[en] Wearable devices are becoming increasingly popu- lar and are expected to become essential in our everyday life. De- spite continuous improvement of hardware, the lifetime of mobile devices and their capabilities still remain a concern. Small size of batteries of smart watches, glasses, helmets and gloves limits the amount of computing, storage and communication resources. Mobile cloud computing can augment the capabilities of wearable devices by helping to execute some of the computing tasks in the cloud. Such computational offloading helps to preserve battery power at the cost of more intensive communications with the cloud. In this paper, we present a model and comprehensive analysis for computational offloading between wearable devices and clouds in realistic setups.
