Abstract: The use of mobile devices is ubiquitous in the current information era. However, there is a critical need for the technical integration of mobile computing with cloud computing to enhance the performance of mobile devices. Mobile cloud computing mechanism promises efficient ways of handling various constraints such as energy consumption, data transmission, bandwidth utilisation, weak network connectivity, and user mobility. This paper addresses these issues and discusses the benefits of integrating mobile communications with cloud computing. and the main focus is on computation offloading into the cloud as an effective technique for overcoming the energy constraints of mobile devices. The characteristics and implications of various computation offloading techniques are explored.

Keywords: mobile cloud computing; MCC; dynamic energy saving; content offloading.
