Tseng:WirelessNet
Mobile Computing
 Wireless Communication Technology
 Portable Computer Technology
 appearance of light-weight computing devices
 Vision: Ubiquitous Computing / Nomadic Computing
 computers everywhere;
 information anywhere anytime
Ch0:10
Tseng:WirelessNet
Features of Wireless Communication
 one global bandwidth shared by all users
 fortunately channels, such as (frequency, time-slot) pairs,
can be reused
 Radio-based
 low bandwidth
 high latency radio communication links
 higher bit error rate (BER)
 fading
 short-term multipath fading (Rayleigh effect)
 due to same signal taking different paths and arriving at the
receiver shifted in phase
 long-term fading (radio shadow)
 topology of the terrain (like mountains) can cause signal
dropouts
Ch0:11
Tseng:WirelessNet
 solution: deploying multiple antenna sites
Features of Portable Computers
 Limited resources:
 limited energy (battery life)
 limited CPU speed
 limited memory
 Less reliable, less secure
Ch0:12

Mobile System Architecture
 Cellular-based
 Ad hoc
 Relaying link
 Wireless ATM
 Packet Radio Network
 Sensor Networks
Ch0:13

Mobile Computing Applications/Services
 Wireless information services:
 Pico-service: local parking lot availability, layout of a
building
 Micro-service: train and bus station information, local traffic
information
 Macro-service: weather information, local news service
 Wide Area Service: stock market information
 Real-time multimedia applications
 tele-medicine
 tele-computing
 collaborative environments
Ch0:14
Tseng:WirelessNet
Research: Hardware Aspects
 power saving
 display, LCD
 low-voltage CPUs
 AT&T's Hobbit chip: 5,000 times less power consumption in
doze mode than active mode
 radio:
 IEEE 802.11 power consumption example:
 transmit: 1400 mW
 receive: 1000 mW
 idle: 830 mW
 sleep: 130 mW
 size, user interface (wearable computers)
Ch0:15
Tseng:WirelessNet
Research: Software Aspects
 mobile communication protocols
