Distributed Compute Offloading in Local Communications

Next-generation wireless networks 6G are tasked with accommodating diverse applications beyond traditional communications. This paper delves into the use-case of computation offload, a pivotal use case within the broader framework of beyond communications applications (e.g., sensing, localization, etc.). More specifically, it focuses on the local subnetwork and decentralized distributed compute use-cases, where the control of the computation offload procedure is not within a central entity. This is realized on top of the subnetwork’s architecture. In this work we propose a general architecture and procedural flow that allows for both the realization of local subnetwork and decentralized distributed compute.
