Communication and Energy Efficient Edge Artificial Intelligence Framework for Internet of Things

The remarkable advances in the miniaturization of computing power and rapid development of the Internet of Things (IoT) have led to the proliferation of sophisticated smart devices and sensors, which opened a doorway to new futuristic applications, namely smart homes and cities, eHealth, connected vehicles, virtual/augmented reality, and interactive gaming. These widespread and geographically distributed mobile and IoT devices generate massive amounts of data at the network edge and put massive demands on data processing due to their strict privacy and latency requirements. This necessitates developing and deploying sophisticated AI technologies on resource-constrained edge nodes capable of extracting insights from geographically distributed data.
