Abstract
Mobile cloud computing (MCC) holds a new dawn of computing, where the cloud users are attracted to multiple services through the Internet. MCC has a qualitative, flexible, and cost-effective delivery platform for providing services to mobile cloud users with the aid of the Internet. Due to the advantage of the delivery platform, several studies have been conducted on how to address different issues in MCC. The issues include energy efficiency in MCC, secured MCC, user-satisfied applications and Quality of Service-aware MCC (QoS). In this context, this paper qualitatively reviews different proposed MCC solutions. Therefore, taxonomy for MCC is presented considering major themes of research including energy-aware, security, applications, and QoS-aware developments. Each of these themes is critically investigated with comparative assessments considering recent advancements. Analysis of metrics and implementation environments used for evaluating the performance of existing techniques are presented. Finally, some open research issues and future challenges are identified based on the critical and qualitative assessment of literature for researchers in this field.
Highlights
Mobile cloud computing (MCC) has witnessed more rapid growth in terms of research due to the reason that mobile phones are becoming a vital need for human life
MCC is an important technology which is applicable in different services such as Electronic Mobile Learning (EML), Electronic Mobile Commerce (EMC), Electronic Mobile Banking (EMB), Electronic Mobile Game (EMG), and Electronic Mobile Healthcare (EMH) [3,4,5,6,7,8]
(i) We review and present an analysis of different issues and techniques employed in the MCC domain (ii) We present a classification structure and descriptive review of recent related work in MCC
Summary
Mobile cloud computing (MCC) has witnessed more rapid growth in terms of research due to the reason that mobile phones are becoming a vital need for human life. MDs are constrained with challenges of battery power, memory space, and computation power; for these reasons, the idea of offloading task to the cloud has been integrated into mobile devices. When offloading a task to cloud, so many issues are resolved, such as security, quality of service, and mobile application development, according to Zissis and Lekkas [9] and Kumar and Lu [10] as depicted, which represents MCC system view. Several research papers have proposed different reviews on mobile cloud computing with taxonomy focusing on the energy consumption, security, applications, and MCC quality of service.
