Abstract : The popularity of mobile devices has been growing at a very fast rate and it is evident from the fact that it is possessed by almost each and every person and some may have even more than a single mobile device. MCC helps in computation and running of various complex applications on the mobile device and also offloads to the cloud when it requires lot of resources for computation or storage purposes. However, as energy is limited in the mobile device, processing of complex applications using big data is a challenge that needs to be addressed using energy efficient architectures. In this work, we mainly focuses on identifying energy-aware issues for handling big data in Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) environment and their current solutions. Also, we have included the review of few techniques available to handle big data in mobile devices. This chapter will also include a brief discussion of techniques available to process big data in MCC in an energy efficient manner. Finally, we conclude with an analysis of identified issues for handling big data in MCC and future scope of research.
