It is now feasible to host basic web services on a smart phone due to the advances in wireless devices and mobile communication technologies. While the applications are quite welcoming, the ability to provide secure and reliable communication in the vulnerable and volatile mobile ad-hoc topologies is vastly becoming necessary. The paper mainly addresses the details and issues in providing secur...

There is disparity in access to Information and Communication Technologies between male and female especially in developing countries. This study did a gender analysis of access and use of ICTs in Ekiti state, Nigeria. Multistage sampling procedure was used to select 178 respondents. Data collected were analysed using descriptive statistics and t-test at α0.05. Radio (198.7), mobile phones (186...

Mobile embedded systems increasingly use transactions for applications like mobile inventory, mobile commerce or commercial applications. Yet, many issues are challenging and need to be resolved before enabling mobile devices to take part in distributed computing. Mobile environment limitations make it harder to design appropriate and efficient commit protocols. There are a handful of protocols...

216 Abstract—Authentication of mobile subscriber is a challenge of future researchers due to increasing security threats and attacks with the enhanced population of wireless traffic. 3G mobile communication system has been developed to speed up the data communication. In general the authentication technique in 2G mobile communication is solely dependent on checking the authenticity of MS (Mobil...

To date, mobile communication has been dominated by voice services. This is likely to be valid also for the foreseeable future, but at the same time a multitude of data services are also emerging. This trend in mobile communication has fueled the introduction of packet-switched mobile networks, thus introducing the IP suite into the field of mobile communications. This technological shift can b...

This article presents the research work that exploits using XML (Extensible Markup Language) to represent different types of information in mobile agent systems, including agent communication messages, mobile agent messages, and other system information. The goal of the research is to build a programmable information base in mobile agent systems through XML representations. The research not onl...

Recently, mobile communication systems are suffering from exponentially increasing data traffic. As a promising solution to the increase in data traffic, a coordinated multi-point transmission and reception (CoMP) scheme has been proposed. Although a great deal of research has been done on this new technology, the performance of mobile communication systems with CoMP has not been evaluated prop...

Timely wireless communication is essential to allow real-time mobile applications, such as communication between mobile robots or inter-vehicle communication to be realized. The real-time event-based communication paradigm has been recognized as an appropriate highlevel communication scheme to connect autonomous components in large distributed control systems [1]. We investigate whether real-ti...

Mobile phone use and wireless communication technology have grown explosively over the past decades. This rapid growth has caused widespread global concern about the potential detrimental effects of this technology on human health. Stem cells generate specialized cell types of the tissue in which they reside through normal differentiation pathways. Considering the undeniable importance of stem ...

Since people communicate with each other by mobile phones more and more frequently in daily lives, they pay more attention on the quality and rating of communication and the battery consumption when using the mobile phones. In order to provide users the services with low price, high communication quality and less battery consumption in any environments, this paper selects the users’ acceptable ...
