This paper surveys the literature of opportunistic offloading. Opportunistic offloading refers to
offloading traffic originally transmitted through the cellular network to opportunistic network …

The rapid developments in the mobile application context illuminate the demand for more
resources and processing power at Smart Mobile Devices (SMDs). Mobile Cloud Computing …

In order to improve mobile users' service experience, mobile cloud computing (MCC) is
promoted. Although MCC can alleviate the burdens of Smart mobile devices (SMDs) by …

Fog computing combines cloud services with geographically distributed resources near the
network edge to offer computational offloading possibilities to end devices, featuring low …

We consider a mobile cloud computing system with multiple users, a remote cloud server,
and a computing access point (CAP). The CAP serves both as the network access gateway …

Next generation communication networks are expected to accommodate a high number of
new and resource-voracious applications that can be offered to a large range of end users …

In this paper, we consider the problem of making an optimal offloading decision for a mobile
user in an ad-hoc mobile cloud in which the mobile user can offload his computation tasks to …

Mobile cloud computing (MCC), as a prospective computing paradigm, can significantly
enhance computation capability and save energy of smart mobile device (SMD) by …

Over the past decade, there has been an increasing demand for mobile devices to perform
computationally intensive tasks. However, the computational capability of these devices is …

A novel concept of the edge cloud has recently been introduced to reduce transmission
costs in mobile cloud computing services. Heterogeneous networks with diverse radio …
