Introduction
What is Mobile Computing ?

• “Mobile Computing is a technology that provides an


environment that enables users to transmit data from one
device to another device without the use of any physical link
or cables.”

• Mobile Computing Concepts could be divided into three


parts
1.Mobile Hardware (CPU, sensors, memory, etc.)
2.Mobile Software
3.Mobile/Wireless Communication
What is Mobile Challenges
• Limited processing power: Handsets have a very limited
processing power and Memory (usually used as a front-end
applications while all the processing is done on a powerful
server).

• Security Standards: When working mobile, one is dependent


on public networks, requiring careful use of Virtual Private
Network (VPN). Security is a major concern while concerning
the mobile computing standards on the leet.

• Insuf icient Bandwidth: Mobile Internet access is generally


slower than direct cable connections, using technologies such
as GPRS and EDGE, and more recently 3G and 4G networks.

What is Mobile Challenges … cont
• Potential health hazards: People who use mobile devices while
driving are often distracted from driving are thus assumed more
likely to be involved in traf ic accidents.

• Power consumption: When a power outlet or portable generator is


not available, mobile computers must rely entirely on battery power.

• Mobile computing should also look into Greener IT , in such a


way that it saves the power or increases the battery life.

• Transmission interferences: Weather, terrain, and the range from


the nearest signal point can all interfere with signal reception.

• Human interface with device: Screens and keyboards tend to be


small, which may make them hard to use.

Wireless Communication

• Radio transmission was discovered by Marconin


1895. Since that time more sophisticated
technologies are proposed to humanity including

• Radio
• TV
• Wireless LAN and Wireless based internet
• Cellular phones (mobile phones)
Cell Phone System

• It is based on radio frequency communication.


• Cellular communication system divides the service are into a number of
geographic zones called “Cells”

• Each cell has a base station that communicates with all handsets in its
coverage area with a maximum number of simultaneous user connections

• Each cellular has its own radio transmitter and receiver antenna to
connect to the cell base station

• Base station connects is connected to switching center


• As cellular moves between cells, his call gets handed off to the next cell
base station by the switching center
Types of Telecommunication Networks
• Voice Networks
• Analog traf ic is modulated on a carrier signal
• eg. Traditional telephone network
• Digital Data could be transmitted on a voice network by using a modem (DtoA)
• PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Networks) relies on circuit switching
• Data Networks
• Data signals also modulated on an analog carries signal
• Term Data refers to any information as Text, Video , images
• It uses Store and Forward packet switching mechanism
• Ef icient use of transmission medium
• More time and delay may occur as every switch inspects the packet to determine
the packet destination (propagation delay and commutative delay)
• What is Voice problems ???
