  Cloud radio access networks (C-RAN) and Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) have
emerged as promising candidates for the next generation access network
techniques. MCC enables resource limited mobile devices to offload
computationally intensive tasks to the cloud, while C-RAN offers a technology
that addresses the increasing mobile traffic. In this paper, we propose a
protocol for task offloading and for managing resources in both C-RAN and
mobile cloud together using a centralised controller. Experiments on resource
management using cloud auto-scaling shows that resource (CPU, RAM, Storage)
scaling times vary.
