Distributed Approach to the Holistic Resource Management of a Mobile Cloud Network

The Mobile Cloud Network is an emerging cost and capacity heterogeneous distributed cloud topological paradigm that aims to remedy the application performance constraints imposed by centralised cloud infrastructures. A centralised cloud infrastructure and the adjoining Telecom network will struggle to accommodate the exploding amount of traffic generated by forthcoming highly interactive applications. Cost effectively managing a Mobile Cloud Network computing infrastructure while meeting individual application's performance goals is non-trivial and is at the core of our contribution. Due to the scale of a Mobile Cloud Network, a centralised approach is infeasible. Therefore, in this paper a distributed algorithm that addresses these challenges is presented. The presented approach works towards meeting individual application's performance objectives, constricting system-wide operational cost, and mitigating resource usage skewness. The presented distributed algorithm does so by iteratively and independently acting on the objectives of each component with a common heuristic objective function. Systematic evaluations reveal that the presented algorithm quickly converges and performs near optimal in terms of system-wide operational cost and application performance, and significantly outperforms similar naïve and random methods.
