Desktop Solution for Mobile Environment Using Mobile Cloud Computing

Abstract: A virtual network computing based architecture for accessing the desktops of remote computers from a cellular phone. A viewer is provided on the cellular phone that enables the user to see and manipulate the desktop of various remote systems such as MS Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX. The system to be accessed must be running a VNC server and it must be attached to a network. . In this architecture, a mobile user exploits virtual machine (VM) technology to rapidly instantiate customized service software on a nearby cloudlet, and then uses that service over a wireless LAN .A proxy is used to send the image of the desktop to the cellular phone, to convert different devices, to suppress network traffics, and to support recovery from an unscheduled disconnection. To reduce user effort and solve problems inherent to the cellular phone’s small screen, several functions are provided on the cellular viewer. They are Shortcut Guidance and Twin view function.
