Leveraging Software-Defined-Networking for Energy Optimisation in Mobile-Cloud-Computing

Abstract Both mobile and cloud computing are two areas which are rapidly expanding in terms of use case and functionality. Whilst mobile computing enables a variety of feature rich functionality for users in a non-fixed location, cloud computing is revolu-tionising the way in which computing resources are being provisioned, used and optimised for both service providers and end users. These two fields are being combined in order to provide greater functionality for mobile devices by off loading resources to the cloud. However, the advantages of this only hold true if the device resources are truly optimised. This paper examines the effect of network simulation on understanding methods for optimising device life and suggests a number of ways in which Software-Defined-Networking (SDN) may be leveraged in order to determine the exact nature of optimisations available through this combination.
