摘要：In recent years, mobile devices such as smart phones, tablets empowered with tremendoustechnological advancements. Augmenting the computing capability to the distant cloud help usto envision a new computing era named as mobile cloud computing (MCC). However, distantcloud has several limitations such as communication delay and bandwidth which brings the ideaof proximate cloud of cloudlet. Cloudlet has distinct advantages and is free from severallimitations of distant cloud. However, limited resources of cloudlet negatively impact thecloudlet performance with the increasing number of substantial users. Hence, cloudlet is aviable solution to augment the mobile device task to the nearest small scale cloud known ascloudlet. However, this cloudlet resource is finite which in some point appear as resourcescarcity problem. In this paper, we analyse the cloudlet resource scarcity problem on overallperformance in the cloudlet for mobile cloud computing. In addition, for empirical analysis, wemake some definitions, assumptions and research boundaries. Moreover, we experimentallyexamine the finite resource impact on cloudlet overall performance. By, empirical analysis, weexplicitly establish the research gap and present cloudlet finite resource problem in mobilecloud computing. In this paper, we propose a Performance Enhancement Framework ofCloudlet (PEFC) which enhances the finite resource cloudlet performance. Our aim is toincrease the cloudlet performance with this limited cloudlet resource and make the better userexperience for the cloudlet user in mobile cloud computing.
