Hybrid process cost evaluation method in mobile code offloading

Mobile cloud computing (MCC) permits mobile users to access the ample cloud computing resources. Mobile applications are pervasive and provide supplementary functionality on mobile devices, but these type of applications consume more battery of the mobile devices. Offloading the power hungry part of the application into the mobile cloud is one of the approach to prolong the battery lifetime of mobile devices. So it is important to implement the application partitioning/offloading by taking execution time and communication cost into consideration, so that better results can be obtained. The motive behind this paper is to explore different type of application partitioning algorithms. Firstly we implement the existing Branch and bound application partitioning algorithm (BBAP) and fetch the results. Then the proposed algorithm is implemented by adding CPU cycles to the existing system. Simulation results shows that by calculating CPU cycles the execution time and energy consumption of the processes can be reduced significantly.
