In spite of major advances in a mobile cloud computing, applications are still very limited due to poor computation processing power, memory and limited battery life of a mobile device. Recently, offloading computation intensive task to the cloud has become a great solution to improve both battery life and performance of mobile devices. Offloading makes use of quality of services concept to rem...

The proliferation of mobile devices has significantly changed the way users consume information. As a result, mobile data traffic has been increasing exponentially since 2009. According to current predictions, more than 24 exabytes of mobile traffic will be traversing operators’ networks by 2019, with 72% of this traffic being generated by multimedia. This shift in user behavior requires a thor...

Mobile systems, such as smartphones, are becoming the primary platform of choice for a user’s computational needs. However, mobile devices still suffer from limited resources such as battery life and processor performance. To address these limitations, a popular approach used in mobile cloud computing is computation offloading, where resourceintensivemobile components are offloaded tomore resou...

Mobile data offloading, often known as Wi-Fi offloading, is the use of complementary network technologies for delivering data originally targeted for cellular networks. Offloading reduces the amount of data being carried on the cellular bands, freeing bandwidth for other users. It is also used in situations where local cell reception may be poor, allowing the user to connect via wired services ...

We propose a novel strategy for energy-efficient dynamic computation offloading, in the context of edge-computing-aided beyond 5G networks. The goal is to minimize energy consumption overall system, comprising multiple User Equipment (UE), an access point (AP), and edge server (ES), under constraints on end-to-end service delay packet error rate performance over wireless interface. To reduce co...

Handheld mobile devices have evolved from simple voice communication devices to general purpose devices capable of executing complex applications. Despite this evolution, the applications executing on the mobile devices suffer due to their constrained resources. The constraints such as limited battery lifetime, limited storage and processing capabilities produce an adverse impact on the perform...

BACKGROUND Footwear and offloading techniques are commonly used in clinical practice for the prevention and treatment of foot ulcers in diabetes, but the evidence base to support this use is not well known. The goal of this review was to systematically assess the literature and to determine the available evidence on the use of footwear and offloading interventions for ulcer prevention, ulcer tr...

The use of mobile applications and their functionality are increasing day by day but mobile devices are still inferior to ordinary computers in terms of memory and processor capacity. Furthermore, the rapid depletion of the mobile devices’ energy is still a major problem. Performance and energy shortcomings of mobile devices can be improved by using surrogate or cloud computing technologies. In...
