What is Mobile Communication?

mobile is not identical to wireless examples: o hasnt got anything to do with mobility: hasn t o connect a personal computer at home to a wireless 802.11n base station to avoid installing cables in the house o has a lot to do with mobility: o connect your notebook through a cable in a hotel to the internet o check your email in an internet cafe by webmail

The fi ld f Th field of mobile communications is so dynamic that th bil i ti i d i th t the recommended book may not include some up to date technology. In the lecture we try to give up to date references whenever necessary.

What is Mobile Communication?

ways of mobile network access: o nomadic o the device is connected for a limited time to a bases station. During this time the user doesnt move outside the reach of the base station. After that time the user disconnects and moves to another base station (hot spot) o portable o the device holds a connection with the network while the user moves at walking speed. Simple handover functionality, not necessarily seamless o basic mobile o the device holds a connection for non-real-time applications at vehicle speed, handover and service continuity o f ll mobile fully bil o network connection at vehicle speed for any service, in particular real-time, e.g. voice.

What is Mobile Communication?

mobile communication = location independent (personal) communication more or less possible mobility depends on g o network coverage o range of wireless access o availability and reachability of access points

What is Mobile Communication?

examples of wireless access technology which can be seen under the aspect of mobility: o o o o o o terrestrial cellular networks, e.g. GSM, UMTS, CDMA2000, ... , ,g, wireless LAN 802.11a,b,g,n WiMAX 802.16 Bluetooth satellite communication e g Iridium Thuraya communication, e.g. Iridium, trunked radio, e.g. TETRA

rule of thumb: o the more mobile the more expensive mobile, (measured in $ per bit, $ per bit/s, $ per sec)
