Abstract
As a way of augmenting constrained resources of mobile devices such as CPU and memory, many works on mobile cloud computing (MCC), where mobile devices utilize remote resources of cloud services or PCs, /have been proposed. A typical approach to resolving resource problems of mobile nodes in MCC is to offload functional components to other resource-rich nodes. However, most of the current woks do not consider a characteristic of dynamically changed MCC environment and propose offloading mechanisms in a conceptual level. In this paper, in order to ensure performance of highly complex mobile applications, we propose four different types of offloading mechanisms which can be applied to diverse situations of MCC. And, the proposed offloading mechanisms are practically designed so that they can be implemented with current technologies. Moreover, we define cost models to derive the most sutilable situation of applying each offloading mechanism and prove the performance enhancement through offloadings in a quantitative manner.
