Abstract
Interest in using Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) for compute intensive mobile devices jobs such as multimedia applications has been growing. In fact, many new research efforts were invested to maximize the mobile intensive jobs offloading to the cloud within the cloud system coverage area. However, a large scale MCC deployment challenges and limitations are not considered. In this paper, a large scale Cloudlet-based MCC system deployment is introduced, aiming at reducing the power consumption and the network delay of multimedia applications while using MCC. The proposed deployment offers a large coverage area that can be used by mobile devices while they are moving from one location to another to reduce broadband communication needs. Practical experimental results and simulated results using show that using the proposed model reduces the power consumption of the mobile devices as well as reducing the communication latency when the mobile device requests a job to be performed remotely while satisfying the high quality of service requirements of mobile usersKeywords
