A Remote Control Architecture for Thin-Client in Mobile Cloud Computing

Smart mobile devices such as smartphone, and smart pad have rapidly pervaded our everyday life. If the limitation of their relatively poor computing resources such as processor, memory, battery can be expanded, smart mobile devices will become more powerful tool for human life. Mobile cloud computing, in which resource-rich virtual machines of smart mobile device are provided to a customer as a service, can be terrific solution for expanding the limitation of real smart mobile device. However, existing cloud computing technique for this kind of service is very poor to meet the attractive quality. Especially, remotely interacting with virtual machine (VM) smoothly as if the VM is the real device itself is the most challenging part. Existing remote control protocols for desktop can be suggested as an alternative, but they have some fatal flaws. In this paper, we propose the remote control architecture for real-time, close-knit interaction between real smart mobile device and virtual one.
