The Intelligent Decision Aiding Representation System (IDARS) is a frame-based object-oriented platform that is intended to support the intelligent tutoring of U.S. Army planning personnel in battlefield communications network configuration. U.S. Army communications networks are configured using Mobile Subscriber Equipment (MSE) which provides communications support for a typical five-division ...

This paper talks about an emerging and exciting application of ad-hoc network where vehicles are serving as nodes. This area has certain promised aspects and activities to be offered, which are broadly related with the safety, convenience, entertainment, and various other topics of interest. It is an ad hoc network of vehicles, known as ‘Vehicular Ad Hoc Network (VANET).’ Vehicular Ad-Hoc netwo...

The fifth generation (5G) mobile telecommunication network is expected to support multi-access mobile edge computing (MEC), which intends to distribute computation tasks and services from the central cloud to the edge clouds. Towards ultraresponsive, ultra-reliable and ultra-low-latency MEC services, the current mobile network security architecture should enable more decentralized approach for ...

The GSM system has become the most popular system for mobile communication in the world. Criminals commonly use GSM phones, and it is therefore a need for forensic investigators to understand which evidence can be obtained from the GSM system. This paper briefly explains the basics of the GSM system. Evidence items that can be obtained from the Mobile Equipment, the SIM and the core network are...

Fujitsu has developed outdoor Long Term Evolution (LTE) infrastructure equipment (eNodeB) based on the specifications in the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). Thanks to the use of highly efficient and highly integrated devices, flexible software configuration technology and simple hardware architecture, this LTE infrastructure equipment is small, lightweight and has a low power consump...

Due to immense competition in the market, mobile equipment vendors and service providers are faced with the challenge of delivering solutions early, way ahead of their competitors. Time-to-market pressures necessitate a carefully worked out test strategy for verifying and validating the correctness of mobile communication solutions. This paper outlines the various challenges that are faced in t...

During the past few years, mobile technologies have become common in everyday life. Almost everyone carry some kind of mobile technological equipment with him or her, for example a personal digital assistant (PDA), a mobile phone, a multimedia player, such as an iPod, or a laptop computer. The use of these equipments is not limited only to workplaces, schools or homes. Particularly useful infor...

The ascending number of mobile devices is accompanied by an ever increasing effort of malware developers to find new means of infecting them. GSM, as a basic technology for mobile communication used by most mobile phones, lacks certain security aspects. In order to access a provider network the mobile equipment authenticates itself against the network, whereas the latter does not have to prove ...

The Drive-thru Internet architecture allows exploiting intermittent connectivity by temporarily connecting to IEEE 802.11 WLAN access points at the roadside from moving vehicles. This poses numerous challenges to a mobile user’s equipment: extreme networking characteristics such as short periods of connectivity, unpredictable disconnection times, and vastly varying transmission characteristics....
