Mobile tracking system is used to monitor vehicles position and in special cases there are much useful information can be monitored such as speed, cabin temperature and number of passenger. This monitoring process is done using vehicle's position data from satellite through GPS device, and sending the data to a server through GSM modem. This paper proposes new approach on managing all vehicle data...
As the mobile Internet gradually penetrates into the daily life, it is becoming the most important way people acquire information. Statistical characteristics of users' data access behavior can be used as the foundation for optimization of network deployment, or even trigger new business models. In this paper, distribution patterns of the subscriber's data access behavior have been discussed both...
In this paper we propose an efficient scheme for supporting multi-path based in-network content caching by leveraging Loop-Free Alternate (LFA) in IP routing. The purpose is to enable clustered distribution of cached content chunks at en-route routers between the content source and the requester. In order to achieve caching localization, we also introduce policies that limit the maximum allowable...
Mobile Internet traffic keeps a fasting-growth globally. This paper is to shed light on the traffic analysis and policy control in EV-DO systems. Large-scale datasets collected from an urban area are studied for characterizing the application/subscriber usage and downlink-uplink imbalance. Our observations show that HTTP and P2P contribute over 80% traffic, due to the prevalence of video applications...
This paper proposes VideoFountain, a novel service that deploys kiosks at popular venues to store and transmit digital media to users' personal devices using Wi-Fi access points, which may not have Internet connectivity. We leverage mobile users to deliver content to these kiosks. A key component in this design is an in-depth understanding of user mobility. We gather real mobility traces from two...
Positioning capabilities offered in modern mobile devices enable usage of location-based services. Privacy and security is of great importance for related applications. We present a framework that allows conducting research on anonymity techniques in a real-life environment using smartphones. The proposed solution also includes logging mechanisms that facilitate positioning research dataset development...
ICT has become an indispensable factor in the modern life of every individual. The elements of information and communication technology related sources are perceived as essential parameters in day today operation of banking both in private and public nature while deal with customers and stakeholders. The applications of ICT are augmenting in every sphere of our action includes both consumption and...
Rapid increases in the demand for broadband data are increasingly causing a growth in costs for communication service providers (CSPs). Yet under the current pricing plans, CSPs' revenue has not kept pace with these costs. Thus, many CSPs are considering Smart Data Pricing (SDP) as a way to reduce cost or increase revenue. Before offering such novel data plans, however, CSPs must conduct trials of...
Information-centric networks (ICNs) have emerged as a prominent future Internet architecture. They work on the principle that, in today???s society, a network should be optimised towards the delivery of information, rather than the transit of messages between pre-determined end hosts. At the same time, another prominent research direction has been the delay-tolerant networking initiative, which argues...
Since 2005, when it was introduced to the markets, Near Field Communication (NFC) technology has been used in various applications with the aim to increase convenience in people's everyday life activities. This technology supports the concept of Ambient Intelligence to interact seamlessly with the computer using everyday-objects to deliver information to the users. Users will not need to concentrate...
Mobile Internet access becomes a major research focus with the increase of mobile phones. This paper introduced and summarized a variety of wireless technologies supporting mobile Internet access. Firstly, the current progressing wireless access technologies were valued on their strengths and weaknesses. Then the newest mobility support researches and progresses over IP layer, such as MIP, NEMO, SIP...
Mobile users nowadays expect network connectivity in all places and at all times. While 3G and 4G networks promise to satisfy this growing demand, these networks can be overloaded, and users prefer free network access whenever possible. Research in Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networks (DTNs), has demonstrated the viability of opportunistically utilizing public 802.11 networks for providing networking...
This paper aims to perform SWOT analysis of the mobile telecom sector in Pakistan. Detailed study has been carried out by conducting surveys with subjects having different backgrounds and belonging to different professions, regions and age groups. A comparative study of the mobile networks presently operating in Pakistan has been performed. It is found that telecom sector has significant potential...
Developing an adequate network architecture for supporting data communications in vehicular networks is critical to overcome the challenges caused by highly dynamic network topology, connectivity disruption, and intermittent connectivity issues. Among several approaches available in the related literature to address these problems, vehicular delay-tolerant networks (VDTNs) appear as a recent and innovative...
In his seminal book "The New Asian Hemisphere - The irreversible shift of global power to the East" Kishore Mahbubani, the famous Singaporean diplomat and professor at the National University of Singapore gave an in-depth analysis about the changes which are implied by the use of mobile phones in developing countries. Three of his examples should illustrate this: (1) "The Bangladesh...
Learning ecological science content and inquiry strategies should increasingly use the new tools from science - sensors for data capture, information visualization for data-analysis, low-cost mobile computers and mobiles for field-based science. The LET's GO! project seeks to develop, implement, research, and sustainably scale a new paradigm for fostering high school student learning in teams for...
In recent years, under the advancement of mobile communication technology and popularization of information technology, diversified value added services have emerged. Location-based services (LBS) is an application of information and Internet integrated technology that has been developed rapidly in recent years. This study utilized a room-based indoor location mode to construct a wireless sensor network...
As a result of its success, Wi-Fi has been promoted as an access technology to provide full internet connectivity in the municipal area. Supporting application QoS by managing resource provisioning is an important challenge for wireless network operators. This paper proposes a traffic engineering model for managing a Voice over Wi-Fi service in a municipal area with stationary and mobile clients....
Distributed and mobile collaboration technologies continue to play an important role in supporting complex, flexible and interconnected collaborations within networked enterprises and e-science. The latest trends in distributed and mobile collaboration technologies allow people to work across organizational boundaries, to collaborate among/in organizations and communities and to be part of the collaborative...
