Green Mobile Cloud Computing

Abstract Green mobile cloud computing is an emerging research area today. Green mobile network means an energy-efficient mobile network that consumes low power. Small cell network provides a green mobile network. By offloading computation inside the cloud, the power consumption by a mobile device can be reduced. But this can cause more power consumption and expense inside the cloud. Thus, there should be a tradeoff between an energy-efficient mobile network and a green cloud environment. In this chapter, we discuss several existing approaches for green mobile networks and green cloud computing. Based on ...
