SDN-Based and Energy Aware Offloading

The chapter begins by analyzing the energy consumption of devices, illuminating the causes of power drain, and emphasizing the need for optimized solutions. It then examines task execution, contrasting local execution’s benefits with offloading’s, and provides information on when and why offloading may be the better option. The chapter also explores the core of offloading optimization and offers methods to improve energy efficiency. It makes a distinction between offloading for a single device on battery power and offloading for many devices on battery, and it provides specific advice for each situation. By the end of this chapter, readers will have a thorough awareness of the difficulties involved in planning and putting into practice offloading methods. They will also have the practical knowledge necessary to make wise decisions.
