Abstract. Following the growth of mobile device applications in the past years, mobile computing and cloud computing are suggesting a new computing paradigm. Demands for computing capability regarding potential technologies that are provided as mobile service are also growing. Meanwhile, necessity of Mobile cloud computing (MCC) is increasing due to the problems of mobile devices, such as resource poverty, battery constraint. However, clear definition is required as the concept of MCC is still ambiguous. Currently, it is necessary to classify the configuration methods of the resource-providing infrastructure environment of MCC. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of MCC and proposes a basic scheme. We suggest instance MCC (iMCC), which is a framework implementing offloading for the purpose of achieving efficient computing process and service provision. iMCC includes improved resource allocation method in MCC infrastructure as well as efficient offloading method. Finally, we summarize the conclusion and discuss future research. Keywords: Mobile cloud computing

1 Introduction Recently, mobile devices, from smart phone to wearable devices such as smart watch, are playing a central role in the actualization of mobile convergence in the ubiquitous society as fast and convenient communication tools. Most people have mobile devices and their utilization as information processing tools are increasing and getting more pervasive. The applications of mobile devices are rapidly growing in video games, augmented reality, and wearable computing as well as in the traditional categories such as entertainment, health, and social networks. As a result, people are demanding greater computing capability. Mobile devices, however, still have constrained resources, limited battery, and low bandwidth compared to traditional workstations. To address this problem, mobile devices can get resources from external source such as cloud computing platform. In particular, mobile cloud computing (MCC) which provide resources from a remote server to receive computing and storage services can overcome many issues of mobile devices. In this context, the demand for MCC which provides users with required tools and services anywhere, anytime is continuously increasing with the explosive growth of mobile applications and cloud computing. The importance of MCC is gradually increasing and related research is being actively conducted. Due © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2017 J.J. (Jong Hyuk) Park et al.

to the broad concept of MCC, the components of MCC are not clearly defined yet, and the construction methods of the resource-providing infrastructure environment of MCC are not clearly classified. MCC has the possibility of overcoming the device performance limitations such as battery life, storage, and bandwidth, as well as the environment issues such as he
