10. Ch0:10 Tseng:WirelessNet Mobile Computing  Wireless Communication Technology  Portable Computer Technology appearance of light-weight computing devices  Vision: Ubiquitous Computing / Nomadic Computing computers everywhere; information anywhere anytime

11. Ch0:11 Tseng:WirelessNet Features of Wireless Communication  one global bandwidth shared by all users fortunately channels, such as (frequency, time-slot) pairs, can be reused  Radio-based low bandwidth high latency radio communication links higher bit error rate (BER)  fading short-term multipath fading (Rayleigh effect)  due to same signal taking different paths and arriving at the receiver shifted in phase long-term fading (radio shadow)  topology of the terrain (like mountains) can cause signal dropouts  solution: deploying multiple antenna sites

12. Ch0:12 Tseng:WirelessNet Features of Portable Computers  Limited resources: limited energy (battery life) limited CPU speed limited memory  Less reliable, less secure
