A Framework for Code Offloading in Wearable Computing

Abstract: Wearable Computing provides a latest form of communication between computer and human such as Google glass, iWatch, SmartWatch which can be worn and always be accessible. Wearable devices come with limited computational capability, battery capacity, and storage. There is a need to increase the same and is done using three tier architecture having wearable computing devices, mobile devices and a remote server by using the code offloading technique. Here computational tasks are offloaded from wearable computing devices to local mobile devices or remote server according to the space and computational capability requirement of the application. A strategy to increase the number of tasks which have to be computed on wearable devices with decreased delay is proposed. A demonstration model is developed to show the offloading process. The values are observed to show the delay if code is not offloaded and they are compared to show the improved efficiency of the model.
