    As an important application in the busy world today, mobile video conferencing facilitates virtual face-to-face communication with friends, families and colleagues, via their mobile devices on the move. However, how to provision high-quality, multi-party video conferencing experiences over mobile devices is still an open challenge. The fundamental reason behind is the lack of computation and communication capacities on the mobile devices, to scale to large conferencing sessions. In this paper, we present vSkyConf, a cloud-assisted mobile video conferencing system to fundamentally improve the quality and scale of multi-party mobile video conferencing. By novelly employing a surrogate virtual machine in the cloud for each mobile user, we allow fully scalable communication among the conference participants via their surrogates, rather than directly. The surrogates exchange conferencing streams among each other, transcode the streams to the most appropriate bit rates, and buffer the streams for the most efficient delivery to the mobile recipients. A fully decentralized, optimal algorithm is designed to decide the best paths of streams and the most suitable surrogates for video transcoding along the paths, such that the limited bandwidth is fully utilized to deliver streams of the highest possible quality to the mobile recipients. We also carefully tailor a buffering mechanism on each surrogate to cooperate with optimal stream distribution. We have implemented vSkyConf based on Amazon EC2 and verified the excellent performance of our design, as compared to the widely adopted unicast solutions.Comment: 10 page

    Mobile communication system is designed to provide reliable communication with more number of services and with low cost among multiple users. Due to limited frequency spectrum and resources, mobile communication requires more development in case of both establishing communication and maintenance in service quality. To fulfill these requirements, 5G mobile communication is being developed to provide high quality reliable communication and quality of service, by using beamforming model. As the trend of next generation mobile communication, 3D directional transmission is considered to give enhanced coverage model and reusability of frequency. Phase arrayed antenna is used in this beamforming model to give orthogonal communication among users. In this paper, a new modeling of beamforming is applied to give a new dimension by considering altitude with potential field strategy. Here phase arrayed antenna is replaced by 3-D smart antenna to improve the performance of 5G mobile communications. Performance evaluation outcomes 3D beamforming leads 2D beamforming in terms of communication delay, and uplink downlink throughput

    GCCE2015 : IEEE 4th Global Conference on Consumer Electronics , Oct 27-30, 2015 , Osaka, JapanWatching high quality videos anytime, anywhere is expected because mobile devices become popular. However, if mobile devices try to watch a video at the same time via a wireless network, the concentrated loads to delivery server cause a delay and a stop of playing videos on client devices. Therefore, in this paper, we realize a mobile video on demand delivery system that mobile devices can watch high quality videos continuously by integrated methods of broadcast and communication. We delvelop the prototype system and have practical experiments to evaluate the proposed system

    Study and Implementation of 3G Mobile Security

    In the last decade there has been an exponential rise in use of mobile devices. 3G is the latest mobile technology that is currently in widespread use. The Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) is the most popular third generation mobile communication systems, which reposes on the popularity of the ‘second generation’ GSM system by introducing high quality services while retaining its essential and robust security features. Wireless communication is less secure, and mobility entails higher security risks than stationary devices. Security is the foremost concern in today’s mobile communication systems. Latest security mechanisms are needed to protect the singular features introduced in 3G technology. The security framework for 3G mobile networks is considered, and the various protocols for protection of the network access interface are studied and analyzed
