Together, this environment will compose a multimedia network infrastructure, providing advanced data, voice, and video services, which is referred to here as “InfoCity”. In this chapter, several emerging technologies, which might be used to provide the mobile multimedia services needed in the event of such a technology integration and convergence are presented. Careful consideration is given as to how these new technologies could best be used to offer a state-of-the-art, networked “InfoCity”, as a solution for next generation distributed multimedia applications. InfoCity, as presented here, is envisioned as a wired and wireless co-existence environment, with seamless service delivery of full multimedia applications, regardless of the user’s location and receiving device. Frame relay and ATM are presented as facilitating high-speed connections to a future broadband architecture. In order to support the diverse service needs of multimedia, Quality of Service (QoS) must be assured. Resource reservation protocol (RSVP) is considered as an example of the type of service-arbitration technique which could be used to provide users with such QoS assurance based on user need, rather than fair allocation. Finally, mobile IP is included as one approach to providing mobile host support in this new environment.

In AMNP, two operation modes are de#ned for each network layer packet present at a mobile network node, namely, the connection mode and the connectionless mode. The modes are inter-changeable depending on the mobility of the nodes. AMNP is adaptive to the network mobility and able to adjust its own behavior for the best delivery of QoS to the end services. In essence, AMNP exploits the advantages of the #exibility of IP and the high e#ciency of ATM, and combines them to provide a robust performance under a wide range of mobility extent. 1 Introduction to General Mobile Network Telecommunications infrastructure development has been exploding in recent years. Amongst the most rapidly developed ones is the wireless mobile network, which has been pushed by the ever-increasing demand to support end user services on t...

The profile of a distance learning session, including video-ondemand, is unlike any other service delivered over the WWW or a dedicated intranet.

Telehealth is the delivery of health related services and information via telecommunications technologies. Previous efforts on telemedicine management have focused on medical care for rural populations, however urban communities will benefit significantly from advances in wireless network design and management. Within the domain of occupational and physical therapy, known as telerehabilitation, expected active benefits to urban communities include greater adherence to rehabilitation protocol due to ease of use and removal of the travel requirement for multiple weekly trips to clinical site and clinical appointments. Additionally, passive benefits are envisioned to include monitoring of the environment, such as balconies, interior and hallway spaces for detection of road and urban pollutants, including cigarette, exhaust, and cleaning products. The integration of active and passive sensing would provide a more complete picture of the therapy client's living environment and the therapy practice within that environment. This information can be provided by the proposed wireless sensor network application.

The behavior of such systems has proven to be difficult to modify and/or extend. The use of mobile software agents has been introduced as an alternative to traditional centralized network management techniques. Mobile software agents provide a decentralized approach to Network Management issues because of the distributive nature of the agents themselves. Mobile software agents can be defined as autonomous software components operating within a network. They perform specialized tasks by traversing the network and working independently or in conjunction with other software components. The problem of bottlenecking or network congestion associated with a centralized manager has been shown to be non-existent with the use of mobile software agents. Mobile Agents in a broad sense are programs that represent a user in a computer network, and are capable of migrating autonomously from node to node, to perform some computations on behalf of the user. In this paper, they have been introduced in an active network environment to dynamically make required changes in the network and also make dynamic network service innovation attainable.

The network protocol deployed in the mobile network is typically based on a wireline network protocol, which is either a connection-oriented network protocol or connectionless network protocol. In this paper, we show that neither of these protocols #ts well for a dynamic mobile network. Instead, we argue that by enabling the network protocol to be adaptive based on the local area mobility situation, the network is able to possess both #exibility of a connectionless network protocol and QoS provisioning capability of a connection-oriented network protocol. As the result, the network can deliver high quality and robust communications under a wide range of mobility extent. The preliminary framework, referred to as the Adaptive Network Protocol #ANP#, is designed to achieve this goal. New concepts and ideas are explored to form the core of the new framework. With packet level performance analysis, weverify that AN...

The participants were exposed to both e-book reading and printed reading for two subject areas and were later tested on the reading materials to gauge their memory retention from the readings. The results of this study suggest that the usefulness and usage of electronic and printed textbooks can differ from person to person based on individual preferences and the subject matter being studied. While traditional printed books took longer to read, the research subjects who used e-books scored 9--10% higher on post-reading assessments.
