“…Occasional drops in signal strength frequently resulted in a cell tower change. This is expected behaviour as defined in the GSM standard [7]. In some cases changing cell towers translated into both increased transmission time and delay; in others, the tower change had no effect.…”

The Short Message Service (SMS) is one of the most ubiquitous wireless technologies on Earth. Each year hundreds of billions of messages are sent, demand continues to grow, and competition between cellular providers is driving prices down. These trends create practical opportunities for SMS in today's mobile systems. In this paper we present the design and implementation of a robust SMS-based data channel, or SMS-NIC, that runs on a variety of mobile platforms. Through integration with an existing mobile system, we show that the SMS-NIC has little operational overhead and provides efficient, reliable transport for large messages sent over the cellular network.We motivate the design of the SMS-NIC through a characterization of SMS using workloads consisting of bursts of messages between cell phones tethered to Linux PCs and between smartphones. This analysis differs from previous SMS studies by focusing on transmission patterns that differ from normal SMS use. Through this characterization we show that bidirectional traffic and the choice of hardware have a significant effect on transmission rate, delay, and message reordering. We also show that burst size has no effect on SMS, losses are rare, and messages may be duplicated during transport.

“…Hundreds of thousands of young people can access the internet access from their wireless application protocol (WAP)-enabled mobile phones, Smartphone and from their PCs using their phones as a modem. That is mainly owing to the introduction of general packet radio service (GPRS) connectivity by the global system of mobile communications operators (Peersman, 2000).…”

Abstract:The paradigm shift to e-commerce in business transactions provides significant advantages such as expanding markets, improving customer services, reducing costs, and enhancing productivity. The global phenomenon is less aggressive in developing economies where small and medium enterprises struggle to provide internet services at their own expense due to limited government support and infrastructural deficiency. The acceptance of e-commerce adoption among Nigerians is slow irrespective of the huge population which should be of an advantage. This study investigated the factors hindering the adoption of e-commerce among Nigerians. A quantitative approach through a survey method was utilised with a total of 150 questionnaires distributed to Nigerian post graduate students studying at a Malaysian university. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS 16) was used to analyse the data. This study finds among others that poor infrastructural facilities are the major factors hindering e-commerce adoption among Nigerians.

With the recent year's steps forward and progressive growth in M-Technology (Mobile Technology), an assortment of business activities can be coordinated through remote frameworks (Wireless Networks). Mobile Commerce (MCommerce) is experiencing quick advancement to the extent capacities of phones, services, applications, network and standard execution. Regardless, this speedy change of M-Tech and the advancement of Mobile Commerce models are reflected about low in Mobile Commerce determination rate. We have outlined here that the modeling of the income streams among the business segment players is the basic role behind low determination/adaption rate.
