Abstract
Objective: Mobile devices have been found to perform high-performance processing tasks, as smart phones are increasingly becoming popular accompanied by development of mobile applications. Battery life, memory, weight, and heat dissipation limit the computational resources of the device. Cloud computing can be one of the best solutions to overcome mobile devices limitations. However, some of the problems that can be experienced in cloud computing include costly roaming charges and long-latency of cellular radio access. The purpose of this research paper is to develop an approach, which uses coordination between cloudlets, to not only enhance the performance of cloud access, but also bring new experience among mobile device users. Methods: A research review methodology was adopted to undertake analysis of the existing experimental studies on cloudlet computing to understand their proposed models, protocols, and theoretical framework for enhancing access and security of data from remote cloud using mobile devices, where cloudlets serve as intermediary. Location-Aware Service Deployment (LASD) algorithm was proposed to enhance cloudlet coordination through reduction of latency. Findings: The findings of existing experimental studies reveal several conclusive observations. There are benefits provided by the use of cloudlets over the remote cloud. They include faster processing of an application, faster data transfer as well as reducing the use of mobile resources. In the study, we have examined the data latency in the process of connections and data transfer between cloudlets including the distance cloud servers with and without coordination, using multimedia files. Application: Coordinated cloudlets will help clients to have their multimedia files to be transferred faster within the environment of cloud-computing. Keywords: Cloud Computing, Cloudlet, Data, Multimedia
Highlights
Mobile computing is an unstoppable wave, especially with the rapid advancements in the ICT and commerce
Latency was measured during the exchange of multimedia data content between the server in the cloud and three clients, and the delay was recorded
It is concluded that the three clients obtained the requested data in the second scenario, where they requested coordinated cloudlets, faster than in the first scenario where they requested cloudlets without coordination
Summary
Mobile computing is an unstoppable wave, especially with the rapid advancements in the ICT and commerce. Mobile gadgets, such as smartphone and tablet PC, are increasingly enhancing human life in terms of communication because of their effectiveness and convenience. By accessing various services through mobile apps like the iPhone and Google apps, mobile users are living with rich experiences. These mobile applications are installed on mobile devices and access respective services from remote servers through the internet or localized wireless networks. Mobile technology is facing two types of challenges: resources regarding storage, bandwidth, battery life, memory, and, weight; and communications regarding security and mobility.
