This paper discusses the role of context in a mobile ticketing system for public transport. Although context-awareness in this domain promises benefits such as simplified and smarter usersystem interaction, the context of telecommunication services raises issues of security and privacy. We present a system architecture utilizing a privacy enhancing protocol that allows secure exchange of sensit...

The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) is currently reviewing Radio Transmission Technology (RTT) proposals for third or next generation (3G) mobile systems which is commonly referred to as the International Mobile Telecommunications in the year 2000 (IMT-2000)[1] standardization project. The project’s goal is to develop a global standard that will enable wireless subscribers to acces...

The needs to provide medical services in remote areas have motivated researchers to develop telemedicine systems. In most cases, it is very likely that very remote areas and disaster struck areas lack telecommunication infrastructure. Telemedicine system operating in such areas must have advanced wireless technology supporting it. Our approach is on MANET combined with Mobile IP and MIPV6, is t...

In this paper, we introduces a multi home agent and pointer-based location management scheme. Multi home agent preserves the location information for different wireless technologies (Universal Mobile Telecom...

The advances in mobile telecommunication networks as well as in mobile device technology have stimulated the development of a wide range of mobile applications. While it is sensible to install at least some components of applications on mobile devices to gain independence of rather unreliable mobile network connections, it is difficult to decide about the suitable application components and the...

Fixed–mobile convergence (FMC) is a radical innovation for telecommunication companies because it requires them to move into unknown territories that are beyond traditional business lines and underlying technologies. In the meantime, understanding what types of telecommunication companies are better at doing business through the early adoption of FMC has become increasingly important in the con...

3 generation systems such as UMTS will support the enrichment of the traditional service provision schemes via partnering of mobile network operators with other players in the marketplace, such as value added service providers and content providers. These partnerships will raise the bar on service provision requirements as well as roaming configurations. Roaming requirements for future mobile t...

These paper introduces a reservation subframe protocol for multimedia services in a 3rd generation mobile telecommunication system. The Packet Reservation Multiple Access (PRMA) protocol is modified to achieve more efficient bandwidth management. Simulation results show that the resulting multiple access multimedia system can serve a large number of users with low probability of packet loss, en...

Mobile agents are autonomous, asynchronous and, optionally, intelligent software entities which can migrate to and reside in a number of network nodes. In our proposal mobile agents are used for collecting subscriber information on the terminal side in mobile communication networks. Mobile agents are sent out by the network part for collecting information, such as location area identifier and c...

-Neural computing refers to a pattern recognition methodology for machine learning. The resulting model from neural computing is often called an artif icial neural network (ANN) or a neural network. Neural networks have been used in many business applications for pattern recognition, forecasting, prediction and classif ication. Neural network computing is a key component for any data mining too...
