Characterization of Mobile Services in Heterogeneous Communication Environments
نویسنده
چکیده
The term “service” is quite overused in the telecommunications research area. This paper continues previous research by the author toward a better understanding of the service concept. The term service in this paper means the “something” that a human user receives from the computing environment that includes mobile and fixed devices, various kinds of interconnected networks forming a larger whole, and a variety of existing software. The main concern of this paper is to derive a set of essential properties of services within heterogeneous networks. It also defines the relationships among established properties and references each of them to a certain functional layer within a service conceptual model. Finally, this paper represents an example of “service content value”-based classification and the service characterization framework using an ontological representation

متن کاملExperimental Analysis of Heterogeneous Wireless Networks
Packet loss and delay in Internet degrade the quality of requested services like VoIP (Voice over IP) or Video Streaming. In novel network scenarios where wired and wireless connections are melted together, a real measure of these parameters is fundamental in a planning process of new services over novel network infrastructures. Nowadays networks are heterogeneous in terms of access network tec...
