Introduction to Emotion -Aware Mobile Cloud Computing in 5G Network

The development of 5G technology has lead the wireless world to be interconnected without any barriers. This new technology is aiming to achieve many challenging applications and more  interactive and personalized services are expected to be available with resource-intensive mobile terminal. The mobile cloud computing (MCC) emerging in the context of 5G networks has the capability to overcome this bottleneck, which enables the resource-intensive services for mobile users with the support of mobile cloud assisted computing and big data analysis and delivery. In this article, a novel framework named EMC in the context of 5G networks, which offers human- centric emotion-aware services by mobile cloud computing and affective computing is proposed. With the proposed framework, the traditional MCC architecture is modified to achieve the required Quality of Experience (QoE) in emotion-aware applications. Furthermore, we design a partitioning solution corresponding to the fundamental trade- off between the communication and computation  in EMC. The framework would be helpful to provide human centric, personalized and intelligent emotion-aware applications in 5G networks.
