Poupr: properly utilizing user-provided recourses for energy saving in mobile cloud computing

Abstract

The mobile cloud computing (MCC) is an emerging technology, and its popularity is increasing drastically day by day. The mobile terminals’ (MTs) utilization can be improved by using remote cloud. In MCC technology, the MT energy consumption can be reduced, and this technology improves processing power, but still mobile terminals are suffering with dead zone issues. The previous works had not focused on this problem in mobile cloud platforms. In this paper, we address this problem by proposing energy-saving algorithm and also provide mathematical analysis. This proposed algorithm works based on user-provided resources called as properly offloading using user-provided recourses (POUPR). The mobile user shares processing power based on available devices in cluster when they are not close to MCC. The performance of the proposed algorithm POUPR is validated mathematically.
