Review on pre-fetching for Mobile Cloud Computing

Improvement of our technology on mobile devices and the significant of cloud computing (CC) services has led to the integration of mobile devices with a CC service called as Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC). It provides many benefits for users. However, the increasing numbers of users utilising the MCC service leads to the latency on the network. Besides, there are several constraints on mobile devices including battery capacity, storage and bandwidth. Hence, this work proposes intelligent mobile web pre-fetching for the cloud environment in order to handle this critical problem. In order to increase understanding of MCC, we conducted an extensive study, previous work on the pre-fetching technique and Machine Learning, which were used to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of their performance. Our study corroborates that existing systems for the pre-fetching technique focuses on regular websites but it still narrows the study of cloud computing especially for mobile devices and still has limitations.
