Mobile Cloud Computing is an evolving technology that combines the concept of cloud computing into the mobile environment. With the rise of mobile devices the resource demands of applications also grows. However, mobile devices have limited resources like its storage capacity, battery lifetime, bandwidth etc. These limitations can be overcome by offloading of applications, which is the focus of...

In recent years, offloading mobile traffic through Wi-Fi has emerged as a potential solution to lower down the communication cost for users. Users hope reduce while keeping delay in an acceptable range offloading. Also, different users have sensitivities and performance. How make proper cost-delay tradeoff according user's preference is key issue design of strategy. To address this issue, we pr...

This paper studies a new mobile edge computing (MEC) setup where an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is served by cellular ground base stations (GBSs) for computation offloading. The UAV flies between a give pair of initial and final locations, during which it needs to accomplish certain computation tasks by offloading them to some selected GBSs along its trajectory for parallel execution. Under t...

Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is an infrastructure where the data and the processing of data are outsourced. MCC integrates cloud computing into the mobile environment and executes the applications in the mobile device effectively by partitioning and offloading the computation intensive task to external resources (e.g. Public Clouds). The effective offloading is mainly focused on the decision ma...

BACKGROUND Footwear and offloading techniques are commonly used in clinical practice for preventing and healing of foot ulcers in persons with diabetes. The goal of this systematic review is to assess the medical scientific literature on this topic to better inform clinical practice about effective treatment. METHODS We searched the medical scientific literature indexed in PubMed, EMBASE, CIN...

Mobile offloading enables mobile devices to distribute computation-intensive tasks to the cloud or other devices for energy conservation or performance gains. In principle, the idea is to trade the relatively low communication energy expense for high computation power consumption. In this thesis, we first focus on the technique of mobile code offloading to the cloud by proposing the new techniq...

To support intensive computations on resourcerestricting mobile devices, studies have been made to enable the offloading of a part of a mobile program to the cloud. However, none of the existing approaches considers user privacy when transmitting code and data off the device, resulting in potential privacy breach. In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a system that automati...

Traffic offloading in cellular networks is considered an evolving application of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). UAVs have attractive characteristics for this application, such as the ease deployment, relatively low cost and line-of-sight signal propagation. This paper proposes a machine learning-based deployment temporary base stations (BSs) to complement communication systems times excess tr...

Abstract With the increasing level of IoT applications, computation offloading is now undoubtedly vital because devices limitation processing capability and energy. Computation involves moving data from to another layer with higher capability. However, size offloaded directly proportional delay incurred by offloading. Therefore, introducing reduction technique reduce offloadable minimizes resul...
