Mobile Cloud Computing And Evolution In The Mobile Industry

Cloud computing is a one of the most talked of topics in the field of Information Technology in recent times (Keyun, Joe, Taha, & Ibrahim, 2013). This subject area of cloud computing basically is a term used to describe computer resources available as a service accessible over a network (Darren & Kim-Kwang, 2013). The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) define cloud computing as a model for enabling ubiquitous, convenient, on-demand network access on a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g. networks, servers, storage, applications and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction (Peter & Timothy, 2011). Due to the attractive nature of the model there has been rise in the use of cloud computing. Gartner, an IT research and consulting firm, says that cloud computing is growing will become the bulk of IT spend by 2016 (Gartner, 2013).

Within the past 10 years our societies technological advantages have been somewhat space age like, even alien like characteristics. Technologies, which ten years ago only existed in our dreams but yet, have become reality. Things like, the revolutionary iPhone and its almost seamless touch-screen tech; as well as the new advancements in our cultures most prized possession, The Internet. In this subject-based paper, I will take a closer look into a fairly new emerging technology, which is simply referred to as…Cloud Technology. The synopsis will cover, what and how cloud technology works, its

The advancement and affordability of mobile devices has resulted in the exponential prevalence of these devices. Cloud servers

The blend of cloud computing and mobile computing presents mobile cloud computing, which likewise show new issues of security dangers, for example, unapproved access to resources in mobile cloud. Shielding portable distributed computing from illegitimate access turns into an imperative concern to mobile clients.

By adopting the Mobile Cloud computing paradigm some research work has been done to address some of the key features of the cloud databases and mobile databases. There are two important features where data management needs to be taken care of:

Cloud computing is an emerging model where users can gain access to their applications from anywhere through their connected devices. A simplified user interface makes the infrastructure supporting the applications transparent to users. The applications reside in massively-scalable data centers where compute resources can be dynamically provisioned and shared to achieve significant economies of scale. A strong service management platform results in near-zero incremental management costs when more IT resources are added to the cloud. The proliferation of smart mobile devices, high speed wireless connectivity, and rich browser-based Web 2.0 interfaces has made the network-based cloud computing model not only practical but

In this way, mobile computing has brought some major changes to the internet world; some of them include cloud computing, social media services and e-commerce. Cloud computing is a service through which users can compute data, use applications and save their data online on internet. This stored data and applications can be accessed anywhere anytime. For example, if a user saves some data online in cloud from home desktop and then finds a need to access while being on a trip, it can be easily accessed through mobile phone or laptop just by connecting to internet. Similarly, applications can be used while being mobile.

Cloud because of its wide range of applications it allows users to store data their data remotely in the cloud and enjoy the on-demand high quality cloud applications and reveal burden from the local storage, cost and maintenance. In this according to the user’s perspective, including both individuals (private) and enterprises like companies appealing the cloud benefits by storing data remotely into the cloud in a flexible on-demand manner and relief of the burden of storage management along with this he/she can also enjoy the universal data access which dependent geographical locations and avoidance of the capital expenditure, software, hardware and personnel management and maintenances and so on.

Cloud Based resources are four types , they are Distant immobile cloud, proximity immobile computing entities, proximity mobile computing entity , hybrid . according to these four types of resources state of the art CMA approaches divided into four types like distant fixed, proximate fixed, proximate mobile and hybrid. Further these four subdivided into different categories. This paper also explains five decision factors , five performance limitation factors and CMA feasibility that significantly increases the quality and adaptability of future CMA solutions . decision factors used to decide whether to perform CMA or not are needed at design and implementation phases of next generation CMA approaches . They are Mobile devices, Contents, Augmentation Environment, User preferences and requirements, Cloud servers. Performances of varied CMA solutions is impacted by several factors like Heterogeneity, data volume, Round-Trip latency, Context Management and Processing, Service

To assess a wide range of mobile cloud components such as processing elements, storage, networking, applications, Qudaider [40] test objective is to study the adaptability of the proposed MCC framework by investigating the effect of cloudlet deployments on the performance results of power and delay. Every test keeps going around 3600s or one hour in area of 800x800m. In each experiment, 500 human subjects are moving in the area of the simulator and each user sends a packet to the cloud with a rate of 0.1Hz using WiFi or cellular technology, which relies on upon available technology, in his

This report will talk about Mobile Edge Computing (MEC) within the Radio Access Network (RAN). Although not a new concept, this report will explore why MEC is relevant for network applications and how it can be used to cope with the increasing demand of computing power from the cloud. It will also explore the potential application scenarios and the benefits it can bring in our everyday life.

Abstract - Network developing and Virtualization rising more and more in indoor Environment (POIs) can provide plenty of bandwidth and computing resources. At the same time people are suffering from the mobile device with limited resources. This leads to a novel local cloud computing paradigm in which mobile device can leverage nearby resources to facilitate task execution. Cloud computing is a computing resources such as processing, memory, and storage are not physically pres¬ent at the user’s location.

In any mobile devices for any application execution has two basic important requirements one are of processing power and other is that memory of that device capable of supporting that corresponding application. Cloud Computing technique provides us this opportunity to execute our applications on servers instead of processing them locally and support us to overcome the handset’s limitation of limited resources to a great extent. And also there will be no requirement for Mobile application programmers‟ to developed many versions of duplicate application. Advances in mobile hardware and software have allowed users to perform various tasks that were only possible on personal computers and specialized devices like digital cameras and GPS navigation systems. But still mobile phones are not capable of running all type of applications on its own without any constraint. . Nowadays Customers prefer improvements in battery life, storage size, weight etc. over computation capability. So to encounter these computation-intensive applications Mobile cloud computing is being introduced. Mobile cloud computing is combination of two well established computing schemes, cloud computing and mobile computing. Cloud computing is a style of computing in which dynamically scalable resources are provided as a virtualized service.

Abstract: Mobile devices have come a long way and their capabilities in terms of speed, raw computing capabilities, storage capacity and the applications that are real world end user friendly. The sale of mobile devices has seen a huge boom and is now surpassing those of PCs [1]. With this enormous use of smart phones across the world and as well as the introduction of cloud computing concept, Mobile Cloud computing or MCC has become the new paradigm in the world of mobile services. This paper will discuss the technology of MCC, applications and challenges faced.
