Abstract

Search and rescue counts as a prominent sector, and its importance is magnified by the recent increase in natural calamities caused due to global warming. Though a lot of new technologies have been integrated into the present search and rescue architecture, there are still many obstacles. These reduce the efficiency of this integration. Edge computing is embodied as a subdivision of artificial intelligence. It endeavors to decentralize existing computing from a central server and bring it closer to the edge. Search and rescue is a unique field and has few special operation constraints and difficulties. They arise due to the conditions under which the operations are carried out. Edge computing is an ideal fit for the search and rescue scenario. Many of edge computing’s key advantages align well with the requirements of the search and rescue venture. This article reviews the scope of implementing edge computing into a search and rescue procedure. It also elaborates on the various problems that can be resolved using edge computing while illustrating the present literature available on the topic. The article discerns open research issues in this field. Doing so proposes a future direction for investigation in the application of edge data processing in search and rescue.

边缘计算在搜救行动中的作用范围研究

搜救是一个突出的部门，其重要性因全球变暖导致自然灾害的增加而更加突出。尽管目前的搜救架构中已集成了许多新技术，但仍存在许多障碍。这些障碍降低了整合的效率。边缘计算是人工智能的一个分支。它致力于将现有计算从中央服务器分散出来，使其更接近边缘。搜救是一个独特的领域，有一些特殊的操作限制和困难。这些限制和困难是由于执行操作的条件而产生的。边缘计算非常适合搜救场景。边缘计算的许多关键优势都非常符合搜索和救援企业的要求。本文回顾了在搜救程序中实施边缘计算的范围。文章还阐述了利用边缘计算可以解决的各种问题，同时说明了有关该主题的现有文献。文章对这一领域的公开研究课题进行了分析。因此，文章提出了边缘数据处理在搜救中应用的未来研究方向。

期刊介绍： The Journal on Mobile Communication and Computing ... Publishes tutorial, survey, and original research papers addressing mobile communications and computing; Investigates theoretical, engineering, and experimental aspects of radio communications, voice, data, images, and multimedia; Explores propagation, system models, speech and image coding, multiple access techniques, protocols, performance evaluation, radio local area networks, and networking and architectures, etc.; 98% of authors who answered a survey reported that they would definitely publish or probably publish in the journal again. Wireless Personal Communications is an archival, peer reviewed, scientific and technical journal addressing mobile communications and computing. It investigates theoretical, engineering, and experimental aspects of radio communications, voice, data, images, and multimedia. A partial list of topics included in the journal is: propagation, system models, speech and image coding, multiple access techniques, protocols performance evaluation, radio local area networks, and networking and architectures. In addition to the above mentioned areas, the journal also accepts papers that deal with interdisciplinary aspects of wireless communications along with: big data and analytics, business and economy, society, and the environment. The journal features five principal types of papers: full technical papers, short papers, technical aspects of policy and standardization, letters offering new research thoughts and experimental ideas, and invited papers on important and emerging topics authored by renowned experts.
