SAMI: Service-Based Arbitrated Multi-Tier Infrastructure for Mobile Cloud Computing
Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is the state-ofthe- art mobile computing
technology aims to alleviate resource poverty of mobile devices. Recently,
several approaches and techniques have been proposed to augment mobile devices
by leveraging cloud computing. However, long-WAN latency and trust are still
two major issues in MCC that hinder its vision. In this paper, we analyze MCC
and discuss its issues. We leverage Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to
propose an arbitrated multi-tier infrastructure model named SAMI for MCC. Our
architecture consists of three major layers, namely SOA, arbitrator, and
infrastructure. The main strength of this architecture is in its multi-tier
infrastructure layer which leverages infrastructures from three main sources of
Clouds, Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), and MNOs' authorized dealers. On top
of the infrastructure layer, an arbitrator layer is designed to classify
Services and allocate them the suitable resources based on several metrics such
as resource requirement, latency and security. Utilizing SAMI facilitate
development and deployment of service-based platform-neutral mobile
applications.Comment: 6 full pages, accepted for publication in IEEE MobiCC'12 conference,

Landscape Study in Wireless and Mobile Learning in the post-16 sector
In the post-16 sector (further and higher education, and adult and community learning) there is a need to understand how wireless and mobile technologies can contribute to improving the student experience of learning, and help institutions fulfil their missions in an age of incomparably fast technological change. In the context of this interest and growing need, a Landscape Study project was commissioned by JISC through the Innovation strand of the JISC e-Learning Programme in 2004-5. Our project aims were to take a birds-eye view of developments and practice in the UK and internationally, and to communicate our findings to a broad and varied audience. The Summary report is accompanied by 3 associated reports on 'Current Uses', 'Potential Uses' and 'Strategic Aspects'. (The four reports are available in one single document here.
Unveiling the Evolution of Mobile Networks: From 1G to 7G
The evolution of cellular networks has played a pivotal role in shaping the
modern telecommunications landscape. This paper explores the journey of
cellular network generations, beginning with the introduction of Japan's first
commercial 1G network by Nippon Telegraph and Telephone (NTT) Corporation in
1979. This analog wireless network quickly expanded to become the country's
first national 1G network within a remarkably short period.
The transition from analog to digital networks marked a significant turning
point in the wireless industry, enabled by advancements in MOSFET
(Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) technology. MOSFET,
originally developed at Bell Labs in 1959, underwent modifications to suit
cellular networks in the early 1990s, facilitating the shift to digital
wireless mobile networks. The advent of the 2G generation brought forth the
first commercial digital cellular network in 1991, sparking recognition among
manufacturers and mobile network operators of the importance of robust networks
and efficient architecture. As the wireless industry continued to experience
exponential growth, the significance of effective network infrastructure became
increasingly evident.
In this research, our aim is to provide a comprehensive overview of the
entire spectrum of cellular network generations, ranging from 1G to the
potential future of 7G. By tracing the evolution of these networks, we aim to
shed light on the transformative developments that have shaped the
telecommunications landscape and explore the possibilities that lie ahead in
the realm of cellular technology
