ViSP: A Cloud-based Virtual Smartphone Platform

摘要

Smartphones have become increasingly ubiquitous in our daily life. However, mobile devices are less powerful than traditional devices like desktops and laptops. And the hardware resources of each mobile device also vary widely which leading to different user experiences of smartphone users. This paper proposes ViSP, a cloud-based virtual smartphone platform. By leveraging virtualization technology, we provide virtual smartphones, which are deployed in the cloud. Users can use apps remotely on the virtual smartphones, ignoring the limits of physical devices. Experiments show that the bandwidth cost is about 100kBps in average using zlib encoding, which is suitable and reasonable in 4G network.
