Sensor device virtualization for mobile cloud systems
Jin-Hwan Jeong · 2015
Mobile services can be characterized by wireless transmission and sensor data, so typical mobile cloud systems include additional servers which are not found in the traditional cloud systems. “Push/Sync” servers are examples to enhance wireless network experience, but no server can be found to aid the delivery of sensor data. As a result, developers have to write code to access sensor data using their own protocols under the error-prone wireless network, which makes the development time longer. To address this issue, we propose a mobile sensor device virtualization scheme that allows developers to access sensor data using local (cloud-side) sensor APIs instead of network APIs even if the services are run on cloud servers. Therefore, it is much easier to develop mobile services.
