Abstract: Providing data services support for large file upload and download is increasingly vital for mobile cloud storage. There is an increase in mobile users whose data access trends show more access and large file sharing. It is a challenging task for Mobile Application Developers to handle upload and retrieve large files to/from a mobile app because of difficulties with latency, bandwidth, speed, errors, and disruptions to service in a wireless mobile environment. Some scenarios require these large files to be used offline, sometimes to be updated by a single user, and sometimes be shared among all other users. The Wireless mobile environment must consider mobile user’s constraints, such as frequent disconnections and low bandwidth, which affect the ability to handle data and transactions management. The primary objective of this study is to propose a cloud-based Mobile Sync service (sometimes referred as Mobile backend as a Service) with OpenStack Swift object storage to manage large objects efficiently using two main techniques of segmentation and object chunking with compression in a mobile cloud environment. This work further contributed to a prototype implementation of the proposed framework and provides Application Programming Interface (API) consisting of Create, Read, and Delete queries and chunking operations and a lightweight sync protocol that can manage large file synchronization and access. The experimental findings with object-chunking tested size settings show that the proposed Mobile Sync framework can accommodate large files ranging from 100MB to 1GB and provides a decrease in upload/download synchronization times of 63.203% / 92.987%percent as compared to other frameworks.

Keywords: Mobile cloud computing; mobile backend as a service; large files; distributed systems
