Mobile Cloud Computing Applied in Social TV

As the growth in technology the usage of personal mobile devices are providing much richer contents and social interactions to users while moving. This trend however is throttled by the limited battery lifetime of mobile devices and interrupted wireless connectivity, to guarantee the possible quality of service faced by mobile users not feasible. The cloud computing technology, with its resources used to overcome the limitations of mobile devices and connections can potentially provide the best platform to support the desired mobile services. Tough challenges arise on how to use the cloud resources to provide mobile services, especially those with severeg9 interaction delay of requirements. In this paper, we intend the design of a Mobile Cloud Computing Applied in Social TV. The system can utilizes both PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) and IaaS (Infrastructure-as-a- Service) cloud services to provide the living-room experience of video watching to a group of mobile users who can interact socially while sharing the video.
