3. What is Mobile Cloud Computing?
Mobile cloud computing (MCC) at its simplest, refers to an
infrastructure where both the data storage and data
processing happen outside of the mobile device.

4. Why Mobile Cloud Computing?
Mobile devices face many resource challenges
(battery life, storage, bandwidth etc.)
Cloud computing offers advantages to users by
allowing them to use infrastructure, platforms and
software by cloud providers at low cost and elastically
in an on-demand fashion.

5. MCC Popularity
According to a recent study by ABI Research, more
than 240 million business will use cloud services
through mobile devices by 2015.
That traction will push the revenue of mobile cloud
computing to $5.2 billion.
Mobile cloud computing is a highly promising trend
for the future of mobile computing.

6. MCC Architecture

7. MCC Architecture
Mobile devices are connected to the mobile networks via base
stations that establish and control the connections and functional
interfaces between the networks and mobile devices.
Mobile users’ requests and information are transmitted to the
central processors that are connected to servers providing mobile
network services.
The subscribers’ requests are delivered to a cloud through the
Internet.
 In the cloud, cloud controllers process the requests to provide
mobile users with the corresponding cloud services.

8. Advantages of MCC
Extending battery lifetime
Improving data storage capacity and processing
power
Improving reliability and availability
Dynamic provisioning
Scalability
Multi-tenancy
Ease of Integration

9. MCC Applications
Mobile Commerce:
–M-commerce allows business models for commerce
using mobile devices.
–Examples: Mobile financial, mobile advertising,
mobile shopping
Mobile Learning:
M-learning combines e-learning and mobility

10. MCC Applications
•Mobile Healthcare:
–M-healthcare is to minimize the limitations of
traditional medical treatment (eg. Small storage,
security/privacy, medical errors, …)
–Examples:
•Comprehensive health monitoring services
•Intelligent emergency management system
•Health-aware mobile devices (detect pulse-rate,
blood pressure, level of alcohol etc)

11. MCC Applications
Mobile Gaming:
–M-game is a high potential market generating
revenues for service providers.
–Can completely offload game engine requiring
large computing
–resource (e.g., graphic rendering) to the server in
the cloud.
 Assistive technologies:
Mobile currency reader for blind and visually
impaired

12. MCC Applications
Other applications:
– Sharing photos/videos
– Keyword-based, voice-based, tag-based searching
– Monitoring a house, smart home systems

13. MCC Issues
•Mobile communication issues:
–Low bandwidth
N/w resources is much smaller compared to
traditional N/Ws.
–Service availability
Traffic congestion(connection problem)
–Heterogeneity
Different mobile environment e.g.,
WCDMA,GPRS,WIMAX
–Qos (n/w delay)
–Pricing

14. MCC Security Issues
-Security issues
-security for mobile users(virus, worm ,Trojan
etc).
-security data on cloud
-GPS can cause privacy issue for subscriber.
-LBS(Location Based Services) faces privacy
issues.

15. Conclusion
 With the new opportunities, cloud
computing has also brought new challenges for the
mobile environment. Luckily, there are multiple ways
of solving these obstacles to use cloud computing
from the mobile devices. From this perspective, MCC
has a very big potential to jump in the mobile
business and to become one of the mobile
technology trends in , as it combines the advantages
of both mobile computing and cloud computing.
