The document presents the RMCC framework, a mobile cloud computing solution that utilizes adjacent service-based mobile cloudlets to overcome the resource limitations of mobile devices. Key features include service-oriented architecture, reduction of data transfer via no code offloading, and various feasible use cases such as real-time computing and online learning. Results indicate significant improvements in execution time and energy consumption, with up to 87% time savings and 72% energy savings compared to traditional methods.

2. Motivation
• Trend: Mobile Everywhere
• However: Intrinsic Resource Poverty
=
Constraint CPUShort Battery Life Small Storage

3. State-of-the-art: Mobile Cloud Computing
• Leverage cloud-based resources
• Augment mobile devices
• Perform resource-intensive task remotely
• Major issues with tradition augmentation frameworks:
1. WAN latency
2. Partitioning overhead
3. Portability

4. RMCC main idea and use cases
• Use ASMobiC: Adjacent (one-hop) service-based mobile cloudlets as computing server
Resource sharing Incentive:
- Financial benefits (at least electricity bill)
- Reputation
- Reputation-based mutual benefits
Feasible Use cases
- Distributed analysis of sensitive/confidential/enterprise data
- Online real-time OCR in hospital
- E-learning in group
- On-campus scientific computing
- On-road navigation
- Real-time computing for smart city

5. RMCC Design Considerations & Significance
• Service-oriented architecture (loose coupling)
• Separation of responsibilities (simple and convenient)
• No code offloading (less data transfer)
• REST web services (less overhead, stateless)
• Arbitrated by MNO (mobile network operators)
• Centralized/decentralized mode (flexible security)
• Asynchronous
• Internet-free
• Green Computing

6. RMCC Architecture
• Main components:
Mobile Service Consumer
Mobile Service Provider
Trusted Service Governor

8. Statistical modelling
Via Linear Regression Model
• Generate: Independent Replication Method
• Train regression model using measured dataset to derive
regression equation.
• Derive model of time and energy via algorithm complexity
(Big-O) and regression equation.
• Validate using split-sample approach
• Generate time and energy data.
• Synthesize the results
