Moblie Computing
What is Mobile Computing ?
Mobile Computing is a technology that allows transmission of data,
voice, and video via a computer or any other wireless-enabled device.
Mobile Computing involves the following
concepts or operatio,m:
Mobile Communication
Mobile Hardware
Mobile Software
Mobile Communication
Mobile Communication specifies a framework that is responsible for the
working of mobile computing technology. In this case, mobile
communication refers to an infrastructure that ensures seamless and
reliable communication among wireless devices. This framework ensures
the consistency and reliability of communication between wireless devices.
The mobile communication framework consists of communication devices
such as protocols, services, bandwidth, and portals necessary to facilitate
and support the stated services. These devices are responsible for
delivering a smooth communication process .
Mobile communication can be divided in
the following four types:
Fixed and Wired
Fixed and Wireless
Mobile and Wired
Mobile and Wireless
Fixed and Wired: In Fixed and Wired
configuration, the devices are fixed at a
position, and they are connected through a
physical link to communicate with other
devices.
For Example, Desktop Computer.
Fixed and Wireless: In Fixed and Wireless configuration, the
devices are fixed at a position, and they are connected through a
wireless link to make communication with other devices.
For Example, Communication Towers, WiFi router
Mobile and Wired: In Mobile and Wired configuration, some
devices are wired, and some are mobile. They altogether make
communication with other devices.
For Example, Laptops.
Mobile and Wireless: In Mobile and Wireless configuration, the
devices can communicate with each other irrespective of their
position. They can also connect to any network without the use of
any wired device.
For Example, WiFi Dongle.
Mobile Hardware
Mobile hardware consists of mobile devices
or device components that can be used to
receive or access the service of mobility.
Examples of mobile hardware can be
smartphones, laptops, portable PCs, tablet
PCs, Personal Digital Assistants, etc.
Mobile Software
Mobile software is a program that runs on mobile hardware. This is
designed to deal capably with the characteristics and requirements of
mobile applications. This is the operating system for the appliance of
mobile devices. In other words, you can say it the heart of the mobile
systems. This is an essential component that operates the mobile device.
