A review of computational offloading in Smart Mobile Devices for mobile cloud computing

Recent year has witnessed the rapid development of the wireless communication and Smart Mobile Device (SMD), which together contribute to the flourish of mobile cloud computing (MCC). The most important reason to the popularization of MCC is it offloads most of the computation-intensive operation of an application to a resource-unlimited cloud service provider (CSP), naming as computational offloading, which greatly reduced the computation and communication overhead for the resource-limited SMD. This paper presents a simple overview of the computational offloading in MCC. We discuss the computational offloading factors and showed the flowchart of computational offloading on the basis of several computation offloading factors. What's more, we compared the current computational offloading frameworks and reviewed the computational offloading under the background of Big Data. Finally, we make an overall conclusion and list some fundamental scientific problem and challenges in the computational offloading community of MCC.
