Abstract

Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is a distributed computing model which outspreads the idea of utility computing of the Cloud Computing to the Smart Mobile Devices (SMDs). Outsourcing intensive applications of the SMDs to the remote servers is the key idea of Mobile Cloud Computing. Many techniques have been developed for offloading computation intensive application code on the cloud servers for execution for saving scarce resources of the mobile devices such as battery life, network bandwidth, device’s storage memory, processing unit’s performance etc. This paper presents review on techniques for computational offloading. Computation offloading is relocating some computation concentrated part of an application code to a cloud server for execution to fulfil the source requirements. A comparative study on the techniques for computational offloading has been shown on the basis of parameters such as bandwidth, network latency, cost, energy consumption, execution time etc.
