Mobile cloud computing (MCC) is the availability of cloud computing services in a mobile environment. By providing optimal services for mobile users MCC incorporates the elements of mobile networks and cloud computing. In mobile cloud computing, all the data and complicated computing modules can be processed in clouds and mobile devices do not need a powerful configuration like CPU speed, memory capacity etc. However, the mobile devices are facing up with many struggles in their resources (e. g. , battery life, storage, and bandwidth) and communications (e. g. , privacy, mobility and security). These challenges have great affect in the improvement of service qualities. In this paper, we discuss the overview of mobile cloud computing technology together with the architecture, applications, major characteristics, security issues, advantage and limitation and possibly solution.
