ABSTRACT

Abstract

This paper characterizes the properties of fourthgeneration wireless networks (4G). Given the properties of 4G, we need a plug- and play Internet, where users, mobile artifacts, and (potentially intelligent) virtual objects are able to meet and engage in communication, thus creating a Mobile Interactive Space on Wireless Internet. Thus mechanisms are needed that enable ad-hoc application level communication, not requiring prior knowledge of the existence or attributes of other entities. In this paper I propose and describe an a application architecture for adaptive mobile communication for Wireless Internet featuring an eXtensible Service Protocol that has these necessary properties. We show that it is easy and cost-effective to build those networks, with our testbed for new adaptive applications fo
