Deep Learning-Powered Edge Analytics for IoT-based Sensor Networks

The rapid expansion of loT-based sensor networks has necessitated the development of efficient edge analytics frameworks to process vast amounts of data in real time while minimizing computational overhead. Deep learning-powered edge computing has emerged as a transformative approach, enhancing data processing capabilities at the network edge while addressing constraints related to latency, bandwidth, and energy consumption. This study introduces a novel algorithm, Lightweight AI Model Compression for Energy-Efficient IoT Edge Devices (LiteEdgeAI), designed to optimize deep learning models for resource-constrained edge environments. The proposed method employs quantization, pruning, and knowledge distillation techniques to achieve significant reductions in model size and computational complexity while maintaining high inference accuracy. To validate the efficiency of LiteEdgeAI, a comparative simulation analysis was conducted against existing state-of-the-art algorithms using key performance metrics such prediction accuracy, energy efficiency and computational complexity. Experimental results demonstrated that LiteEdgeAI outperformed baseline models. The findings highlight the potential of LiteEdgeAI in enabling scalable, low-power, and real-time edge intelligence for IoT-based sensor networks.
