Abstract

An application's offloading algorithm to over go the limitations of mobile terminals, namely their lack of computing capacity and limited battery autonomy is introduced. The proposed Mobile Application's Offloading algorithm enables to shift applicative jobs from mobile handsets to remote servers. The novelty of MAO consists in considering the Quality of Experience as an additional decision test before proceeding to application offloading. Based on various traffic scenarios, researchers study the efficiency of the MAO algorithm and show its performance in terms of rejected jobs and energy savings. First, the researchers consider the case where the application servers were placed systematically at the antenna's site. For a more realistic context of Mobile Cloud Computing, they extend the analysis by considering the case where the remote servers can be placed at different splitting points of the infrastructure. They assess by means of closed-forms fitting functions the performance of the MAO algorithm. Authors end this article with proposing an optimized applications servers placement.
