Abstract

The world is now heading towards an era shaped by things that able to act and interact through Internet. Despite of many IoT devices suffer from limitations regarding to storage, processing capability, and communication, IoT plays a major role providing a new set of applications and services. Cloud computing provides a supplement solution for IoT limitation. Integration of IoT and Cloud Computing is considered a new direction that both scientist and business are seeking for bringing new applications and benefits to existing applications and services. Moreover, the fast development of mobile devices produces powerful devices that are able to play many roles, creating better IoT scenarios. In this paper; we propose a new MCloud IoT architecture that works on an IoT environment, which is composed by mobile devices such as smart phones, tablets, and smart sensors. MCloud IoT architecture is designed to deliver the applications and services demanded by end users. Moreover, we have included a layered communication model for devices’ communication. In our design we have taken into account the system performance and to provide QoS. We also analyze the benefits of our design. This new architecture provides a revolutionary vision that meets the future expectations of cloud systems.
