Kinds of antennas: directional &
sectored
• Energy is radiated in definite directions, for instance xDirection
• So called main propagation directions, for instance
Satellite Antennas
• Often also used in Mobile Radio Systems, such as GSM,
for creation of sectored cells
• Seamless radio supply via partial/overlay of sectors

Media Access Methods
22
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
Principles
• Multiplex
– Multiple-shift usage of the medium without interference
– 4 multiplex methods:
• Space
• Time
• Frequency
• Code
• Media Access Methods
– controls user access to medium
23
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
SDMA (Space Division Multiple
Access)
• based on SDM (Space Division Multiplexing, Space Multiplex)
• communication channel obtains definite Space for definite Time on
the definite Frequency with definite Code
• Space Multiplex for instance in the Analog Phone Systems (for each
participant one line) and for Broadcasting Stations
• Problem: secure distance (interferences) between transmitting
stations is required (using one frequency) and by pure Space
Multiplex each communication channel would require an own
transmitting station
• Space Multiplex is only reasonable in combination with other
multiplex methods
• SDMA for instance by base station dedication to an end-device via
Media Access Methods or respectively by segmentation of a Mobile
Radio Network to several areas

FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple
Access)
• Based on FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing, Frequency

• i.e. to transmission channels several frequencies are permanently
assigned, for instance radio transmitting stations

TDMA (Time Division Multiple
Access)
• Based on TDM (Time Division Multiplexing, Time Multiplex)
• i.e. to transmission channels is the transmission medium is slot
assigned for certain time, is often used in LANs
• Synchronization (timing, static or dynamic) between transmitting and
receiving stations is required

CDMA (Code Division Multiple
Access)
• based on CDM (Code Division Multiplexing, Code multiplex)
• i.e. to transmission channels the definite Code is assigned, this can
be on the same Frequency for the same Time transmitted
• derivates from military area
• via development of cost-efficient VLSI components
• via spread spectrum techniques a good communication security and
tiny fault sensitivity
• but: exact synchronization is required, code of transmitting station
must be known to receiving station, complex receivers for signal
separation are required
• Noise should not be very high

Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
CDMA illustrated by example
The Principle of CDMA can be good illustrated by the example of
some party:
• communication partners stand closely to each other, each
transmission station (Sender) is only so loud, that it does not
interfere to neighbored groups
• transmission stations (Senders) use certain Codes (for
instance, just other languages), they can be just separately
received by other transmission stations
• receiving station (Listener) attunes to this language (Code), all
other Senders are realizing this only as background noise
• if receiving station (Listener) cannot understand this language
(Code), then it can just receive the data, but it cannot do
anything with them
• if two communication partners would like to have some secure
communication line, then they should simply use a secret
language (Code)
• Potential Problems:
– security distance is too tiny: interferences (i.e. Polish und
Czech)
31
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
CDMA-Example in the theory
Sender A
• Sends Ad =1, Key Ak = 010011 (set: „0“= -1, „1“= +1)
• Transmit signal As =Ad *Ak = (-1, +1, -1, -1, +1, +1)
Sender B
• sends Bd =0, Key Bk = 110101 (set: „0“= -1, „1“= +1)
• Transmit signal Bs =Bd *Bk = (-1, -1, +1, -1, +1, -1)
Both signals superpose additively in air
• Faults are ignored here (noises etc.)
• C = As+ Bs =(-2,0,0,-2,+2,0)
Receiver will listen to Sender A
• uses Key Ak bitwise (internal product)
– Ae = C * Ak =2 +0+0 +2 +2+0 = 6
– Result is greater than 0, so sent bit was „1“
• analog B
– Be = C * Bk =-2 +0 +0 -2 -2 +0 = -6, also „0“
32

Spread Spectrum Techniques

f
• Signal is spread by the Sender before the transmission (overblown)
• dP/df value corresponds with so called Power Density, Energy is
constant (in the Figure: the filled areas)
Objective:
• Increase of robustness against small band-width faults
• listening security: power density of spread-spectrum signals can be
lower than that of background noise

Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
Broadcast/multicast networks
• several carrier frequencies but participant obtains carrier
for short time only
• often in use by taxi- und logistics enterprises etc., each
own separated frequency reaches
• can use the same frequency packs with FDM- and TDMtechniques, i.e. more efficient handling with narrow
resource frequency spectrum
• improves transition to fixed network, speech- and data
services
• not for public access
• very reliable, cost-efficient
40
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked
Radio)
• former name: Trans-European Trunked Radio
• frequencies: 380-390, 410-420 MHz Uplink; 390-400, 420-430 MHz
Downlink
• bandwidth of each channel: 25 kHz
• 1991 started by ETSI
• replace of national networks like MODACOM, MOBITEX or
COGNITO
• Services:
– Voice + Data (V+D)- Service: Speech and Data, channel-oriented, uni-,
multi- and broadcast possible
– Packet Data Optimized (PDO)- Service: packet-oriented, improves
connection-oriented or connectionless service, as well as point-to-point
and point-to-multipoint communication
• carrier services with data rate up to 28,8 kbit/s unprotected; 9,6
kbit/s - protected

TETRA, advantages compared with
GSM, UMTS
• confirmed and/or non-confirmed Group Call (however it’s already
possible with GSM today: up to 16 participants)
• Group call
• listening is possible (so called “open-channel mode”)
• very reliable
• fast dialing: approx. 300 ms (so called “push to talk”), GSM: several
seconds
• certain independence of infrastructure (so called “direct mode”
between end-devices)
• cost-efficient, especially for limited user quantity, because of the
„large“ cells x • 10 km
• also especially suitable for emergency teams (fire department,
ambulance etc.)

assigned. Meaning must be agreed. Receiving stations are at a size of a
cigarette packet
– 85 senders in the 87 MHz-reach (ultra short waves)
– called person location must be approximately known: 3 area codes: North
0509, Middle 0279, South 0709
Cityruf (city call)
– additionally to 4 audio- or respectively optical signals transmission of short
numerical (15 digitals) or alpha-numerical messages (80 characters) exists
optionally, receiving station is smaller than with Eurosignal

of the connection
– Non-efficient for burst-like traffic (Internet) or Flat Rate billing
(Logistics)
– no international acceptance (Roaming!)
• uses also more resources on the radio interface
– problems with handover into a new cell

• QoS profile agrees service parameters inside the whole network
• Agreed for the duration of one PDP (Packet Data Protocol)
context (session, end terminal is obtainable for the duration of
the context, e.g. obtainable over Internet ) :
– temporary address (IP) for mobile station
– tunneling information, among others GGSN, which is used for
access to corresponding packet arranged network
– type of the connection
– QoS profile
• QoS profile commits:
– precedence class, priority against other services (high, normal, low)
– packet delay class, times are valid for traffic inside the GPRSnetwork
– reliability class
– peak throughput class
– mean throughput class

Assessment of GPRS
+ An up to 4 times higher data rate in comparison to ordinary GSMdata services
+ better resource management through packet arranged service
+ „always on” data service (email, etc.)
+ GPRS is a more suitable carrier for services like WAP
- IP-derivate, no true guaranties (QoS)
- development of the network infrastructure is relatively expensive,
particularly regarding introduction to UMTS (return of investment)
- GPRS doesn’t give such data rates like advertising has sometimes
promised

802.11x gained the mass market
– well-elaborated 802.11x (x = a, b,
c, d, e, f, g, h, i, WPA)
− disadvantage:
– existing bandwidth problems (at
most up to 54 Mbit/s)
– reach at most up to 100m without
directional antennas
– covers approx. 50km (30 miles)
– substitution via 802.16 as access

Wireless ATM
Requirements:
• wireless connection of mobile terminals to ATM-networks
• compatibility to existing standards
• existing networks should be easily upgradeable
• guaranteed service quality properties which other wireless nets don't
offer
• UMTS and WLANs don‘t offer any data rates >50 Mbit/s
Problems:
• ATM is conceived for high data rates
• ATM is optimized on reliable media
• applications should notice nothing of the wireless mode
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
Wireless ATM: review
• WATM still is standardization endeavors, no definite standards
approved
• the WATM forum has tried to standardize as much as possible,
the WATM standard is relatively complex
• WATM supports relatively many configurations:
– wireless Ad-hoc networks
– wireless mobile end-devices: access to the network via radio
subsystem, similar to access-points
– mobile end-devices: seamless handover between connected
terminals
– mobile ATM-Switches (for planes, ships, trains etc.)
– fixed ATM-terminals: conventional ATM
– fixed terminals with radio access: comparable with line-of-sight
radio links
• It is not arranged completely for which configuration also

Constant position to the Earth, 3 satellites cover complete earth (with
the exception of the polar caps), satellites move synchronously to the
Earth
Simple solution, however large distance (36000 km), therefore high
signal propagation delay, long life time of the satellites: ~ 15 years
low data rates, large transmission power required
problems:
– on the other side of the 60th degree of latitude reception problems
(elevation)
– because of a high transmission power unfavorable for mobile telephones
– signal propagation delay too high (0.25 s)
182
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
LEO- Systems
• non-stationary satellites (LEO - Low Earth Orbit)
• distance to the earth ~ 500 - 2000 km
• shorter signal runtimes (5-10 ms), lower transmission power of
the mobile stations sufficing
• however more satellites necessary, frequent handover between
satellites, approximately all 10 min.
• examples: Teledesic, Globalstar
• only low transmission power necessary, suitable for mobile
phone networks
• Disadvantages:
– large number is necessary (50 - 200, or more)
– fast handovers within satellites are necessary
– short life time of the satellites because of atmospheric friction (5-8
years)
183
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
MEO- Systems
• ~ 10000km, lower number of satellites necessary : ~12
• slow movement: handover between satellites is hardly

areas
• Problems:
– signal propagation delay: 70 to 80 ms
– higher transmission power is necessary

Overview
• 24 satellites on the 6 orbits (20200 km, time of circulation =
12h)
• 5 earth stations (Hawaii, Ascension Island, Diego Garcia,
Kwajalein, Colorado Springs)
• Accuracy:
– so called P-Code for military applications: on ~6m accurately,
partially 2,8m
– so called Selective Availability Mode, SAM (artificial degradation)
for civil applications: < 100m (1.5.2000 disestablished)
• Functionality principle: Triangulation
• GPS-receiver calculates distance to the satellite on the base of
Time of Arrival of the received signals
• distances to at least three satellites enables the calculation of
position, a fourth satellite can be used for determination of
elevation over zero
• official initiation 1995, testing since 1978

Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
Principles
• satellites send a signal composed of three components 50 times per
second:
– identification component: PRC (Pseudo Random Code), provides
satellite recognition and status information
– position component: exact position of satellite
– time component: time point, when signal is transmitted
• the time offset measured by the receiver is corresponding to the
Time of Arrival, from TOA the distance is calculated
• for measurement of TOA of signals very accurate clocks are
required
• the exact position of the satellites must be known
191
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
Sources of errors
Clocks
• highly accurate atom clocks in the satellites
• simple clocks in the receivers are calibrated via measurement of
a fourth satellite
Satellite position
• satellite orbits are relatively stable and forecastable
• deviations are measured by US DoD
• deviations are transmitted as correction factor to the satellites
using the PRC
Miscellaneous error sources
• atmospheric faults
• multi-path propagation
192
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
Differential GPS, DGPS
• use of a stationary receiver as reference
• position of this receiver is exactly known
• the stationary receiver carries out position determination
and calculates correction factor from the actually
obtained position on the base of deviations
• correction factor is delivered to the mobile receiver
193

DGPS accuracy grades
• Accuracy under 10cm:
– professional applications, for instance is interesting in
meterology and respectively for user of wellengineered software decisions (machine control
systems etc.)

• Audio-transmission in CD-Quality
• Non-sensible towards interferences of multi-path-propagation
• Use of SFN (Single Frequency Network) – i.e. all senders of
some broadcast-program are working on the same frequency as
a rule
• Frequencies: UHF,VHF, for instance: 174-230 MHz, 1452-1492
MHz
• Modulation methods: DQPSK (Differential Quadrature Phase
Shift Keying)
• Optionally COFDM (Coded Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing) is used with several carrier frequencies inside
some DAB-channel (its quantity is between 192 and 1536),
1,5MHz bandwidth for each channel
• FEC (Forward Error Correction)-mechanism for fault correction
• Up to 6 stereo-programs by 192 kbit/s in the same frequency
band are transmittable
• alternatively data can be transmitted with up to 1,5 Mbit/s
(responding to the used code rate etc.)

• IP-source/target address of external/outer IP-Header defines the
“end- points” of the tunnel
• IP-source/target address of internal IP-Header represents the actual
packet sender respectively receiver
• Internal IP-Header isn't changed using “Encapsulator” (exception:
TTL)
220
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
221
Routing (unicast)
• Mobile Node:
– in Home Network it operates like each other Node
– in Foreign Network it must search a Default Router using the
following rules:
• FA COA:
– ICMP Router Advertisement-Part;
– IP-source address of Agent Advertisements (lower Prior.)
• co-located COA: ICMP Router Advertisement for this address
• Foreign Agent:
– FA must check by reception of tunneled packets whether
internal target address corresponds with one of the IP-addresses
of Visitor List
– FA must route the received packets of registered
MN’s!
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
Routing (unicast) II
• Home Agent:
– HA must intercept each packet for absent MN
– in addition IP-target address of each incoming
packets is verified
– if MN has no mobile coupling presently, the packets
sent to it must not be intercepted, MN is situated in
Home Subnet and accepts packets itself or is off-line
222
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
223
Routing (necessities)
• ARP (Address Resolution Protocol):
– oriented to resolution of IP-addresses in physical (Hardware, Link
Layer) addresses (Ethernet: MAC-addresses of controllers)
• Proxy ARP:
– Proxy ARP-reply is an ARP-reply, which can be sent instead of a host A
by other host B (with its hardware address)
– Hosts, receiving this reply, associate the hardware-address of node B
with the IP-address of node A and send future packets for A to B
• Gratuitous ARP:
– is an ARP-reply, which is sent from a host, to force other hosts to update
the records in their ARP-Caches
– this ARP-reply contains the IP-address, which should be changed in the
ARP- Caches, as well as the hardware address which should be
updated
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
Routing - Scenario
• MN leaves Home Network
• MN decides to register FA Care-of Address
• Before Registration Request: MN re-sets a reaction on
future ARP-requests
• Registration Request
• contains and accepts HA Request, implements
Gratuitous ARP (IP-address MN ===> own hardwareaddress) and uses Proxy ARP to respond to ARPrequests corresponding to MN hardware address

although CN is in the same
Subnet like MN, packets are
routed respectively tunneled via
FA and primarily HA (possibly
over half of terrestrial globe)!!!
MN ===> CN:
Be routed conventionally via
Default Router
Special case: Routing (MN & CN are in the same Subnet)
Relief (IPv4): Route Optimization
225
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
Optimizations: Routing
Terms:
• Binding Cache: table with Mobility Bindings of
MNs (on CN, can tunnel itself now)
• Binding Update: message, contains up-to-date
Mobility Binding of a MN, particularly the Care-of
Address
Procedure:
• Update of Binding Caches
• Control seamless Handoffs between FA‘s
226
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
227
Updating of Binding Caches
• Binding Cache of a CN: Care-of Address of one/several
MN‘s, with respective Lifetime
• No Entry: non-optimal Routing, BUT: HA doesn’t only
tunnel a datagram from CN, but also sends a Binding
Update to it
• CN should generate/change Binding Cache-Entry only
then, when trusted Mobility Binding received (Bind. Upd.)
for corresponding MN (ergo: Secure CN <===> HA)
• If FA receives tunneled Packet for a MN that is no longer
in Visitor List, then it must care that corresponding CN
receives a Binding Update (Binding Warning to HA)
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
228
Smooth Handoff between FAs
• Problem of Basis-MobileIP: MN is with a new FA, but the packets
tunneled to old FA will be lost
• FA Smooth Handoff: MNs are informed via new FA (packet can be
forwarded)
• also Packets of hosts with non-up-to-date entries in Binding Cache
can be forwarded now from old FA to the new FAs
• Previous Foreign Agent Notification Extension enables to prompt the
new FA to inform the old FA (Binding Update Message)
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
MobileIP v4 & v6 in comparison
Mobile IPv4
Routing
Bottle neck
Security
Mobile IPv6
Optimal Routing, only if MN
in the Home Network. (Otherwise
non-efficient „Triangle“-Routing)
Optimal Routing is generally
possible,
if CN knows the Care-of Address
HA is a possible bottleneck,
because all traffic
to the MN is processed over it
HA is load essentially reduced,
because CN‘s can just directly
communicate with mit MN‘s
Authentication is prescribed
only by Registration and then also
between HA and MN only
Authentication and encryption are
possible anywhere, because
they are supported from IPv6
Robustness
Used FA‘s / HA‘s must not be
off-line
Performance
No good performance
due to IPv4-requirements
and non-optimal Routing
Short-time failure/re-configuration of
HA is mastered thanks to
Automatic Home Agent Discovery.
IPv6 is essentially simpler to
upgrade, therewith also Mobile IPv6
Essentially better due to
requirements from IPv6
(uniform Headers, less Overheads) and optimal Routing
229
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
Assessment
• Mobile IP enables the unlimited accessibility/roaming of
mobile computers using perpetuation of their addresses
and step-less transfer between subnets
• Particularly necessary for applications without “pull”semantics (for instance, distributed applications with
mobile users, videoconferences, VoIP)
• Keeping of permanent addresses are also important
corresponding to Firewalls etc. in the case of call
semantics
• Successive availability in the form of products

IPsec: Network security
233
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
IPsec: Security on the network
layer (1)
• IPsec - IP Security Protocol – new developed protocol
from TCP/IP-Stack, related to the IPng - Group
• IPsec uses:
– encryption services -> DES, TripleDES and 40-bit-DES between
hosts at a VPN (virtual private network)
– specification for Internet Key Management Protocol (IKMP),
based on ISAKMP/Oakley (1998, Internet Security Association
and Key Management Protocol - ISAKMP)
• IPSec-tunnels – encapsulation of TCP/IP-data via the
ESP/AH- headers:
– Developed by S.Kent, R. Atkinson „IP Encapsulating Security
Payload" (RFC 2406, 1998) and "IP Authentication Header"
(RFC 2402, 1998)
– relevant for key assignment to IP-subnets
234
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
IPsec: Security on the network
layer (2)
•
Secrecy on the network layer: a sending host encrypts/authenticates data
encapsulated in the IP-datagrams
– TCP/UDP-segments
– ICMP/SNMP-messages
•
Authentication on the network layer:
– target host can authenticate source IP-addresses
•
Basic protocols:
– Authentication Header (AH) Protocol
– Encapsulation Security Payload (ESP) Protocol
•
AH and ESP both requires target and source Handshake-Routine:
– establishment of a logical channel via network layer, called Service Agreement
(SA)
– each SA is unidirectional
•
Distinctly determined via:
– security protocol (AH / ESP)
– source IP-address
– Con-ID of 32 Bit

Authentication Header (AH) Protocol
• offers host authentication and data integrity, but no secrecy
• AH headers inserted between IP-Header and IP-data field; protocol
field = 51
• participated routers process datagrams as usually
AH-Header consists of:
• Con-ID
• authentication data: signed message digest calculated via original
IP-Datagram, offers authentication of source hosts and data
integrity
• next header field is specific data type (TCP, UDP, ICMP etc.)

Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
Problems of conventional protocols
Problem:
• Loss of packets on the radio channels with higher biterror rate (BER) results in frequent retransmissions of
packets and therewith in further efficiency loss
• TCP-Protocol uses so called “Slow-Start”-mechanisms:
window size is reduced by significant packet losses; this
is reasonable for fixed networks, to react on overload,
but not for packet losses due to higher BER
• limited suitability of conventional transport protocols for
mobile communication!
239
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
Conventional protocols
Congestion Control:
• packet loss as a rule, in fixed networks occurs only by overload of several
components
• reducing of transmission rate
Slow Start:
• sender calculates a traffic window size
• start with window size 1
• exponential growth till to Congestion Threshold
• then linear growth
Fast Retransmit / Fast Recovery:
• If ≥ 3 DUPACK (duplicate ACK) are received
-> sender informs about packet losses and repeats missing packets
240
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
Resulting problems in mobile
environment
• packet losses due to transmission errors are
wrongly interpreted as traffic jam (Congestion)!
• > Slow Start is also wrong
• > Ideally the packets lost due to transmission
errors are simply repeated (no effects on
Congestion Control)
• great variances of Round-Trip-Time
241
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
Scenario
Access Point 1
Mobile Host
Access Point 2
Fixed Host
242
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
Solutions
Sender- transparent:
• to hide the packet losses transparent to the sender
• transmission repeat via Access Point
– on layer 2
– on TCP-layer
Wireless-aware sender:
• sender understands the reason of packet loss
• explicit notification of senders
• sender tries to determine the reason of loss
Where will be the modifications carried out?:
• only by the sender
• only by the receiver
• only on the transient node (Access Point)
• combinations
243
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
Solution “Split Connection“
244
– Separation between transport functionality in the fixed network
respectively in the mobile network:
Workstation
TCP
Fixed network
MSR
Mobile TCP

Mobile Support Router
TCP-Handover
by relocation of mobile

– MobileTCP is specially optimized (up to 100% of efficiency improvement
possible)
– system-internal TCP-Handovers are necessary, however transparent for
fixed computer (Workstation)

+
+
─
─
─
─
no changes in the fixed network
the errors in the wireless part aren’t propagated to the fixed network
both parts can be optimized independently
relatively simple: „wireless TCP“ concerns one Hop only
the properties of wireless networks (bit-error rate, delay time) are
known, therefore fast retransmissions are possible
loss of End-to-End-semantics
additional costs (computation time, storage place) concerning the
Access Point
high delay times with handover caused by buffering of data by
Access Point
IT-security mechanisms must be adapted
247
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
Example of Snoop
•
•
•
•
transparent extension of Access Point from sender’s viewpoint
Access Point listens to the traffic (snoops) and filters the ACKs
buffering of data, are sent to the mobile computer
after losses of packets in the wireless network a direct
retransmission takes place between Access Point and Mobile Host
• Access Points send NACK after packet losses of MH

Snoop Assessment
+

+
maintenance of End-to-End-semantics
modifications only at the TCP-Stack of Access Points
errors in the wireless part can be corrected locally
Soft State
+ no status transfer at new Access Point is necessary
+ change is possible, also if the new Access Point possesses no Snoop
• no complete transparency of wireless connection
• handling of NACK requires the modifications of MH
• IT-security: encryption can prevent an access to TCP-Header (most
of the up-to-date approaches use End-to-End-encryption!)

mobile radio, creation of new innovative
services
• standardized by WAP-Forum
(http://www.wapforum.org), initiated by
Ericsson, Nokia, Motorola
• specifies application environment and protocols
for mobile end-devices such as radio phones,

Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
Why WAP?
• Mobile radio networks and mobile phones
possess special properties and requirements
– Display: sizes and presented colors, numerical
keyboard, lower processor performance and
storage capacity ...
– Networks: low data rates, high delays and costs
• WAP offers the use of several carriers
– TCP/IP, UDP/IP, USSD, SMS, ...
USSD - unstructured supplementary service data (GSM)
SMS - short message service (GSM)
253
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
Why WAP ?
•
•
•
•
WAP-architecture has a modular organization
the modules build together a complete Internet-protocol-stack
WML-contents can be queried by HTTP-request-messages
WAP uses XML (eXtensible Markup Language)-Standard as
well as optimized contents and protocols
• user interface of conventional end-devices is supported by
WML-components
– enhances acceptance by users
• WAP uses conventional HTTP-Servers
– existing development strategies are applicable in the
future (common gateway interface - CGI, active server
pages - ASP, netscape server API - NSAPI...)

• software-package consists of Directory Server (Dir-X-Metahub) and
several Clients, is completely LDAP v3 compatible, based on X.500
• 2 Gateways outwards: Dir-X-Web and Dir-X-wap
• secure access also via WAP available, because all security
properties of Directory-Servers are handed-on to mobile user
• registration via phone number and password, the
authorizations/licenses are deposited within the system in user

WAP-result
•
•
•
•
•
•
WML doesn’t bring whole Internet’s diversity to a mobile phone
there are no satisfactory rate models at the moment; the data-rates are
too low even with GPRS
limited input and selection possibilities require a reconsidering of
interaction semantics, WAP isn’t oriented for many applications, for
instance catalogs with a large selection -> PDAs, appliances, voice
input and -recognition
with introduction of data services with higher data-rates WAP could lose
its relevance possibly -> XHTML
however WAP means a first step towards independence from PC by
access to Internet contents -> multi-dimensional distribution channels
for information
WAP means the start for creation of a formidable user population
(potentially all mobile radio participants)!
306
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
WAP-Improvements: WAP2.0 (1)
• New version
– Internet-based data services on mobile phones
– approved by WAP Forum mid-2001
– oriented to GPRS and 3G cellular/UMTS
• Useful services at WAP2.0 devices
– color graphics and Pictograms
– location-specific content, navigational functions and user-friendly
menus
– animation representations and streaming media
– Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS)
– large-file downloading (music)
– synchronization of user information with personal information
manager software on a desktop PC in a remote location

307
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
WAP-Improvements: WAP2.0 (2)
• WAP 2.0 builds upon the latest Internet standards:
– XHTML, TCP/IP, HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP/1.1) and
Transport Layer Security (TLS)
– uses mostly TCP as transport
– optimized for small low-performance end-devices
• WAP 2.0 supports additionally:
– Wireless Telephony Application (WTA), Push, and User Agent
Profile (UAPROF) utilize more advanced features in WAP 2.0
than in WAP1.x
308
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
WAP-Improvements: WAP2.0 (3)
• Application development
– easier development of WAP applications
– More comfortable user environment
• Migration aspects
– WAP2.0 offers a migration to XHTML (Extensible Hypertext Markup
Language) and TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
– Supporting XHTML, WAP 2.0 reduces development costs, allowing
developers to write applications for both PC and WAP
• Security
– offers more secure due to “end-to-end encryption” (from the mobile
device to the server)
309
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
WAP2.0 and i-mode
• Competition & Fusion
– NTT DoCoMo's I-Mode is a serious
competitor of WAP2.0
– NTT DoCoMo's I-Mode moves in the direction
of support of XHTML and TCP, too
– I-mode and WAP2.0 will probably converge

– billing regarding data volumes and not regarding to
time
• simple page markup language – compact HTML
(cHTML)
• End of 2002: change into XHTML (WAP 2.0)
• a great success in Japan, because private computers
and private Internet access over fixed networks are
infrequent
• In Germany E-plus has started i-Mode on 16th march
2002
314
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
compact HTML
• cHTML or compact HTML is a language subset
of HTML
• very simplified HTML
• Lists, Forms, Selections, Input fields are
possible
• no Frames, no Tables, no CSS
• 166 additional pictograms, for instance

XML-Documents can have a DTD (Document Type Definition).
The DTD can be contained in the document or can be referenced by a link.
A DTD specifies, which tags are permitted and how these can be combined.
It has a special meaning for the processing of documents.
The processing programs can check XML- documents for structural errors
with the help of DTD.
If there is no error then a document is valid!
Well-formed documents contain no DTD- reference, but fulfill the XMLsyntax-rules.

Contents customization with
XML / XSLT
• Separation of content and presentation
• content client- independent in XML
• XSLT: XSL transformations: a XML- data format is changed into a
new data format (not necessarily XML), this new data format can
include platform dependent information about the presentation of
data besides the main information
• presentation client- dependent in some XSLTs
• XML-Support in many data bases
• the server itself needs additional logic

• XHTML – combining HTML and XML, and their
strengths
• XHTML is oriented to internet/PC and mobile
internet/ mobile phones and hand helds
• XHTML - compatibility
– everything has to be marked up correctly -> "wellformed" documents
– pages can be read by all XML enabled devices
– upgrading of XML supported browsers
– compatibility to all browsers
– backward browser compatible

The agent- model
• an agent-system consists of the agents themselves
and an execution engine for working with agents. The
execution engine offers basic services to the agents
• Agent is an independent program generally, it consists
of data, code and execution state, it works in interest and
order of a third party (e.g. user, application).

Mobile File Manager:
example CODA
• distributed file system, which offers the
unbreakable access to data also in the case of
server shut-down or net failure
• developed at the Carnegie Mellon University
• based on AFS (Andrew File System, distributed
file system in UNIX-environment)
• relatively transparent to the applications
392
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
CODA overview
• based on the model of „Disconnected Operations”
• client keeps Read- and Write-access on the data via
inset of a local buffer (Cache) also during temporary
disconnection from net
• with re-connection system forwards changes and
recognizes potential conflicts
• for different operating systems available (for instance
LINUX, Solaris, Windows)
393
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing

Replicated Server:
High availability
Net communication
at file open and close
Disconnected Client:

Client
(“Whole-File-Caching”)
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
395
properties of consistence (Coda)
• Callback
– logic reference from server to the active client, used for
immediate information about file changes via other client
• after connection failures the file in client cache remains
valid till to timeout termination (as a rule several minutes)
• thereby reduced consistency
• conflict processing explicitly in interactive form, however
low conflict probability
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
Conflict processing (CODA)
• extensive automation as objective purpose, however
isn’t possibly for:
– Update/Update-conflict: independent double update of the same
file
– Delete/Update-conflict: independent erasure respectively update
of the same file
– Name/Name-conflict: generating of two files with the same name
Manual access after user notification
396
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
Cache management (Coda)
• “Cache-Misses”: searched file isn’t in the ClientCache
– processing failure in the disconnected status
• priority list of important files per user
– the highest priority is always kept in the cache (for instance
by system programs, user profiles, address files etc.)
– other priorities: exchange strategies correspondent to
importance
– dynamic generated files via list of essential operations
referenced (for instance actual test protocol etc.)
397

File synchronization under Windows
- Windows: over System Control -> Management -> Services
so called „file replication (server)“ for synchronization of
data between different servers
- under Explorer -> Extras -> Synchronization:
- Synchronization of own Homepage with PC
- Synchronization of Sites in WWW
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing

Mobile databases support
Motivation:
• SFA-Sales-force-automation:
-> actual information about clients, competitors and market trends to
the field (outside-) workers
• emergent business transactions on the site -> efficiency increasing
Example:
Pharmaceutical Industry
• visit of 6 up to 8 distribution medics per day
• to bring dialogue to the point more quickly
– previous information about the medic (contacts, receipt prescription habits)
are recallable from the firm-net
•
•
presently still manually due to dialogue recording and product
documentation
in the future via mobile databases permanently faster access to data
without inconvenient storage, connection establishment etc.
401
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
402
Mobile databases support
• mobile databases offer principally data synchronization and replication
of enterprise servers and for mobile end-devices like PALM etc.
• due to increasingly mobile business processes there is a necessity of
databases, which must perform these functionalities among other
things:
– quickly
– compatible to as many as possible mobile systems
• 2 mobile database types:
– “asynchronous synchronization”: for instance SQL Remote of Sybase
• data replication between central database and multiple remote databases
• also offline-working is possible due to email-queuing principle (sent, if connected)
– “synchronous synchronization”: for instance Sybase Mobilink
Synchronization Server
• co-operation with databases of other vendors (via Server Middleware)
• permanent connection necessary, for instance via GSM
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
IBM DB2 Everyplace
• compatible for instance to Windows CE, PalmOS, EPOC ...
• footprint: ~150 k (storage requirements)
• for data balancing DB Everyplace Sync Server is necessary
– synchronization with other Handhelds without PC!
• includes so called Mobile Devices Administration Center
enables central management of all mobile end-devices of a
enterprise
• supports integration of enterprise data from different databases
and other sources (DB2 replication technology, JDBC, Adapter
API for customized decisions)
• data are encrypted during synchronization (56 or 128 Bit)
• supports automatic conflict processing

for instance WWW
Client (mobile)
low battery resource
• Client/Server-access by individual requests
• additionally: separate broadcast-channel from Server to the mobile
Clients: transmission and caching of frequently requested
information; thereby lower battery consumption (receiving less
expensive as sending for the Client)
Mobile Communication and Mobile Computing
Optimization: basic concept
• information in Publication-Group: regular
Broadcast
• information in On-Demand-Group: Client/Serverqueries
• exchange between both groups on the basis of:
–
–
–
–
access frequency (for instance on WWW-pages)
page modification frequency
channel bandwidths
clients storage volumes (Cache)
