AB  - The advancement of cloud computing and spontaneous development of mobile applications forms the basis for Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) as an emerging technology for mobile services. Even with the massive usage of mobile computing, utilizing it potentially is a challenge due to frequent disconnections, security, mobility and resource scarcity such as battery life, storage and bandwidth. The major limitations for MCC are bandwidth and energy. This study gives a survey of mobile cloud computing research with energy efficiency and also picturize an overview of various cost models including the scheme of classification based on the major issues and describes various approaches to overcome these issues. Energy-cost constructs usually form a tradeoff in mobile cloud computing scenario. The offloading methods and the analysis of mobilecloudlet- cloud experiment with the results are presented in this study. This study gives significant challenges in mobile cloud computing that are not yet fully solved and emphasizes on the future direction of research.
