Communication Asymmetry

Intrinsically asymmetric Mobile communication

between the mobile device and static computer system.

Device allocated a limited bandwidth. Because of a large number of devices.

Communication Asymmetry (cont..)

Bandwidth in the downstream from the server to

device much larger than the one in the upstream from

the device to server

Because mobile devices have limited power resources. Faster data transmission rates for long intervals of GSM

time need greater power dissipation from the devices.

Rates go up to a maximum of 14.4 kbps for both uplink

and downlink. Symmetric communication and used for voice communication

Communication Asymmetry (cont..)

i- Mode

Used for voice, multimedia transmission, Internet

access, voice communication.

Base station provides down link 384 kbps and Up link from the devices restricted to 64 kbps. Asymmetric communication

Characteristics of Mobile communication

Wireless signals

Interference and time dispersion. Signal distortion and transmission error.

Path loss and signal fading results data loss

Latency issue.

Low storage capacity of mobile device.

Broadcasting

Corresponds to unidirectional (down link from

the server to the devices).

Unicast communication Unicast means

the transmission of data packets in a computer

network such that a single destination receives the packets.

This destination generally the one which has

subscribed to the service.

Classification of Data- Delivery Mechanism

Push-based mechanisms (publish subscribe Pull-based mechanisms (on-demand mode). Hybrid mechanisms (hybrid mode).

mode).

Push-based Mechanism

Server pushes data records from a set of Examples of reports, distributed stock quotes, computing: and news

distributed computing systems.

advertisers or generators of traffic congestion, weather reports.

Push-based Mechanism (cont..)

Push-based Mechanism (cont..)

Data pushed as per the subscription for a push

service by a user.

Pushing Algorithm

The structure of data records to be pushed is

selected.
Data is pushed at selected time intervals using adaptive algorithm.

Bandwidths adapted for downlink (for pushes) using an

algorithm. A mechanism also adopted to stop pushes when a device is handed over to another cell.

Push-based Mechanism (cont..)

Advantages:

Enable broadcast of data services to multiple devices. Server is not interrupted frequently by requests from the mobile devices. Best option for the server as they prevent server overload, which may occur due to flooding of device requests

Disadvantages:

Dissemination of unsolicited, irrelevant, or out-ofcontext data. User may not be interested in the disseminated data and may be inconvenienced.

Pull-based Mechanism

User-device or computing system pulls the data

records from the service providers application database server or from a set of distributed computing systems.

On-demand mode from a set of distributed

computing systems, music album server, ring tones server, video clips server, or bank account activity server.

Pull-based Mechanism (cont..)

Pull-based Mechanism (cont..)

Selective response from server:

Records pulled and selective response to demand. Server transmits data packets as response selectively. After client-authentication, verification, or subscription account check.

Pull-based Mechanism (cont..)

Pull based Mechanism

Used for the uplink channel depends upon the number

of pull requests.
Threshold limits the number of pull requests in a given period of time. Controls the number of server interruptions. A mechanism adopted to prevent access when handed

over to another cell. On

device hand off, the

subscription canceled or passed on to the new service

Pull-based Mechanism (cont..)

Advantages:

No unsolicited or irrelevant data arrives at the device Relevant data disseminated only when the user asks for it. Best option when the server has very little contention and is able to respond to many device requests within expected time intervals.

Pull-based Mechanism (cont..)

Disadvantages:

Server faces frequent interruptions and queues of requests at the server may cause congestion in cases of sudden rise in demand for certain data record (s). The energy and bandwidth required for On-demand mode when sending the requests for hot items and temporal records (records changing with time) large. A large number of devices making requests to the service provider choke the network. The server is flooded with interruptions.
