What is Mobile Computing ?

A technology that allows transmission of data,via a computer,

without having to be connected to a fixed physical link.

There are two types of mobile communications according to mobile computing: 1.Mobile Voice Communication. 2.Mobile Data Communication.

Natural Evolution Of Computing

Cellular Network Architecture

Based on mobile communication classifications the cellular networks have been divided in to two types.

Voice Communication networks.

Data Communication networks.

Public Switched Telephone Network

A cellular network consists of mobile units linked together for the purpose of communication between two mobiles.

Base Stations(BS).

Mobile Switching Center(MSC).

Mobile Stations(MS).

Public Switched Telephone Network

Data Communications
Data Communications is the exchange of data using existing communication networks.

Technologies used are as follows: Circuit Switching. Packet Switching. Virtual Circuit Switching. Datagram System.

Mobile Communication Overview

Heterogeneous Wireless Overlay Networks

Mobility
Sending packets to a fixed network address. Need to support dynamically changing local addresses as mobile device moves through network. Mobile IP specification. Route optimization. Location updates.

Mobility:IP Routing

Mobility:Mobile IP

CDPD Technology
The priniciple of CDPD is usage of idle time in between existing voice signals that are being sent across the cellular networks. There are two types of CDPDs: 1.CS-CDPD(Ciruit Switched CDPD).

2.PS-CDPD(Packet Switched CDPD).

Circuit Switched CDPD

CDPD Hierarchy
Mobile End User Interface.

Mobile Data Base Station(MDBS).

Mobile Data Intermediate Systems(MDIS).

Intermediate Systems.

Applications
Emergency Services. Police Incident Information Screen. In companies. Stock Information Collation/Control.

Credit Card Verification.

Electronic Mail/Paging.

Challenges Of Mobile Computing

Prototyping. Bandwidth utilization.

Transactional properties.
Optimization of location dependent query processing. Data visualization.

Major Trends in Computing

Conclusion
Mobile Computing and Communications is useful for wireless Networks. The mobile phones could send / receive voice or short messages. Today mobile phones migrate more and more toward PDAs.In future mobile computing looks incresingly exciting.
