On fundamental concept of mobility for mobile communications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The tremendous demands from social market are pushing the booming development of mobile communications faster than ever before, leading to plenty of new advanced techniques emerging. Mobile communi-cations are changing people’s life style in many ways. Behind the scenario, the fantastic characteristic that makes this reality is mobility. This paper studies the basic concepts of mobility for mobile communications, with the attempts of trying to answer the fundamental questions on mobility. A conceptual discussion is made on mobility in the contexts of both computation and communication leading to the illustration of mobile computing. The effects of mobility on both architectures and protocols of networks and communications are analysed. The concept and operations of mobility management for mobile communications are also introduced. New challenges arise in future mobile communications systems with the diversity as the key feature, which lead to the definitions of classified mobility according to different granularities.

CAMEO: A novel context-aware middleware for opportunistic mobile social networks
Mobile systems are characterized by several dynamic components like users’ mobility, devices’ interoperability and interactions among users and their devices. In this scenario context-awareness and the emerging concept of social-awareness become a fundamental requirement to develop optimized systems and applications. In this paper we focus on a novel category of pervasive and mobile systems des...
متن کاملImproving Quality of Service Routing in Mobile Ad Hoc Networks Using OLSR
Mobile ad hoc networks (MANET) are constructed by mobile nodes without access point. Since MANET has certain constraints, including power shortages, an unstable wireless environment and node mobility, more power-efficient and reliable routing protocols are needed. The OLSR protocol is an optimization of the classical link state algorithm. OLSR introduces an interesting concept, the multipoint r...

In mobile ad hoc networks, the absence ofinfrastructure and the consequent absence of authorizationfacilities impede the usual practice of establishing a practicalcriterion to distinguishing nodes as trusted and distrusted.Since all nodes in the MANETs would be used as router inmulti-hop applications, secure routing protocols have vital rulein the security of the network. So evaluating the perf...
