The exponential growth of mobile data users and services places a heavy burden on the limited wireless bandwidth of cellular data networks. The situation will be exacerbated with the advent of high bandwidth multimedia applications for mobile devices. In this paper, we propose an architecture called the Cellular-based Ad hoc Peer Data Sharing system (CAPS) to reduce the load on the cellular net...

Recent initiatives to add mobility to the Internet and packet data services to third generation cellular systems are being considered by emerging mobile service providers as possible candidate solutions for the delivery of IP data to mobile users. Both of these two candidates have a number of shortcomings, however. Mobile IP represents a simple and scalable global mobility solution but is not a...

reviews in many countries indicate that drivers often talk on mobile (cell) phones. studies have been done on possible effects of concurrent mobile phone use on driving performance. previous studies have found that phone talking could impairs performance on simulated or instrumented driving tasks, using such measures as reaction time, following distance, and situational awareness. most of these...

The paper discusses the application of mobile agents in the management of mobile telephone (cellular) networks. We propose the use of mobile agents for collecting subscriber information, such as location area identifier and cell identifier. By using a subscriber profile containing these data the signaling messages caused by location update could be reduced. We also propose a method to improve t...

This work presents an efficient data service scheme for location dependent data/objects in a cellular mobile network. It is developed around the hardware structure of cellular automata ( ). The hardware acts as a search engine and performs computation for the data service at a high speed. An encoding technique is reported for the cellular network space that suits effective design of the hardwar...

Location-awareness and prediction of future locations is an important problem in pervasive and mobile computing. In cellular systems (e.g., GSM) the serving cell is easily available as an indication of the user location, without any additional hardware or network services. With this location data and other context variables we can determine places that are important to the user, such as work an...

Advancing technology in wireless communication offers users anytime, anywhere access to information and network resources without restricting them to the fixed network infrastructure. Mobile computing represents a shift in the distributed systems paradigm. The potential of decoupled and disconnected operation, location-dependent computation and communication and powerful portable computing devi...

In this paper, a hand off procedure is proposed which in addition to eliminate the packet loss and reduce the packet delay, it reduces the network overhead. In this method, the future cell is predicted and packets are transmitted to this cell during hand off time. Then mobile host is allowed to handoff to this cell only. We call this procedure, forced handoff. In addition, we propose a simple t...
