Overview of Task Offloading of Wireless Sensor Network in Edge Computing Environment

This review article introduces the concepts, server architecture and application scenarios of Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) and Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). By differentiating between rechargeable and non-rechargeable systems, it presents the research status of task offloading in WSN in an edge computing environment. Various strategies are analyzed and compared in terms of their characteristics and application domains. The existing methods can reduce offloading latency and energy consumption, but still face some issues. Based on this, the research hotspots of edge computing task offloading for WSN are summarized, and its research and development trends are pointed out.
