However, intermediate classifiers of the early exits introduce additional computation overhead, which is unfavorable for resource-constrained edge artificial intelligence (AI). In this paper, we propose an early exit prediction mechanism to reduce the on-device computation overhead in a device-edge co-inference system supported by early-exit networks. Specifically, we design a low-complexity module, namely the Exit Predictor, to guide some distinctly\"hard\"samples to bypass the computation of the early exits. Besides, considering the varying communication bandwidth, we extend the early exit prediction mechanism for latency-aware edge inference, which adapts the prediction thresholds of the Exit Predictor and the confidence thresholds of the early-exit network via a few simple regression models. Extensive experiment results demonstrate the effectiveness of the Exit Predictor in achieving a better tradeoff between accuracy and on-device computation overhead for early-exit networks. Besides, compared with the baseline methods, the proposed method for latency-aware edge inference attains higher inference accuracy under different bandwidth conditions.","PeriodicalId":185127,"journal":{"name":"J.

More and more next-generation wireless network smart service applications are changing our way of life and improving our quality of life. As the hottest new form of next-generation Internet applications, Metaverse is striving to connect billions of users and create a shared world where virtual and reality merge. However, limited by resources, computing power, and sensory devices, Metaverse is still far from realizing its full vision of immersion, materialization, and interoperability. To this end, this survey aims to realize this vision through the organic integration of 6G-enabled edge AI and Metaverse. Specifically, we first introduce three new types of edge-Metaverse architectures that use 6G-enabled edge AI to solve resource and computing constraints in Metaverse. Then we summarize technical challenges that these architectures face in Metaverse and the existing solutions. Furthermore, we explore how the edge-Metaverse architecture technology helps Metaverse to interact and share digital data. Finally, we discuss future research directions to realize the true vision of Metaverse with 6G-enabled edge AI.","PeriodicalId":185127,"journal":{"name":"J. Commun. Inf.
