With the rapid development of mobile cloud computing (MCC), the computational offloading
in MCC arises. This paper focuses on the computational offloading topic in MCC. It analyzes
the existing research, discusses computational offloading decisions, gives a simple
comparison of computational offloading framework, and reviews the data offloading in the
big data environment. Finally, the issues and challenges on the computational offloading in
MCC are examined.

Modern day mobile applications are resource intensive in nature. Even though being rich in
terms of processing, battery, and storage capabilities, these latest mobile computing devices
scare in these capabilities. Mobile cloud computing provides a solution to resources like
processing, storage and battery restriction by a solution named computational offloading.
Major computation tasks in applications like artificial intelligence, image recognition,
gaming, face recognition, etc. can be offloaded from the computing device like mobile/tablets …
