Big data and mobile cloud computing: Issues and challenges

Modern era is the use of mobile devices like smart phones etc. As the technology has changed we are using mobile phones for each and every application we used to do with our computer system in previous times. But smart phones have their own limitations in terms of their small screen, small battery size, less memory as well as processing power. On the other hand applications running on mobile are becoming more and more complex. With the advent of IOT (Internet of Things) this demand has increased in form of processing capability as well as data handling requirements. Massive data or big data collected from different sensors used in mobile devices also place a demand for large computing infrastructure and processing power for data processing and analysis. Therefore there is a gap between demand and available resources. Mobile Cloud computing tries to overcome these Big Data handling issues but still there are many issues and challenges. The issues, existing solutions and approaches are presented.
