Catalog Description
The objective of this consortium is to shape and expand a full-scale and sound mobile
computing system market. To achieve this, cooperation is required of interests related to
communication (network), computer hardware/software, system integrators (including
service providers), and the media.
Course Objectives
The objective of this course is to
1. Give a general overview of the cellular technology and the associated terms and
discuss the generations of the mobile technologies starting from 1G to 3G techniques.
2. Illustrate the GPRS and WAP model for 2G internet connectivity in detail.
3. Elaborate the third-generation mobile services
4. Describe the Global Mobile Satellite Systems in detail and basic architecture of
Bluetooth technology and advanced topics in mobile computing.
Course Outcomes
On completion of this course, the students will be able to
CO1: Explain the basic concepts mobile technology, computing and basic architecture of PCS
and GSM.
CO2: Describe the mobile networking Infrastructure through 2G technologies (GSM, GPRS,
WAP).
CO3: Explain the basic concepts of 3G technologies (WCDMA, CDMA 2000) and WLL.
CO4: Discuss the working of mobile satellite systems like IRIDIUM and GLOBALSTAR.
CO5: Explain the concepts of Bluetooth technology, its working and protocols, virtual
networks and enterprise networks.
