Efficient techniques for energy optimization in Mobile Cloud Computing

Mobile devices including smart phones are becoming an essential component of our daily life. These devices have powerful capabilities and useful applications to help us performing several tasks in less time and effort especially within cloud services. On the other hand, mobile devices have serious limitations such as battery life time, computation power, and storage capacity. Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is an emerging technology that helps in avoiding such limitations in mobile devices, mainly saving energy. In this paper, we will address the energy efficiency in Mobile Cloud Computing since it is the most important design requirement for mobile devices. We will present techniques and prototypes in MCC to reduce power consumption and increase resources efficiency and utilization.
