A survey of mobile cloud computing for rich media applications

By leveraging Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC), resource-poor mobile devices are enabled to run rich media applications. In this article, we review mobile cloud computing, with focus on the technical challenges of MCC for multimedia applications, and briefly review the prototypes. The article is concluded with a discussion of several open research problems that call for substantial research efforts.
