Integration of mobile devices into a service‐oriented system involves the consideration of architectural design principles and trade‐offs among interdependent design decisions to cope with limitations of mobile devices in terms of resources available within a device and aspects of network connectivity. Mobile devices consume some services and provide others. A reference architecture (RA) that provides solutions, baseline and future insights is the priority in designing efficient mobile service oriented architecture (SOA). This paper discusses nuances of the concept of RA. The paper presents a survey of 26 mobile SOA patterns and proposes mobile SOA RA that extends Open Group SOA RA based on the catalogue of mobile SOA patterns proposed in this paper. Evaluations are made and discussed for both RA and its possible instantiation.
