Abstract

In spite of the dramatic growth in the number of smartphones in the recent years, the energy capacity challenge for these devices has not been solved satisfactorily. Moreover, the global demand for green Information and Communication Technology (ICT) motivates the researchers to consider cloud computing as a new computing paradigm that is promising for green solution. In this paper, we propose new green solutions that save smartphones energy and at the same time achieve the green ICT goal. Our green solution is achieved by what we call Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC). The MCC migrates the content from the main cloud data center to local cloud data center temporary. The Internet Service Provide (ISP) provides the MCC, which holds the required contents for the smartphone network. Our analysis and experiments show that our proposed solution significantly reduces the ICT system energy consumption by 63% - 70%.
