The document discusses the challenges of energy-efficient and fault-tolerant data storage and processing in mobile cloud environments, highlighting the limitations of mobile devices in executing resource-intensive applications. It proposes a k-out-of-n computing framework that addresses these issues by allowing mobile devices to retrieve or process data reliably as long as a certain number of servers are accessible. The feasibility of the proposed solution is validated through real system implementation and extensive simulations, demonstrating improved energy efficiency in dynamic networks.
