    Mobile computing enables users to access and process data without being confined to a single location through portable devices like smartphones and tablets. A mobile agent is a software entity that can move across networks to perform tasks, and context-aware computing provides tailored services by sensing a user's context including identity, location, time and activity. In GSM, the handover decision is based primarily on receiver signal strength - as a mobile device moves between cells, it measures neighboring signal strengths and reports to the network, which initiates a handover when another cell has a stronger signal and sufficient resources. The cellular network architecture includes mobile devices communicating with base stations connected to base station controllers and a mobile switching center.

    Mobile Computing MID-1 Questions Solved By ChatGPT-4

    1. Write a short note on the following: i) Mobile Agent

    Answer: A mobile agent is a software entity that can autonomously move across
    networks and systems to perform tasks on behalf of a user. It has the ability to
    suspend its execution at any point, transport itself to a new environment, and
    resume execution from the point of suspension.

    2. Write a short note on the following: ii) Context-aware Computing

    Answer: Context-aware computing is a type of IT design wherein information


    systems can sense, interpret and respond to aspects of the user's context,
    enhancing the relevance and utility of system outputs. It uses context such as
    user identity, location, time, and activity to provide tailored services.

    3. Briefly describe the logical function of Mobile Computing.

    Answer: Mobile computing refers to the capability of computing on the go,


    through devices that are not fixed to a central location. The logical function of
    mobile computing is to enable users to access, process, transmit, and receive
    data without being confined to a single location. This is achieved through the use
    of portable devices like smartphones, tablets, and laptops that communicate with
    wireless networks, allowing for real-time data exchanges and access to web
    services. Mobile computing supports a range of applications, from simple
    communication and browsing to complex computational tasks, catering to the
    needs of mobile users in various contexts.

    4. How the handover decision takes place in GSM depending on receiver signal
    strength? Explain.

    Answer: In GSM (Global System for Mobile communications), the handover


    decision is a critical process that ensures continuous service as a mobile device
    moves from one cell to another. The decision to handover is primarily based on
    the receiver signal strength, among other factors. Here's a brief explanation:

    1. Measurement Reports: As the mobile device moves, it continually measures the signal
    strength of the current cell's broadcast channel, as well as those of neighboring cells,
    and sends these measurements to the network in what is known as a "measurement
    report."
    2. Thresholds and Margins: The network has predefined thresholds and hysteresis
    margins to prevent unnecessary handovers (due to temporary fluctuations in signal
    strength). When the signal strength of the serving cell falls below a certain threshold, and
    the neighboring cell's signal is stronger by a defined margin, the network considers a
    handover.
    3. Network Evaluation: The network evaluates the measurement reports and decides
    whether a handover is necessary. If the serving cell's signal is weak and a neighboring
    cell has a significantly stronger signal, the network may initiate a handover.
    4. Handover Decision: If the signal strength of the neighboring cell is consistently better
    than the current cell, and the target cell has sufficient resources to accept a new
    connection, the network decides to perform a handover.
    5. Handover Execution: The network sends a handover command to the mobile device,
    directing it to switch to the new cell. The mobile device then tunes to the frequency of the
    target cell, and if successful, the call or data session continues without interruption.

    The entire process aims to maintain the quality of service for active calls and data sessions,
    providing users with seamless connectivity as they move geographically across different cell
    boundaries.

    5. Draw the architecture of a cellular network.

    Answer: The architecture of a cellular network includes mobile devices that


    communicate wirelessly with base stations. Base stations are connected to base
    station controllers, which manage radio resources and are in turn connected to a
    mobile switching center. The mobile switching center is the central point for call
    routing and is connected to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) and
    other mobile switching centers.
