Abstract

Mobile computing, wireless networks, and cloud computing are three technologies that are converging into a rapidly growing field of Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC). With the dramatically increased capacities of the 5th generation (5G) mobile networks, MCC services are expected to witness a period of rapid development and become a new hotspot of mobile services. It is anticipated that people's work patterns and life styles in a future networked society will be dramatically changed by MCC. IBM predicts that there will be 1 trillion cloud-ready devices by 2015, and most Internet users will work primarily through cyberspace-based applications on remote servers accessed through networked devices. Through future applications enabled by 5G, MCC will have profound impacts on almost every aspect of our future digital lives.
