Abstract
With the performance development of mobile devices, applications requiring high computing power are increasing. Therefore, the need for mobile cloud computing (MCC) is emerging to improve the computing. MCC can enhance performance for the required resources by integrating, managing and using the resources of many mobile devices. MCC models that are being serviced now use various offload processing methods, but no offload method considering the characteristics of mobile device has been defined yet. In this paper, offload methods that transfer the tasks of mobile devices from the MCC environment to the cloud are classified into Client-Server Communication, Virtual Machine Migration, and Mobile Agent, and Mobile Agent is subdivided into Client Mobile Agent and Server Mobile Agent. Thus, a total of five offload methods are defined. Instead of the offload methods that do not consider the mobile environment, the Mobile Agent Oriented Service (MAOS) is proposed as a new offload method.
