Mobile Computing

Wireless Communication Technology

Portable Computer Technology appearance of light-weight computing devices

Vision: Ubiquitous Computing / Nomadic Computingcomputers everywhere; information anywhere anytime

Ch0:11Tseng:WirelessNet

Features of Wireless Communication

one global bandwidth shared by all users fortunately channels, such as (frequency, time-slot) pairs, can be reuse

d Radio-based

low bandwidthhigh latency radio communication linkshigher bit error rate (BER)

fading short-term multipath fading (Rayleigh effect)

due to same signal taking different paths and arriving at the receiver shifted in phase

long-term fading (radio shadow) topology of the terrain (like mountains) can cause signal dropouts solution: deploying multiple antenna sites

Ch0:12Tseng:WirelessNet

Features of Portable Computers

Limited resources: limited energy (battery life) limited CPU speed limited memory

Less reliable, less secure
