Mobile crowd sensing enables large-scale sensing of the physical world at low cost by leveraging the available sensors on the mobile phones. One of the key factors for the success of mobile crowd sensing is uploading the sensing data to the cloud promptly. Traditional data uploading strategies leveraging whenever available networks may incur extra data cost, impact phone performance,, drain battery...
According to forecasts, by 2018 the number of mobile phone subscribers worldwide could cross the four billion barrier. Mauritius is also witnessing a major growth in mobile subscriptions and the total number of mobile subscriptions was 1,533,600 in 2013. Recently, there has been a growing concern with regards to the energy consumption of mobile phones which now amounts to a non-negligible figure given...
To cope with increasing energy consumption in mobile devices, the mobile cloud offloading has received considerable attention from its ability to offload processing tasks of mobile devices to cloud servers, and previous studies have focused on single type tasks in fixed network environments. However, real network environments are spatio-temporally varying, and typical mobile devices have not only...
The performance gap between mobile phones and computers shrinks with advancing mobile phone technology. Powerful mobile devices with fast networking are capable of participating in overlay networks. However, a challenge is the limited power capacity of mobile devices, as networking is one of the most battery-draining functionality of mobile phones, yet essential for the participation in an overlay...
With the increasing trend for Internet-capable mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablet PCs, users create an explosion of media streaming traffic. Even though the current cellular networks are barely able to provide such service in tolerable data rates, it leads to significant energy consumption. Therefore, in this paper, a cooperative method is proposed to minimize the energy consumption of...
