Modern mobile phones have a powerful processing unit that can perform multiple operations simultaneously. But the main constrain is the processing power and energy required to drive it. Cloud computing has come as a blessing for the mobile computing as it possesses a vast resource, high storage capacity and high processing power. In Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC), computation is offloaded to the cloud, cloud processes the data and generates information; and sends it back to the mobile device. Probability of offloading depends on line bandwidth, line length, size of data, processing speed of mobile, processing speed of cloud, storage and energy capacity of mobile etc. This paper presents a model for efficient data offloading decision, depending on the total execution time of a task when the data computation happens in the mobile and when it is offloaded to the cloud. An algorithm has been proposed here on data offloading decision. As thus an equation has been proposed to observe the probability of offloading process.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
