Green Mobile Cloud Computing

Abstract

Mobile cloud computing (MCC) has emerged as a significant area of interest due to its ability of facilitating high computing power and massive storage capacity to the mobile users based on the cost-effective scheme of “pay-as-you-go”. Usually, the mobile devices have limited resources such as limited storage, limited computing power, limited battery life, etc. However, MCC provides the facility of using the cloud servers for storing data and executing exhaustive computation to deal with this problem. Internet of Things (IoT) is another promising paradigm of recent time that enables the integration of several technologies and supports networked interconnection of everyday objects equipped with ubiquitous intelligence. A huge amount of sensory data is generated from the large scale IoT networks which need to be stored and processed. In that case cloud computing has come up with the solution that can provide processing and storage on demand. The integration of IoT with MCC gives birth to a new dimension in wireless communication to support a variety of smart applications. This chapter presents an overview of IoT-MCC along with an illustration of the architecture and applications. The power-efficiency i.e. green aspect for IoT-MCC is also highlighted in this chapter. Finally, we highlight the future research directions of IoT- MCC in this chapter.
