Mobile performance metrics for resource management

In information technology two recent trends can be observed. Mobile computer technology has greatly evolved providing various rich functionalities. Capabilities of mobile terminal is given, more performance can be obtained with adding additional resources. Cloud computing is recognized to be a new area for solving performance issues. These technologies used together can enhance the user experience of the mobile terminal. Sophisticated mobile resource management layer needs to be used, that can utilize extra performance of the cloud. The basis of effective resource management is a precise knowledge of the hardware and software capabilities, furthermore, the usage of mobile terminal. Performance metrics serve as an input for resource management. This study will present architecture of mobile performance measurement and profile creation layer. Key performance metrics are collected and investigated. Attributes of profile creation are also gathered. Architecture is examined, whether it can be later used as an input for mobile resource management.
