Edge computing has become an essential aspect of modern computing systems. Edge computing involves processing data at the edge of the network, closer to where the data is generated. The ability to process data in real-time at the edge provides various benefits such as lower latency, improved response times, and reduced network congestion. Load balancing is a critical component of edge computing, which distributes the workload across multiple edge devices, ensuring that the workload is evenly distributed. This paper discusses current trends in edge computing load balancing techniques, including static, dynamic, and hybrid load balancing approaches.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
