Mobile computing technology helps individuals
to access data and information from anywhere through a
variety of devices. The popularity of smartphones and tablet
devices are growing immensely day by day. With this
explosive growth in demand of mobile phone users, brings
along various challenges. Cloud computing has gained
significant attention in last few years and can be thought of
as a total solution that delivers IT as a service. Cloud
computing has been integrated with various fields in
computing. One of them is Mobile computing and after
integration it is called Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC).
Some of the challenges of mobile devices like limited
memory, processing power, battery life, etc. are resolved
through MCC. Large volume of data over the cloud needs
special processing which can’t be handled with traditional
ways, thus giving rise to the word Big Data. Big Data and
cloud computing are paired with a primary focus on
achieving solutions to various challenges of mobile
technology. This paper presents how mobile cloud
computing is gaining edge through Big Data and what are
futuristic scope of Big Data and mobile cloud computing.

With increase data network traffic over internet due to
large amount of mobile computing devices, cloud
computing along with Big Data provides solution to many
challenges such as increasing computational power,
increased battery life, more data storage, etc. This paper
provides a prescriptive roadmap in understanding Big
Data in the cloud and how both these concepts are used in
mobile computing. It highlights key considerations about
Mobile cloud computing and Big data relationship.
