Abstract-Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is a newparadigm that has been introduced as an optimal solution for mobile technology's issues. Mobile technology aims to exploit the advantages offered by the Cloud in order to provide ubiquitous PC-like functionalities to mobile users. It is noteworthy that despite the benefits associated with the adoption of the Cloud by mobile technology the gate to the Cloud remains frozen. This means that mobile applications often use the same services without having an update of the novelty in Cloud. Thus, applications lack awareness of new services which are more advantageous in terms of features and qualities than the currently used ones. To enable mobile applications to exploit the Cloud intelligently, we propose Smart Mobile Cloud Architecture (SMCA). We consider this new architecture as referential allowing MCC users to have a full awareness of both contexts (Cloud and Mobile) at the same time. We introduce a new concept called Smart Cloud Gate (SCG), which aims to profile both mobile applications and the Cloud to extract knowledge that will be used as a criteria to select the appropriate services, which will be suggested to mobile applications and give each different application the appropriate view of the Cloud.

Abstract-Mobile Cloud Computing enables augmenting mobile device capabilities and increasing battery lifetime through the extension of cloud services and resources, resulting in an enhanced user experience. However, the development of a mobile cloud application is challenging because it involves dealing with different cloud providers and mobile platforms. To tackle the above issues, a mobile cloud architecture is proposed to asynchronously delegate resource-intensive mobile tasks in order to alleviate the mobile device load and, consequently, extend the battery life. We demonstrate this capability by developing an interface that supports the delegation of heavy tasks from mobile apps running under the Android mobile platform to a cloud computing environment managed by the Aneka Cloud Application Platform. The Aneka Mobile Client Library encapsulates the processes of communicating to cloud is provided, thus, the effort and complexity of developing a mobile cloud application is decreased. Two different resource-intensive mobile application are presented in order to show the library effectiveness. A performance evaluation is conducted showing the feasibility of architecture through the reduction of application execution time and extension of mobile device battery life.

Future autonomous transportation systems necessitate network infrastructure capable of accommodating massive vehicular connectivity, despite the scarce availability of frequency resources. Current approaches for achieving such required high spectral efficiency, rely on the utilization of Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (MIMO) technology. However, conventional MIMO processing approaches, based on linear processing principles, leave much of the system's capacity heavily unexploited. They typically require a large number of powerconsuming antennas and RF-chains to support a substantially smaller number of concurrently connected devices, even when the devices are transmitting at low rates. This translates to inflated operational costs that become substantial, particularly in ultradense, metropolitan-scale deployments. Therefore, the question is how to efficiently harness this unexploited MIMO capacity and fully leverage the available RF infrastructure to maximize device connectivity. Addressing this challenge, this work proposes an Open Radio Access Network (Open-RAN) deployment, with Massively Parallelizable Non-linear (MPNL) MIMO processing for densely deployed, and power-efficient vehicular networks. For the first time, we quantify the substantial gains of MPNL in achieving massive vehicular connectivity with significantly reduced utilized antennas, compared to conventional linear approaches, and without any throughput loss. We find that an Open-RAN-based realization exploiting the MPNL advancements can yield an increase of over 300% in terms of concurrently transmitting single-antenna vehicles in urban mobility settings and for various Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) and Network (V2N) use cases. In this context, we discuss how implementing MPNL within the Open-RAN ecosystem allows for simpler and more densely deployed radio units, paving the way for fully autonomous and sustainable transportation systems.
