Survey of MCC Architectures for Computing Service

초록

Following the growth of mobile device applications in the past years, mobile computing and cloud computing are suggesting a new computing paradigm. Demands for computing capability regarding potential technologies that are provided as mobile service are also growing. Meanwhile, necessity of Mobile cloud computing (MCC) is increasing due to the problems of mobile devices, such as resource poverty, battery constraint. However, clear definition is required as the concept of MCC is still ambiguous. Currently, it is necessary to classify the configuration methods of the resource-providing infrastructure environment of MCC. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of MCC and proposes a basic scheme. We suggest instance MCC (iMCC), which is a framework implementing offloading for the purpose of achieving efficient computing process and service provision. iMCC includes improved resource allocation method in MCC infrastructure as well as efficient offloading method. Finally, we summarize the conclusion and discuss future research.
