Abstract

Mobile cloud computing enables the users to improve productivity, share data and collaborate with the other mobile users. Mobile users are able to share resources and applications without a high level capital expenditure on hardware and software resources. Though this new phenomenon is welcomed, people are sceptical about its effectiveness in the real world. Mobile resources if utilised properly will be a boon as it may pave way for their ubiquitous access. Energy efficient infrastructure is very much needed in mobile cloud as energy is the main limitation for mobile users. In this paper an energy conservative mobile cloud infrastructure is proposed. Mobile nodes are classified on the helper factor algorithm, which is based on battery consumption, memory storage, network bandwidth and time delay. Mobile node's ability to contribute its resource to other mobile nodes in its circle is determined. The concept of peer data sharing among mobile devices to enable reusability of data in its own circle is also proposed. Local server cache has been implemented effectively to retrieve the recently used files quickly.
