This book presents effective ways to partition mobile devices such
that the enterprise system access and its information are
completely separated from the personal information. For those using
mobile devices for personal and business purposes, the ability to
keep the data secure and separate is critical. The applications for
security in smart platforms range from personal email accounts to
global enterprise systems. Several approaches for mobile
virtualization are described, all creating secure and secluded
environments for enterprise information. The authors present a
reference architecture that allows for integration with existing
enterprise mobile device management systems and provides a
lightweight solution for containerizing mobile applications. This
solution is then benchmarked with several of the existing mobile
virtualization solutions across a range of mobile devices.
Virtualization Techniques for Mobile Systems is an excellent
resource for researchers and professionals working in mobile
systems. Advanced-level students studying computer science and
electrical engineering will also find the content helpful.
This book addresses current technology trends and requirements
leading towards the next era in mobile communication handsets; and
beyond that the book proposes innovative solutions that could be
candidate solutions for 5G phones. It adopts a multidisciplinary
and interdisciplinary stance towards handset design, a necessary
ingredient if 5th Generation handset and services are to really
take-off. Therefore the scope of the book targets a broad range of
subjects, including energy efficiency, RF design, cooperation,
context-aware systems, roaming, and short-range networking, all of
which working in synergy to provide seamless mobility and high
speed connectivity within a HetNet environment. Specifically, the
authors investigate how we can exploit the cooperation paradigm and
context-aware mechanism working in synergy to provide energy
compliant phones that can introduce power savings of up to 50% on
state-of-the-art. Going beyond this, a chapter on business modeling
approaches is also included, based on incentive mechanisms for
cooperation that will provide the necessary leverage to promote the
up-take of the proposed technology.
As lifestyles in personal and public spheres become more fast-paced
and hectic, the need for reliable mobile technologies becomes
increasingly important. Insights into the various impacts of mobile
applications pave the way for future advances and developments in
communication and interaction. Critical Socio-Technical Issues
Surrounding Mobile Computing is a pivotal reference source for
research-based perspectives on the use and application of mobile
technology in modern society. Featuring extensive research on a
variety of topics relating to the social, technical, and behavioral
perspectives of mobile applications, this book is an essential
reference source for mobile application developers, instructors,
practitioners, and students interested in current research on the
impact of mobile devices on individuals and society as a whole.
In this book, three different methods are presented to enhance the
capacity and coverage area in LTE-A cellular networks. The scope
involves the evaluation of the effect of the RN location in terms
of capacity and the determination of the optimum location of the
relay that provides maximum achievable data rate for users with
limited interference at the cell boundaries. This book presents a
new model to enhance both capacity and coverage area in LTE-A
cellular network by determining the optimum location for the RN
with limited interference. The new model is designed to enhance the
capacity of the relay link by employing two antennas in RN. This
design enables the relay link to absorb more users at cell edge
regions. An algorithm called the Balance Power Algorithm (BPA) is
developed to reduce MR power consumption. The book pertains to
postgraduate students and researchers in wireless & mobile
communications.
This book presents the peer-reviewed contributions of ICMWT2016, an
international conference devoted to mobile and wireless technology.
Researchers and professionals from academia and industry met to
discuss the cutting-edge developments in the field. The book
includes papers on mobile and wireless networks, the increasingly
important security issues, data management, as well as the latest
developments in mobile software development.
Human-computer interaction is a growing field of study in which
researchers and professionals aim to understand and evaluate the
impact of new technologies on human behavior. With the integration
of smart phones, tablets, and other portable devices into everyday
life, there is a greater need to understand the influence of such
technology on the human experience. Emerging Perspectives on the
Design, Use, and Evaluation of Mobile and Handheld Devices is an
authoritative reference source consisting of the latest scholarly
research and theories from international experts and professionals
on the topic of human-computer interaction with mobile devices.
Featuring a comprehensive collection of chapters on critical topics
in this dynamic field, this publication is an essential reference
source for researchers, educators, students, and practitioners
interested in the use of mobile and handheld devices and their
impact on individuals and society as a whole. This publication
features timely, research-based chapters pertaining to topics in
the design and evaluation of smart devices including, but not
limited to, app stores, category-based interfaces, gamified
mobility applications, mobile interaction, mobile learning,
pervasive multimodal applications, smartphone interaction, and
social media use.
Just as the steam engine was the driving force behind the
Industrial Revolution, today, broadband Internet is seen as
critical to the transition of knowledge-intensive economies across
the world. As a general purpose technology, broadband Internet is
considered a fundamental driver of economic growth and social
development, releasing the innovative potential and energy of
previously disenfranchised members of the population. Many of the
countries in the Middle East and North Africa region (MENA) now
recognize that broadband Internet is crucial to their efforts to
reduce poverty and create job opportunities, especially for their
young populations and for women. Broadband Networks in the Middle
East and North Africa re-emphasizes the important contribution that
broadband Internet can make and assesses the status of existing
nfrastructure in at least 18 MENA countries. While there is
significant potential across the region, the take-up of broadband
Internet has been slow and the price of broadband service is high
in many countries. In large part, this stems from market structures
that, too often, reflect the past when telecommunications were
treated as a monopoly utility service. The report finds that there
are gaps in infrastructure regionally with no connectivity between
neighboring countries in some cases. Similarly, there are gaps
within countries exacerbating the (digital) divide between rural
and urban areas. "Broadband Networks in the Middle East and North
Africa" examines the regulatory and market bottlenecks that are
hampering the growth of the Internet in these and other MENA
countries: the five North African countries (Algeria, Egypt,
Morocco, Libya, Tunisia); the six Mashreq countries (the Islamic
Republic of Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and the West Bank
and Gaza economy); the six Gulf countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman,
Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates); and Djibouti and
the Republic of Yemen. Last, the report provides policy and
regulatory options for increasing effective use of existing fixed
and mobile infrastructure as well as alternative infrastructure
networks such as power grids and railroads. It explains the
benefits of effective cross-sector infrastructure construction
frameworks, highlighting the need to adjust market structures to
foster competitive behavior among service providers to bring down
prices and stimulate the demand for value-added services to drive
future broadband development.
