Fractal Analysis of Intraflow Unidirectional Delay Over W-LAN and W-WAN Environments

This paper has analysed unidirectional delay traces of a diverse set of IPv6 microflows routed over W-LAN and W-WAN environments. Using a number of time-domain and frequency-domain estimators the paper examines the existence and intensity of long-range dependence in packet delay when viewed as time-series data. The correlation structures of...

Accurate Vehicular Positioning Using a DAB-GSM Hybrid System

The Global Position System GPS and the Global Navigation Satellite System GLONASS are based on a satellite system. Much work has been carried out on a non-satellite positioning system using the existing Global System of Mobile Communications GSM infrastructure. This leads to a GPS-GSM positioning system that manufacturers claim to...

Distributed Systems Support for Adaptive Mobile Applications

Mobile applications must operate in environments which experience rapid and significant fluctuations in the Quality of Service QoS offered by their underlying communications infrastructure. These fluctuations may be the result of explicit changes between networks, increased competition for network resources or degradation of service due to environmental factors. In order...

Limbo: A Tuple Space Based Platform for Adaptive Mobile Applications

Mobile computing environments are characterised by significant and rapid changes in their supporting infrastructure and, in particular, in the Quality-of-Service QoS available from their underlying communications channels. Applications which can operate in these environments and take advantage of changing QoS require distributed systems support platforms. The current state-of-the-art in such...
