Enabling 5G mobile wireless technologies

Research on 5G mobile wireless technologies has been very active in both academia and industry in the past few years. While there has been certain consensus on the overall requirements of 5G wireless systems (e.g., in data rate, network capacity, delay), various enabling wireless technologies have been considered and studied to achieve these performance targets. It has been quite clear, however...

Re-designing Retail Stores with Mobile and Wireless Technologies

Mobile and wireless (M&W) technologies have great potential to improve process efficiency and effectiveness within retail stores, but their application is still very limited. One of the main reasons explaining this situation is considered to be the lack of confidence in the actual benefits and, therefore, in the return on investment. As a matter of facts, activities in this...

Mobile Agents for Wireless Computing: The Convergence of Wireless Computational Models with Mobile-Agent Technologies

Wireless mobile computing breaks the stationary barrier and allows users to compute and access information from anywhere and at anytime. However, this new freedom of movement does not come without new challenges. The mobile computing environment is constrained in many ways. Mobile elements are resource-poor and unreliable. Their network connectivity is often achieved through low-bandwidth wirel...

Networking technologies to support wireless mobile multimedia

The simplest forms of mobile multimedia are already provided by GSM mobile telephones delivering audio and basic data services. However, they remain in the dark ages when compared to the multimedia applications we have grown accustomed to using over fixed data networks. Realising the potential of the mobile multimedia market, network operators have been designing and are beginning to deploy new...
