What is it about?

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new technology that is growing rapidly in the field of telecommunications and especially in the modern field of wireless telecommunications. The main goal of the interaction and cooperation between things and objects sent through the wireless networks is to fulfill the objective set to them as a combined entity. In addition, based on the technology of wireless networks, both the technologies of Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) and IoT develop rapidly. In this paper, we combine the two aforementioned technologies (i.e., MCC and IoT) with the technology of the Big Data in order to examine the common features and tο discover which of the MCC and IoT benefits improve the use of the Big Data applications. Finally, we present the contribution of MCC and IoT individually to the technology of Big Data.

Why is it important?

The exploration of the contribution provided by IoT features and by Mobile Cloud Computing features in dealing with the basic characteristics of the Big Data applications is shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectively. However, based on these two tables, we can observe that the IoT mostly contributes to the field of network partitioning and unified Ethernet fabrics of Big Data applications. The Mobile Cloud Computing technology mostly contributes to the field of Predictable and efficient, holistic network, and network partitioning of BIG DATA applications.

Perspectives

I can infer from the information, which can be observed in Tables 1 and 2, that the technologies of IoT and Mobile Cloud Computing possess features that could be beneficial for the use of Big Data applications. As for future research, I suggest that the use of the Big Data applications is combined with the technologies of IoT and Mobile Cloud Computing in order to achieve better results. Also, as a continuation of this research, I will further examine the features of Big Data applications, which could be improved from the contribution of the technologies of Mobile Cloud Computing and IoT.
