PEFC: Performance Enhancement Framework for Cloudlet in Mobile Cloud Computing

Augmenting the computing capability to the distant cloud help us to envision a new computing era named as mobile cloud computing (MCC). By leveraging the cloud resources mobile user can computation time and energy benefit. However, distant cloud has several limitations such as communication delay and bandwidth make us to think for closer cloud which brings the idea of proximate cloud of cloudlet. Cloudlet has distinct advantages and is free from several limitations of distant cloud. However, limited resources of cloudlet negatively impact the cloudlet performance with the increasing number of substantial users. In this paper, we propose a framework which helps to enhance the finite resource cloudlet performance by increasing cloudlet resources. Our aim is to increase the cloudlet performance with this limited cloudlet resource and make the better user experience for the cloudlet user in mobile cloud computing. We analyze and explain the each section of the proposed framework. In addition, we also list the important features and salient advantages of Performance Enhancement Framework of Cloudlet (PEFC).
