Despite increasing usage of mobile computing, exploiting its full potential is difficult due to problems such as resource sparseness. In this paper, we explore the feasibility of a mobile cloud computing framework to use local resources to solve these problems. The framework aims to determine a priori the usefulness of sharing workload at runtime. The results of experiments conducted in Bluetooth transmission and an initial prototype are also presented. Furthermore, we discuss a preliminary
