Study and Analysis of Offloading in Mobile Cloud Computing

Abstract

The Mobile Devices (Smart Mobile Phones, Tablets PCS) are becoming a computing and service access devices at anytime and anywhere. These devices are constrained by the CPU workload, memory capacity and battery life. MCC is the technology which enhances the power and capabilities of mobile devices by extending the services and resources of computational clouds to smart mobile devices on demand bases. The offloading mechanism gives the provision to enrich the mobile devices with sufficient resources. This paper explains the offloading mechanism in MCC domain. The objective of this paper is to investigate the issues and challenges for the partitioning of the application. Further it highlights few research questions on how offloading can be done efficiently so that performance improvement as well as energy saving can be achieved.
