  10. Introduction • Ubiquitous applications need to access relevant remote external information and tasks, anywhere and anytime. • Different applications require different combinations of network functions and services, e.g., data streaming, minimal jitter, specific media access control etc. • Different networks support different sets of communication functions in different ways. Ubiquitous computing: smart devices, environments and interaction

  11. Introduction Key design issues: • Should comms functions be largely transparent to services (network-oriented) versus should comms be exposed via some interfaces & configured / controlled by services (service-oriented). • Should networked services be accessible from anywhere versus selectively accessing networked services, e.g., some services may be limited to a locality? Ubiquitous computing: smart devices, environments and interaction

  12. Introduction • Many general and introductory texts and descriptions about networking are specialised towards specific types of networks, e.g., • ??? • An interpretation of UbiCom: • Ubiquitous Communication • Any content on any network, anytime, anywhere • Hence, complete range of different media networks is treated holistically here Ubiquitous computing: smart devices, environments and interaction

  13. Network Communication Functions Communication involves the following key functions: • Encoding and Modulation • Signal Distribution • Channel sharing and efficiency: • Medium Access Control (MAC) • Logical Link Control (LLC • Error checking and correction: • Data Transfer Control • buffered vs. unbuffered. • Asynchronous vs. synchronous • Data Routing • Message security • Metadata: • Transcoding.
