Mobile Communication A communication device can exhibit one of the
following characteristics:
Fixed and Wired
Typical desktop computer in an office.
Mobile and Wired
Many of today’s Laptop, users carry the laptop from one hotel to the next, reconnecting to the company’s network via the telephone network and a modem.
Fixed and Wireless
This mode is used for installing networks, e.g., in historical buildings to avoid damage by installing wires, or at trade shows to ensure fast network setup.
Mobile and wireless

Applications
Vehicles
Today’s cars already comprise some, but tomorrow’s cars will comprise many wireless communication systems and mobility aware applications.
Music, news, road conditions, weather reports, and other broadcast information are received via digital audio broadcasting (DAB) with 1.5 Mbit/s.
For personal communication, a universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) phone might beavailable offering voice and data connectivity with 384 kbit/s.
For remote areas, satellite communication can be used, while the current position of the car is determined via the global positioning system (GPS).

Cont… Fully connected cars,
Ultimate purpose is to enable drivers to be smarter, safer, greener and more productive on the road.

Applications Cars driving in the same area build a local ad-hoc
network for the fast exchange of information in emergency situations or to help each other keep a safe distance.
In case of an accident, not only will the airbag be triggered, but the police and ambulance service willbe informed via an emergency call to a service provider.
In the future, cars will also inform other cars aboutaccidents via the ad-hoc network to help them slow down in time, even before a driver can recognize an accident.
Buses, trucks, and trains are already transmitting maintenance and logistic information to their home base, which helps to improve organization (fleet management), and saves time and money

Emergencies
Just imagine the possibilities of an ambulance with a high-quality wireless connection to a hospital.
Vital information about injured persons can be sent to the hospital from the scene of the accident.
All the necessary steps for this particular type of accident can be prepared and specialists can be consulted for an early diagnosis.
Wireless networks are the only means of communication in the case of natural disasters such as hurricanes or earthquakes.
In the worst cases, only decentralized, wireless ad-hoc networks survive.

Business
A travelling salesman today needs instant access to the company’s database: to ensure that files on his or her laptop reflect the current situation, to enable the company to keep track of all activities of their travelling employees, to keep databases consistent etc.
With wireless access, the laptop can be turned into a true mobile office, but efficient and powerful synchronization mechanisms are needed to ensure data consistency.

Cont… Replacement of wired networks
In some cases, wireless networks can also be used to replace wired networks, e.g., remote sensors, for tradeshows, or in historic buildings.
Due to economic reasons, it is often impossible to wire remote sensors for weather forecasts, earthquake detection, or to provide environmental information.

Infotainment and More…..
Internet everywhere? Not without wireless networks!
Imagine a travel guide for a city.
Static information might be loaded via CD-ROM, DVD, or even at home via the Internet.
But wireless networks can provide up-to-date information at any appropriate location.
The travel guide might tell you something about the history of a building (knowing via GPS, contact to a local base station, or triangulation where you are) downloading information about a concert in the building at the same evening via a local wireless network.

Mobile Communication Market
Although the growth in wireless and mobile communication systems has slowed down, these technologies have still a huge market potential.
More and more people use mobile phones, wireless technology is built into many cars, wireless data services are available in many regions, and wireless local area networks are used in many places.
Figure next slide, shows the increasing number of subscribers to mobile phone services worldwide (GSM World, 2002). 136.5 million GSM Subscribers in Pakistan in May, 2014
