MOBILE COMPUTING
ILAMATHI.V

SCOPE AND OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE:

The scope and objective of the course is to understand the fundamentals of mobile
computing and networking system. Mobile Computing is expected to encompass heterogeneous
access technologies and the Internet backbone for providing multimedia services to both mobile
and stationary users. It poses significant technical challenges to enable broadband wireless access
with seamless and ubiquitous coverage and quality-of-service provisioning.

Applications and computing services supporting the mobile user

Network architectures, protocols, or service algorithms

Performance characterization of mobile/wireless networks

Network management for mobile and wireless networks

Data management and databases for mobile environments

Service integration and interworking of wired and wireless networks

Interaction between different layers of mobile or wireless systems

Satellite communications

Quality of service and integrated services in mobile or wireless networks

Mobile Internetworking

Intelligent network signaling

Mobile ad hoc and sensor networks
