Abstract

Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) uses cloud services to spread out the energy and computing resources of mobile devices. Despite these devices have grown in use, we observe a lack of models and simulation tools to study and analyse mobile devices resource limitation using cloud computing as solution. In this paper, we model a typical MCC architecture which focuses on an offloading perspective. Our model provides a development environment to validate offloading strategies without using a real cloud infrastructure. To validate our approach, we simulate the execution time of a task on a local (mobile device) and in a remote cloud. Results show that our models represent MCC scenarios with an maximum accuracy of 98.9%. Moreover, we verified the workload algorithm complexity impacts on the offloading decisions.
