EEOA: Improving energy efficiency of mobile cloudlets using efficient offloading approach

Cyber Foraging concepts allow the users to take the benefits of low latency cloud services by offloading the computational requests to the nearest service provider instead of offloading the computational request services to service providers over Wide Area Network (WAN). The cloudlets are major components of cyber foraged systems and are deployed in the physical proximity of the users, where the cloudlets get connected with users through LAN or Wi-Fi. In the mobile state, the cloudlets are deployed over the mobile devices such as smart phones. The performance of mobile cloudlets depends upon the battery life of mobile devices, which is limited. In this work, we propose an energy efficient offloading approach EEOA, which can help in effective resource utilization of mobile cloudlets for optimal energy usage. Based on the simulation results, we observed that the EEOA helps in optimal resource utilization of mobile devices and also minimizes the energy consumption for mobile devices.
