Some of the characteristics of mobile cloud computing are:

1) Scalability  2) Reliability  3) Security  4) Reduced cost  5) Reduced Maintenance

Mobile Cloud Computing  architecture is as follows:

Applications of Mobile Cloud Computing are:

1) improves reliability

2) security

3) Processing speed  and data storage capacity increases

4) It also helps in increasing battery life of mobile devices

5) improves availability
