Mobile cloud computing promises several benefits such as extra battery life and storage,
scalability, and reliability. However, there are still challenges that must be addressed in
order to enable the ubiquitous deployment and adoption of mobile cloud computing. Some
of these challenges include security, privacy and trust, bandwidth and data transfer, data
management and synchronization, energy efficiency, and heterogeneity. We present a
thorough overview of mobile cloud computing and differentiate it from traditional cloud …

In society today, mobile communication and mobile computing have a significant role in
every aspect of our lives, both personal and public communication. However, the growth in
mobile computing usage can be enhanced by integrating mobile computing into cloud
computing. This will result in emerging a new model called Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC)
that has recently attracted much attention in the academic sector. In this work, the main
challenges and issues related to MCC are outlined. We also present the recent work and …
