For numerous reasons (e.g., applications demanding low latencies and data privacy), data-based computation has been brought closer to the originating source, forging the edge computing paradigm. Together with machine learning, edge computing has become a powerful local decision-making tool, fostering the advent of edge learning. However, the latter has become delay-sensitive and resource-Thirsty in terms of hardware and networking. New methods have been developed to solve or minimize these issues, as proposed in this study. We first investigated representative communication methods for edge learning and inference (ELI), focusing on data compression, latency, and resource management. Next, we proposed an ELI-based video data prioritization framework that only considers data with events and hence significantly reduces the transmission and storage resources when implemented in surveillance networks. Furthermore, we critically examined various communication aspects related to edge learning by analyzing their issues and highlighting their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, we discuss the challenges and present issues that remain.7enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessjournal article10.1109/MNET.125.2100771SoftwareInformation SystemsHardware and ArchitectureComputer Networks and Communicationshttp://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=85146256806&partnerID=8YFLogxK
