Análise da capacidade de descarregamento de redes móveis densas : análise de desempenho em computação em nuvem

Abstract

With the emergence of smartphones and the increasing number of applications developed for them, it is difficult to exploit their full potential due to their energy and hardware limitations. In order to solve the related problems, we have the Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC), which extends the vision of the utilitarian computing of cloud computing to increase the computational and energetic resources of the mobile devices. This increase is achieved through offloading, which is a technique that allows application processes to be performed in external resource providers. Among the various solutions proposed in an MCC environment, many problems are faced, among them are the latency and limitation of the cloud’s resources due to the high cost of its acquisition. In this work we perform an analysis and evaluation of how these problems affect the performance of the proposed environments, showing which offloading model is most appropriate for a particular configuration, the analysis was carried out taking into account several factors, such as the number of connected devices, performed in local or remote cloud, and amount of data processed.
