Abstract:
Terminal virtualization focuses on applying Information Technology (IT) virtualization technology to the terminals, and realizes the full or parts of terminal functions extension or migration to other devices on the network, such as resource reducing, information sharing, data synchronization, etc. It is becoming increasingly clear that more and more features of terminal virtualization and mobile computing on the edge will be used in practice. However, some issues are raised with terminal virtualization, such as security, privacy, Quality of Service (QoS), efficient transmission, computation/functions offloading management, etc. In this paper, after analyzing above issues, a mobile terminal virtualization framework is proposed to solve them. Then the implementation methods of the proposed framework modules are presented in detail, which are based on popular the terminal Operating System (OS) and some current technologies. This framework provides a better transparent experience to users from free handover on network to unified sensors usage.
