Course Objectives

CO1 :: Evaluate sensor and adhoc networks to develop mobile

computing environment

Mobile adhoc network

CO2 :: identify the working of software mobile
agents over long distances and under different
network conditions

CO3 :: summarize the security aspects in mobile

and wireless networks

CO4 :: classify between types of mobility and

examine theory research in mobility
What is Mobile Computing?
Aspects of mobility

– User mobility: users communicate “anytime,

anywhere, with anyone”
(example: read/write email on web browser)
– Device portability: devices can be connected anytime,
anywhere to the network
What is Mobile Computing?
Mobile means to move from one place to another.

Computing is activity that uses the computer to manage ,

process and communicate the information.

Mobile Computing : A technology that allows

transmission of data, via a computer, without having to
be connected to a fixed physical link.

Mobile computing system are distributed system with

network to communicate between different machines.
Why we are studying this course?
An extension of this technology is the ability to send and
receive data across these cellular networks. This is the
principle of mobile computing.
Cellular Network is formed of some cells, cell covers a geographical region, has a
base station 
Mobile data communication has become a very
important and rapidly evolving technology as it
allows users to transmit data from remote
locations to other remote or fixed locations.

This proves to be the solution to the biggest

problem of business people on the move -
mobility.
Application Areas
Vehicles
Nomadic User
Smart mobile phone
Intelligent house or office
Meeting room/conference
Disaster relief and Disaster alarm
Military / Security
Nomadic Computing
Nomadic computing is the use of mobile computing
technology to connect to the global Internet or use
specific data resources from a stored location while
moving around from one place to another.
