Context-Enhanced Service Provisioning in Wireless Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
We describe a context-aware architecture under development at the Department of Computer Science and Telecommunications of the University of Trento. The middleware system described in this report can integrate various data about the user and his/her context (e.g., position) and provide them in a transparent and system-independent way via a SOAP interface to dynamic web pages and other client applications. The main components of the architecture are described, and the main development choices are motivated.

Agent-Based Support for Context-Aware Provisioning of IMS-Enabled Ubiquitous Services
Multimedia applications executed on mobile devices allow users to be present and communicate with other users, anywhere and anytime, through wide area cellular networks, wireless local area networks (WLAN), or fixed networks. In order to enable ubiquitous personalized services, communication systems should allow users to specify their context, or their mobile devices and network infrastructures...
متن کامل3G and Beyond & Enabled Adaptive Mobile Multimedia Communication
This paper lists various limitations in 2.5G, 3G cellular networks regarding services, and contrasts this to a characterization of fourth-generation wireless networks (4G). In order to investigate 4G’s feasibility, costeffectiveness, necessary functionality, and its potential with respect to services we created a testbed by adding wireless extensions to a public Gigabit IPnetwork, which was fur...
متن کاملA Cross-Layer Architecture for End-to-End QoS Provisioning in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
In this paper, a novel cross layer architecture is proposed to provide enhanced Quality of Service (QoS) in wireless ad hoc networks. The key feature of the proposed architecture is the integration of the service vector paradigm at the network layer with a delay-bounded power efficient scheduling approach at the data link layer. It has been demonstrated through modeling and simulations that thi...
