Mobile Cloud Computing is the brain child of cloud computing and mobile computing.Mobile Cloud Computing is a cutting edge technology in the concept of computing. There are lot of paybacks of this emerging technology such as scalability, data sharing, resource sharing, computational offloading, and quick response time.In MCC, data are stored in the distributed environment. So accessing the stored data will increase lot of computations and network traffic. This will lead to the congestion and network imbalance. In the MCC, load balancing is one of the challenging issue to keep track of multiple resources with dynamic workload. So many load balancing algorithms have been introduced to balance the dynamic load among the multiple nodes in the distributed environment. Load balancing facilitates to achieve the optimum utilization of resources by balancing the network load. Hence, it augments the performance of overall network performance. There are few static and dynamic load balancing algorithms are proposed to achieve good balancing among the network nodes. It is vital to achieve good balancing with significant resource utilization. This paper is aimed to discuss some of the load balancing algorithms for MCC.
