Today, during global economic downturn, exponential growth of businesses and e-commerce deeply require better and innovative technique to reduce cost with increasing value. Now a days due to the requirement of anytime anything from anywhere, the volume of data accessibility increases, which gave birth to the cloud computing. More or less Cloud computing describes highly scalable computing resources supplied as an outer service through internet on pay-as-usability basis. Main call for Cloud computing is that users only utilize what they required and only pay for what they really use. Cloud computing is used to provide services to a local client through internet on on-demand basis. With increasing use of mobile devices, the requirement of Cloud Computing in mobile devices arises. The emanation of Cloud Computing with Mobile web gave birth to Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC). Mobile devices do not need to have powerful configuration because all computations can be performed outside the mobile devices. This paper gives summary of Mobile cloud computing (MCC), which includes introduction, architecture, applications and benefits of MCC. It also covers what are the issues and approaches for MCC and future research directions of Mobile Cloud Computing.
