Mobile-oriented internet technologies such as mobile cloud computing are gaining wider popularity in the IT industry. These technologies are aimed at improving the user internet usage experience by employing state-of-the-art technologies or their combination. One of the most important parts of modern mobile-oriented future internet is cloud computing. Modern mobile devices use cloud computing technology to host, share and store data on the network. This helps mobile users to avail different internet services in a simple, cost-effective and easy way. In this paper, we shall discuss the issues in mobile cloud resource management followed by a vendor-agnostic resource consolidation approach named Phantom, to improve the resource allocation challenges in mobile cloud environments. The proposed scheme exploits software-defined networks (SDNs) to introduce vendor-agnostic concept and utilizes a graph-theoretic approach to achieve its objectives. Simulation results demonstrate the efficiency of our proposed approach in improving application service response time.
