Networking Demands • Instantaneity, location-independence, mobility • “Anything-Anytime-Anywhere” • nomadic computing • Consolidation of data sources • Phone, PDA, fax, computer, TV, radio, beeper • Multimedia • But: • Internet is principally land-based (fiber) • Phone, cellular and Internet systems are distinct • Devices do not talk to each other • Bandwidth too low for multimedia

Quality of Service (QoS) • Three kinds of packets • Data (delay tolerable) • Voice (delay < 200 ms tolerable) • Video (little delay) • Must meet packet delivery-time requirements • Must treat different packets differently
A QoS Problem - DELAY Usability of Voice Circuit as a Function of End-to-End Delay • To hit the target: • Eliminate PC delay • Lower network latency • Tighten network jitter Usability factor Fax Relay,Fax Broadcast Toll Quality Satellite CB Radio I-Phone Today Time (msec) SOURCE: CISCO
Voice Quality vs. Cost Utility Business Unacceptable Toll Cellular Voice PCM Voice over ATM Cost Voice over Frame Relay (Intranet) (Internet) Voice over IP Quality
Quality of Service on 1 Slide • Routers cannot not store state information about packets: too slow. • Technique: mark each packet with a simple flag indicating how to treat it.
Differentiated Forwarding • Each router sorts packets into queues via differentiated services (DS) flag • Queues get different treatment (e.g. priority, share of bandwidth, probability of discard) • Result is coarsely predictable class of service for each DS field value. • Cost of transmission varies by type of service.
Converged Networks: Value Proposition • Value goes up with distance • Value goes up with ubiquity across the Enterprise • Value goes up with integrated functionality • Value goes up with quality Value

Bluetooth A standard permitting for wireless connection of: • Personal computers • Printers • Mobile phones • Handsfree headsets • LCD projectors • Modems • Wireless LAN devices • Notebooks • Desktop PCs • PDAs
Bluetooth Characteristics • Operates in the 2.4 GHz Industrial-Scientific-Medical (ISM) (unlicensed)! band. Packet switched. 1 milliwatt. Low cost. • 10m to 100m range • Uses Frequency Hop (FH) spread spectrum, which divides the frequency band into a number of hop channels. During connection, devices hop from one channel to another 1600 times per second • Bandwidth 1-2 megabits/second • Supports up to 8 devices in a piconet (two or more Bluetooth units sharing a channel). • Built-in security. • Non line-of-sight transmission through walls and briefcases. • Easy integration of TCP/IP for networking.
Mobile E-Business Challenges • Location dynamically changing • Asymmetric cost function • Low power devices • Limited storage on mobile devices • Frequent disconnection / loss of service • Security • Low display and multimedia capability
