A Survey on Communication Issues in Mobile Cloud Computing

Abstract

Despite the expanding utilization of mobile devices, exploring their full resources is an issue due to their limited battery power, processing power and data storage. The integration of cloud computing with mobile devices solves these issues by offloading major computation in to the cloud. This paper provides a survey on Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC), which helps to understand the MCC architecture, communication issues and applications. An extensive survey is made of communication issues and different approaches are discussed to overcome the communication issues. Finally open research challenges are also provided which will be helpful for active researchers in the field of MCC.
