Smartphone applications like games, image processing, e-commerce and social networking are gaining exponential growth, with the ubiquity of cellular services. This demands increased computational power and storage from mobile devices with a sufficiently high bandwidth for mobile internet service. But mobile nodes are highly constrained in the processing and storage, along with the battery power, which further restrains their dependability. Adopting the unlimited storage and computing power offered by cloud servers, it is possible to overcome and turn these issues into a favorable opportunity for the growth of mobile cloud computing. As the mobile internet data traffic is predicted to grow at the rate of around 65 percent yearly, even advanced services like 3G and 4G for mobile communication will fail to accommodate such exponential growth of data. On the other hand, developers extend popular applications with high end graphics leading to smart phones, manufactured with multicore processors and graphics processing units making them unaffordable. Therefore, to address the need of resource constrained mobile nodes and bandwidth constrained cellular networks, the computations can be migrated to resourceful servers connected to cloud. The server now acts as a bridge that should enable the participating mobile nodes to offload their computations through Wi-Fi directly to the virtualized server. Our proposed model enables an on-demand service offloading with a decision support system that identifies the capabilities of the client's hardware and software resources in judging the requirements for offloading. Further, the node's location, context and security capabilities are estimated to facilitate adaptive migration.

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is an important factor in increasing production efficiency in industrial sectors, along with data collection, exchange and analysis through large-scale connectivity. However, as traffic increases explosively due to the recent spread of IIoT, an allocation method that can efficiently process traffic is required. In this thesis, I propose a two-stage task offloading decision method to increase successful task throughput in an IIoT environment. In addition, I consider a hybrid offloading system that can offload compute-intensive tasks to a mobile edge computing server via a cellular link or to a nearby IIoT device via a Device to Device (D2D) link. The first stage is to design an incentive mechanism to prevent devices participating in task offloading from acting selfishly and giving difficulties in improving task throughput. Among the mechanism design, McAfee's mechanism is used to control the selfish behavior of the devices that process the task and to increase the overall system throughput. After that, in stage 2, I propose a multi-armed bandit (MAB)-based task offloading decision method in a non-stationary environment by considering the irregular movement of the IIoT device. Experimental results show that the proposed method can obtain better performance in terms of overall system throughput, communication failure rate and regret compared to other existing methods.

As the use of mobile data increases, the proportion of video content is increasing steeply. In order to solve problems that arise when mobile users receive data from geographically remote cloud servers, methods of caching data in advance to edge servers geographically close to the users are attracting lots of attention. In this paper, we present a caching policy that stores data on Small Cell Base Station(SBS) to effectively provide content files to mobile users by applying a delayed offloading scheme in a cellular network. The goal of the proposed policy is to minimize the size of data transmitted from Macro Base Station(MBS) because the delayed offloading scheme requires more cost than when downloaded from MBS than from SBS. The caching policy is proposed to determine the size of content file and which content file to be cached to SBS using the probability of mobile users' paths and the popularity of content files, and to replace content files in consideration of the overlapping coverage of SBS. In addition, through performance evaluation, it has been proven that the proposed policy reduces the size of data downloaded from MBS compared to other algorithms.

Recently, many researchers claim that mobile data offloading is a key solution to alleviating overloaded cellular traffic by dividing the overloaded traffic with femtocells, WiFi networks or users. In this paper, we propose an idea to select a group of users, known as VIPs, that is able to effectively transfer the data to others using Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Application with Noise, also known as DBSCAN algorithm. We conducted our experiments using NCCU real trace dataset. The results show that our proposed idea offload about 70~77% of the network with VIP set size of four, which is better than the compared methods.

Offloading is a method of communicating, processing, and receiving results from some of the applications performed on local computers to overcome the limitations of computing resources and computational speed.Recently, it has been applied in mobile games, multimedia data, 360-degree video processing, and image processing for Internet broadcasting to speed up processing and reduce battery consumption in the mobile computing sector. This paper implements a viewer that enables users to convert various flat-panel images and view contents in a wireless Internet environment and presents actual results of an experiment so that users can easily understand the images. The 360 degree spherical image is successfully converted to a plane image with Double Panorama, Quad, Single Rectangle, 360 Overview + 3 Rectangle depending on the image acquisition position of the 360 degree camera through the interface. During the experiment, more than 100 360 degree spherical images were successfully converted into plane images through the interface below.

This paper proposes the data security technology for the desktop virtualization environment using the separated software execution method. In the virtual environment where allocates separate VMs to the users, there is a benefit that the programs in one guest machine are isolated from the programs running in another guest machine, whereas in the separated execution environment that supports application virtualization, the isolation is not offered and it causes the data security problem because the applications are executed by the one root privilege in the server. To solve this problem, we provides the data security method using the server storage filter, the viewer filter, and the file mapping table in this paper.

In Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A), small cell enhancement(SCE) has been developed as a cost-effective way of supporting exponentially increasing demand of wireless data services and satisfying the user quality of service(QoS). However, due to the dense and irregular distribution of a large number of small cells, the offloading scheme should be applied in the small cell network. In this paper, we propose an user offloading scheme for SCE in LTE-Advanced system. We divide the small cells into different clusters according to the reference signal received power(RSRP) from user equipment(UE). Within a cluster, We apply the user offloading scheme with the consideration of the number of users and interference conditions. Simulation results show that proposed scheme can improve the throughput, and spectral efficiency of small cell users. Eventually, proposed scheme can improve overall cell performance.

Mobile devices have limited computing power and resources. Since mobile devices are equipped with rich network connectivity, an approach to subscribe cloud services can effectively remedy the problem, which is called Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC). Most works on MCC depend on a method to offload functional components at runtime. However, these works only consider the limited verion of offloading to a pre-defined, designated node. Moveover, there is the limitation of managing services subscribed by applications. To provide a comprehensive and practical solution for MCC, in this paper, we propose a self-stabilizing process and its management-related methods. The proposed process is based on an autonomic computing paradigm and works with diverse quality remedy actions such as migration or replicating services. And, we devise a pratical offloading mechanism which is still in an initial stage of the study. The proposed offloading mechanism is based on our proposed MCC meta-model. By adopting the self-stabilization process for MCC, many of the technical issues are effectively resolved, and mobile cloud environments can maintain consistent levels of quality in autonomous manner.

Current web-server deals a multimedia data as well as text data. But dealing a multimedia data is high burden to web-server. So it can degrade web-server response. We introduce H/W feature CDA (Contents Delivery Accelerator). Main function of this H/W is transferring data between SCSI disk and NIC by direct path, and TCP offloading. These 2 functions can accelerate web-server performance. In this paper we will explain problem of current web-server and suggest our new architecture and say various implementation issues.
