A REVIEW ON TASK SCHEDULING IN MOBILE CLOUD COMPUTING ENVIRONMENT

Cloud computing is a recent and upcoming technology which includes various areas. Due to some inherent defects of mobile devices, such as limited battery energy, insufficient storage space, mobile applications are confronted with many challenges in mobility management, quality of service (QoS) insurance, energy management and security issues, which has stimulated the emergence of many computing paradigms, such as Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC), Fog Computing, etc. Mostly one network application can be decomposed into fine-grained tasks which consist of sequential tasks and parallel tasks. With the assistance of mobile cloud computing, some tasks could be offloaded to the cloud for speeding up executions and saving energy. Maintaining energy conservation the efficiency of energy has become a major problem with increased usage of devices consuming more energy due to MCC paradigms allow to offload some tasks to the cloud for execution. To manage this problem task are schedule in both at the mobile device and in the mobile cloud. Task scheduling is taken as the factor to reduce consumption of energy. Tasks can be assigned and scheduled based on the algorithms and so energy can be conserved.
