Abstract

Network latency is often high on mobile devices due to wireless access, e. g., via 3G cellular networks. To better use the ubiquitously available 3G network connections, we propose a pipelining task concept on a single encrypted channel between a mobile device and a cloud resource. This does not only increases wireless bandwidth occupation, it also makes wireless communication more predictable by assuring a high throughput even for small messages. Constantly high throughput allows for a better data transfer time estimation and can thus lead to a more adequate cloud resource selection to assist the mobile application. In an experimental evaluation using streaming image processing, we investigate the performance and applicability of our approach and compare it to the widely used HTTP.
