A Cooperative Incentive Structure for Mobile Cloud Computing

Abstract

Encouraging the mobile devices to contribute their idle resources is critical to promote the quality of service of Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC), especially when the remote cloud service is absent or the access bandwidth is limited. In order to achieve this goal, a carefully devised MCC architecture with appreciate incentive mechanismis needed. In this paper, inthe view point of cooperative game, an incentive structure based on Shapley Value is brought forward for Hybrid Local Mobile Cloud Model-with stabilityanalysis. Moreover, the implementation issues of the incentive structure and its experimental evaluation are presented.
