Mobile cloud computing is a very strong candidate for the title "Next Generation Network" which empowers mobile users with extended mobility, service continuity and superior performance. Users can expect to execute their jobs faster, with lower battery consumption and affordable prices; however this is not always the case. Various mobile applications have been developed to take advantage of this new technology, but each application has its own requirements. Several mobile cloud architectures have been proposed but none was suitable for all mobile applications which resulted in lower customer satisfaction. In addition to that, the absence of a valid business model to motivate investors hindered its deployment on production scale. This dissertation proposes a new mobile cloud architecture which positions the mobile operator at the core of this technology equipped with a revenue-making business model. This architecture, named OCMCA (Operator Centric Mobile Cloud Architecture), connects the user from one side and the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) from the other and hosts a cloud within its network. The OCMCA/user connection can utilize multicast channels leading to a much cheaper service for the users and more revenues, lower congestion and rejection rates for the operator.

高效安全的移动云网络

移动云计算是“下一代网络”这一称号的非常有力的候选者，它可以为移动用户提供扩展的移动性，服务连续性和卓越的性能。用户可以期望以更低的电池消耗和可承受的价格更快地执行工作；然而，这并非总是如此。为了利用这种新技术，已经开发了各种移动应用程序，但是每种应用程序都有其自己的要求。已经提出了几种移动云架构，但没有一种适用于所有移动应用程序，从而降低了客户满意度。除此之外，由于缺乏有效的商业模式来激励投资者，阻碍了其在生产规模上的部署。本文提出了一种新的移动云架构，该架构将移动运营商定位于该技术的核心，并具有创收业务模型。这种名为OCMCA（以运营商为中心的移动云架构）的体系结构将一侧的用户与另一侧的云服务提供商（CSP）连接起来，并在其网络内托管一个云。OCMCA /用户连接可以利用多播信道，从而为用户提供便宜得多的服务，并为运营商带来更多的收入，更低的拥塞和拒绝率。
