computing is a new distributed computing paradigm. The pattern of edge computing is closer to the location as a platform for computation and data storage before working with the cloud. In simpler terms, edge computing works with smaller and real-time data, whereas cloud works with big data. Edge computing helps in quick response times and also saves bandwidth [1, 2]. In the use case of cloud-based augmented reality applications, latency and processing limitations are key challenges to implementing the cloud system due to geographical distance from the infrastructure. Edge computing comes into the picture as an advancement of cloud gaming as it allows short-distance travel of data. Edge computing has the advantages of reducing lag times and latency [3]. Mostly edge computing has a role in helping cloud-based IoT systems to provide computational service. A small recap of the Cloud-Based IoT system is provided below.
