Abstract

Mobile cloud computing is growing rapidly because its device (i.e., smart phone) is becoming one of the main processing devices for users nowadays. Due to the limitation of resources such as battery life time, CPU and memory capacity, etc., a mobile device cannot satisfy some applications which usually demand more resources than it can afford. To alleviate this, the mobile device should collaborate with external resources to increase its capacity. In order to address these problems, we introduce a collaboration of thin-thick clients which enhances thin client capacities. We further propose a strategy to optimize the data distribution, especially big data in cloud computing. Moreover, we present an algorithm to allocate resources to meet service level agreement (SLA) and conduct simulations to evaluate our approach. Our results evaluation shows that our approach can improve resource allocation efficiency and has better performance than existing approaches.
