Wireless bandwidth is a scarce resource in a cellular mobile network. As such, it is important to effectively allocate bandwidth to each cell such that the overall system performance is optimized. Channel allocation strategies have been extensively studied for voice communications in cellular networks. However, for data dissemination applications, studies on bandwidth allocation have thus far b...

In the mobile communication environments, Mobile IP is defined to provide users roaming everywhere and transmit information freely. It integrates communication and network systems into Internet. The Mobile IPv6 concepts are similar to Mobile IP, and some new functions of IPv6 bring new features and schemes for mobility support. Two major problems in mobile environments are packet loss and hando...

In this paper, we describe a novel architecture to enable a secure communication among mobile devices using different wireless technologies like wireless LAN, Bluetooth, cellular systems or even infrared. Making use of the combination of these technologies for the data transmission and for the signaling of the communication, we analyze several scenarios with increasing complexity. The complete ...

this paper proposes an efficient network architecture to improve energy consumption in wireless sensor networks (wsn). the proposed architecture uses a mobile data collector to a partitioned network. the mobile data collector moves to center of each logical partition after each decision period. the mobile data collector must declare its new location by packet broadcasting to all sensor nodes. h...

Offloading cellular traffic through mobile social networks has arisen as a promising way for relieving cellular networks. Prior studies mainly focused on caching data in a number of pre-selected helpers. However, such a strategy would fail when mobile users enter and leave the target area over time. In this paper, we examine the research decisions and design tradeoffs that arise when offloading...

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 ...

This paper argues that Dynamic Coalition Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Network exists in numerous scenarios where mobile users cluster and form coalitions, and the relationship between sizes of coalitions and distances from mobile nodes to their Point of Interest (PoI) follows exponential distributions. The P2P coalition patterns of mobile users and their exponential distribution behavior can be utilized ...

grid computing is a term referring to the combination of computer resources from multiple administrative domains to reach a common computational platform. mobile computing is a generic word that introduces using of movable, handheld devices with wireless communication, for processing data. mobile computing focused on providing access to data, information, services and communications anywhere an...

2 Abstract In this paper, we argue that Dynamic Coalition Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Network exists in numerous scenarios where mobile users cluster and form coalitions, and the relationship between sizes of coalitions and distances from mobile nodes to their Point of Interest (PoI) follows exponential distributions. The P2P coalition patterns of mobile users and their exponential distribution behavior...

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks are spreading to Mobile Networks. Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANET) and P2P have already been under thorough research focus but lately also cellular networks and P2P have drawn more interest. This paper suggests a hybrid, mobile overlay P2P architecture, that connects MANET and cellular P2P networks via Mobile Proxies to universal P2P networks, called a Mobile Peer-to-P...
