Abstract
Chapter 16 discusses mobile edge computing for an efficient energy management system. Edge computing environment provides an optimal solution for latency and lifetime of a device. Thus edge computing will be considered as the next step in developing applications in the IoT environment, maintaining the benefits. There are overheads that occur with computation at the edges and each of the edge nodes will directly or indirectly influence the battery life, i.e. energy consumption which is maintained by batteries. Apart from the regular constraints, edge computing needs to focus on privacy and data reduction methods, and is then compared with other computational systems. The chapter further addresses the future challenges to be considered in this particular area which will give rise to future research.
