MOBILE COMPUTING
Mobile computing is the technology that allows users to connect and transmit
data, audio/voice, and video from one device to another without being tethered to a
stationary area with cabling and wires.

Paradigms on Mobile Computing


 Low power computing. Brings about a focus on energy efficiency and
performance optimization that guarantees reliability just like with other
devices
 Computing in an environment with limited resources. High computing
performance brings about the need to use a lot of resources such as memory
and power. However mobile computing enables a trade-off which ensures low
power consumption, cool operation, and light weight memory consumption.
 Fault tolerance and persistence. Due to distributed nature of mobile
computing design, a service breakdown in one of the nodes is corrected by
services of other functioning nodes.
 Pervasiveness/Ubiquity. Any time any place computing
 Varying User Interfaces. Some interface are voice user interfaces, smaller
display, stylus and other pointing devices, touch-screen displays, and
miniature keyboards.

Limitation of Mobile Computing


1. Resource-poor
a. Battery Packs
b. Hardware: Memory, CPU, and peripherals
c. Software
d. Low bandwidth or high bandwidth
2. Less Secure
a. Lost or stolen
b. Device more vulnerable, endpoint authentication harder
3. Mobile Connectivity
a. Dynamic changes in environment infrastructure
b. Reliability : Disconnections
4. Heterogenous Network
a. Different devices, networks and protocols
5. Need of location awareness
a. Locality adaptation during search and handoffs
