Abstract

As the Internet of Things (IoT) further develops and expands to the Internet of Everything (IoE), high-speed multimedia streaming data processing, analysis, and shorter response times are increasingly becoming the demands of today. Driven by the Internet of Things (IoT), a new computing paradigm, Edge computing, is currently developing rapidly. Compared with traditional centralized general- purpose computing, Edge computing is a distributed architecture. The operations of applications, data and services are moved from the central node of the network to the edge nodes on the network logic for processing. Under this structure, the analysis of data and the generation of knowledge are closer to the source of the data, so it is more suitable for processing. However, with the rapid development of 5G, IoT and other services and scenarios, there are more and more intelligent terminal devices. Multimedia streaming processing in IoT becomes a very prominent problem. To overcome this problem, the adoption of intelligent Edge or Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered Edge computing (Edge-AI) can achieve the goals of lower cost, higher security, lower latency, and ease of management.
