MANE is a distributed inference framework that uses a multi‑path tail architecture to allow dynamic accuracy–throughput trade‑offs during edge onloading of deep neural networks. It introduces a novel multi‑path model, a three‑stage training scheme with Joint Head Network Distillation loss, and a hysteresis‑based scheduler with an equitable device‑fallback policy. The system achieves over 80% SLO satisfaction and 6pp higher accuracy than on‑device alternatives while supporting up to 40 concurrent devices.

The paper presents a novel multi‑exit computational scheme for TinyML on an ultra‑low‑power GAP9 SoC, adding confidence‑based gating points to a MobileNetV2 CNN for ImageNet‑100. By allowing inference to stop early, the approach cuts average MAC operations by 41 % (from 313 MMAC to 185 MMAC), reduces inference time by 29 % (49 ms to 35 ms), and saves 24 % in energy (2.1 mJ to 1.6 mJ per frame) with only a ~1 % drop in accuracy. Compared to a state‑of‑the‑art adaptive CNN on the same hardware, the method more than doubles computational efficiency, raising MAC/cycle from 8.1 to 17.2.

The paper introduces GQ-FSL, a green quantized federated split learning framework designed for wireless edge networks. It uses stochastic quantization for both local training and wireless transmissions, allowing asymmetric precision between client and server submodels to balance device energy limits with global convergence. The authors develop energy models and a convergence bound for heterogeneous data, then formulate an optimization problem to set the DNN split point and precision levels, achieving lower energy consumption while meeting latency and accuracy targets.

Edge inference is a promising paradigm to provide large language model (LLM) inference services in next-generation mobile networks. LLM inference mainly relies on two approaches: Autoregressive decoding (AD) generates output tokens sequentially, resulting in long latency; Speculative decoding (SD) accelerates inference by using a small language model (SLM) to generate multiple draft tokens for LLM verification, but incurs extra memory costs.
