Cloudlet Routing: Investigating the Data Latency in Cloud Computing Environments Using Multimedia Content

With popularity of smartphones and the explosion of mobile applications, it has become necessary for the mobile devices to function with high performance processing tasks in comparison to the static clients along with the servers. The computational resources of a device can be limited due to the weight, memory, battery life, and heat dissipation. To overcome the limitations in the mobile devices, studies have realized cloud computing as one of the best solutions. However, cloud computing may express few issues, like long-latency and expensive roaming charges for the access of cellular radio. Cloudlets can provide benefits over the distance cloud; for example faster data transfer, efficient application processing, and reduced utilization of mobile resources. This paper has examined the routes among cloudlets in the cloud computing environment. It has been concluded that the combination of cloudlets can provide significant support to the cloud computing infrastructure environment. It can further enable the model to have access to more reliable and faster connections that may also suggest new routes for faster and more efficient data transfer.
