Abstract
The growing demand of mobile wireless internet access has prompted rapid growth of wireless data services. The key issue of wireless cloud is to provide complex services by using the available resources within reasonable cost. Accompanying the emergence of integrated wireless and mobile networks (e.g. WLAN, 3G/4G net), it makes a challenge of networks as service to supporting the complete lifecycle of service building and delivery via wireless cloud providers. This paper proposes an agent-based scheme to discover comprehensive service, select and allocate resources for supporting the cloud applications in wireless platforms with respect to efficiency and fairness of resource utilization. This paper presents an optimization resource selection strategy with selection and allocation of network resources based on the agent-based scheme in enabling Quality of Service (QoS) in wireless cloud environment. © 2010 IEEE.
