| 284 | Data accessed on the mobile devices is exploding, but current mobile applications do a poor job in conserving energy while ensuring good performance, to satisfy the rapid increase in the frequency and volume of data access. The cloud services accessed by these applications consider neither the role of mobile operator’s network nor the mobile device state, leading to poor application performance and wastage of network resources. Today’s mobile operator (MO)’s networks are no longer “dumb pipes” but are connected to data centers with large amount of resources. We argue that this disruptive change makes MO’s network increasingly resemble a cloud computing infrastructure. We propose a storage platform called Infinity that can be used by service providers to effectively exploit the mobile operator’s network, while saving energy on the mobile devices. |
