针对稀有事件设计低通信开销的边缘智能框架,提升6G场景下响应速度与效率。

Communication Efficient Cooperative Edge AI via Event-Triggered Computation Offloading

  • 基于双阈值多出口架构,本地先处理简单事件,复杂事件才上传
  • 实测在医疗数据集上降低通信量同时保持高罕见事件识别准确率
  • 动态调整决策阈值以适应信道变化,适合自动驾驶等实时应用

稀有事件虽发生频率低,但在自动驾驶、医疗健康和工业自动化等关键应用中常携带重要信息,需及时响应。现有边缘推理方法因高维数据传输导致通信瓶颈,难以满足实时性要求,限制了其在6G网络中的应用。为此,我们提出一种自适应信道的事件触发式边缘推理框架,核心是双阈值多出口架构,可对本地检测到的简单稀有事件进行早期本地推理,复杂事件则上传至边缘服务器进行详细分类。为进一步提升性能,设计了自适应卸载策略与在线算法,动态确定最优置信度阈值以控制卸载决策,将原非凸优化问题转化为等价强凸问题求解。基于深度神经网络分类器与真实医疗数据集的实验表明,该框架不仅显著提升稀有事件分类精度,还有效降低通信开销,优于现有边缘推理方法。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Rare events, despite their infrequency, often carry critical information and require immediate attentions in mission-critical applications such as autonomous driving, healthcare, and industrial automation. The data-intensive nature of these tasks and their need for prompt responses, combined with designing edge AI (or edge inference), pose significant challenges in systems and techniques. Existing edge inference approaches often suffer from communication bottlenecks due to high-dimensional data transmission and fail to provide timely responses to rare events, limiting their effectiveness for mission-critical applications in the sixth-generation (6G) mobile networks. To overcome these challenges, we propose a channel-adaptive, event-triggered edge-inference framework that prioritizes efficient rare-event processing. Central to this framework is a dual-threshold, multi-exit architecture, which enables early local inference for rare events detected locally while offloading more complex rare events to edge servers for detailed classification. To further enhance the system's performance, we developed a channel-adaptive offloading policy paired with an online algorithm to dynamically determine the optimal confidence thresholds for controlling offloading decisions. The associated optimization problem is solved by reformulating the original non-convex function into an equivalent strongly convex one. Using deep neural network classifiers and real medical datasets, our experiments demonstrate that the proposed framework not only achieves superior rare-event classification accuracy, but also effectively reduces communication overhead, as opposed to existing edge-inference approaches.
