    What is Mobile?
     Able to move or be moved freely or easily.
     Technically defined as :
    “relating to mobile phones, handheld computers, and
    similar technology”.

    What is an Application?
     Putting something into operation
     Technically defined as:
    “A computer program designed to perform a specific
    task for the user”.
    What is mobile computing?

     A simple definition could be:


    Mobile Computing is using a computer (of one kind or another) while on the
    move
     Another definition could be:
    Mobile Computing is when a (work) process is moved from a normal fixed
    position to a more dynamic position.
     A third definition could be:
    Mobile Computing is when a work process is carried out somewhere where it
    was not previously possible.
     Mobile Computing is the technology used for transmitting voice and data
    through small, portable devices using wireless enabled networks.
    Main Components of Mobile Computing
    Systems
     Mobile Hardware
     Mobile Hardware is a small and portable computing device with the ability to retrieve and
    process data. These devices typically have an Operating System (OS) embedded in them and
    able to run application software on top of it. These devices are equipped with sensors, full-
    duplex data transmission and have the ability to operate on wireless networks such as IR,
    WiFi, and Bluetooth.
     Laptops
     PDAs
     Tablets
     Smartphones
     Notebooks
     E-Readers
     Smart Watches, etc.
    Contd.

     Mobile Software
     Mobile Software is the software program which is developed specifically to be run
    on mobile hardware.  This is usually the operating system in mobile devices. These
    operating systems provide features such as touchscreen, cellular connectivity,
    Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS mobile navigation, camera, video camera, speech
    recognition, voice recorder, music player, near field communication and sensors.
    The device sensors and other hardware components can be accessed via the OS.
    Contd.

     Communication
     Mobile Communication refers to the exchange of data and voice using existing wireless
    networks. The data being transferred are the applications including File Transfer (FT),
    the interconnection between Wide-Area-Networks (WAN), facsimile (fax), electronic
    mail, access to the internet and the World Wide Web. The wireless networks utilized in
    communication are IR, Bluetooth, W-LANs, Cellular, W-Packet Data networks and
    satellite communication system. It is the mobile communication infrastructure which
    takes care of seamless and reliable communication between mobile devices.
    Wireless Communication Networks

     personal area network (PAN)


    A wireless telecommunications network for device-to-
    device connections within a very short range
     Bluetooth
    A set of telecommunications standards that enables
    wireless devices to communicate with each other over
    short distances
    Contd.
     Wireless Local Area Networks and Wi-fi
     wireless local area network (WLAN)
    A telecommunications network that enables users to make short-range
    wireless connections to the Internet or another network
     Wi-Fi (wireless fidelity)
    The common name used to describe the IEEE 802.11 standard used on most
    WLANs
     wireless access point
    An antenna that connects a mobile device to a wired LAN
     hotspot
    An area or point where a wireless device can make a connection to a
    wireless local area network (using Wi-Fi)
    Contd.
     WWAN (wireless wide area network)communication bandwidths
     1G - The first generation of wireless technology, which was analog based
     2G - The second generation of digital wireless technology; accommodates voice and text
     2.5G - An interim wireless technology that can accommodate voice, text, and limited
    graphics
     3G - The third generation of digital wireless technology; supports rich media such as
    video
     3.5G - This generation was inserted into the ranks of cell phone generations; it refers to
    the packet-switched technologies used to achieve higher transmission speeds
     4G - It provides faster display of multimedia
     5G - 5G networks are the next generation of mobile internet connectivity, offering faster
    speeds and more reliable connections on smartphones and other devices than ever
    before. Combining cutting-edge network technology and the very latest research, 5G
    should offer connections that are multitudes faster than current connections, with
    average download speeds of around 1GBps expected to soon be the norm.
