Standard practice dictates that mobile telephone service providers remain accurately aligned with the dynamic expectations structure of the target mobile telephone service users they serve. To comply with this requirement, literature sources assert that service providers need to adopt a candid marketing research orientation to understand what the users expect and in-build it in their service designs. Theory further contends that if such a business stance is diligently applied, any service provider is bound to gain a competitive edge in the market place. Notwithstanding the aforementioned, serv

Abstract:

This dissertation develops an analytic framework to undertake cell design in a cellular system. The cell is modeled in a broader sense than ever done before. In our analytical model, we incorporated the use of guard channels, queueing of new calls, and hybrid channel allocation. A numerically stable and efficient solution to a queueing system with two arrival streams having reserved and borrowable servers has been developed. This queueing system is used to model the cell behavior. The model provides valuable insights into the behavior of the cell, and this in turn has been used to devise an ef

Vision based technology such as motion detection has long been limited to the domain of powerful processor intensive systems such as desktop PCs and specialist hardware solutions. With the advent of much faster mobile phone processors and memory, a plethora of feature rich software and hardware is being deployed onto the mobile platform, most notably onto high powered devices called smart phones. Interaction interfaces such as touchscreens allow for improved usability but obscure the phone’s screen. Since the majority of smart phones are equipped with cameras, it has become feasible to combine

Abstract:

The frequency spectrum allocated to cellular mobile telephone systems is very limited. Efficient channel assignment schemes can significantly increase the utilization of the available frequency channels. Virtually Fixed Channel Assignment (VFCA) is a dynamic channel assignment method. The idea behind it is simple: each cell is allocated a set of nominal channels. A call request generated in a cell is assigned a nominal channel if one is available. Otherwise, a channel from an adjacent cell is borrowed to serve this call as long as frequency interference constraints are satisfied. VFCA is a pro

With a questionnaire and focus group study we try to find out the underlying reasons why users buy new phones while their old ones are still functional. Since this is not a new subject, we try to map the problems we encounter in our study to the four already defined forms described above, and we try to see

Abstract:

AbstractThe FENIX project has started to develop future business models for the efficient recovery of secondary resources. It would not be enough just to improve business models based on traditional linear approaches. Rather, new approaches must be developed with a particular focus on environmental and climate changes. Electronic scrap is no longer scrap, but must be seen as valuable material. Using the mobile phone as an example, FENIX has developed technologies to get recyclable materials out of scrapped mobile phones and to process them into new materials and final products. The developed technological approaches are not limited to mobile phones, but can be used for all types of electronic waste. FENIX has only focused on the logistic chain from the dismantling of the cell phones to the manufacturing of new materials and products (recycling chain). This, of course, involves a lot of effort in dismantling the e-waste, as the recycling process was not yet considered when developing the products currently on the market. Such eco-design approaches would certainly reduce the disassembly effort in the future. FENIX business models should not only be based on economic success but also consider ecological effects at the same time. Therefore, an accompanying Life Cycle Performance Assessment (LCPA) has been carried out to prove the advantages of the developed business models. From the interim assessment, recommendations for further technical development directions were repeatedly given to achieve the best possible economic and ecological solutions.

Abstract:

The purpose of this chapter is to discuss cell phones in the classroom before and after the pandemic. The author discusses the problematic history of cell phones in the classroom, and how teachers have struggled and fought against them, many times outright banning cell phones. Instead of this approach, the case is made for the need for students to learn how to use them, and why they are so useful in the classroom for both formative assessment and feedback. Next, this chapter discusses how the author leveraged cell phones during the period of crisis instruction at the end of the 2019-2020 school year. The author was able to launch and successfully complete a unit that combined social justice themes, graphic novels, and podcasting – all of which utilizing cell phones. Finally, specific tools, resources, and strategies are shared and discussed that were used during this time, with recommendations for the future of education no matter how it may look.

Abstract:

Through qualitative measures, this article seeks to explore the efficacy of cell phones within college-level instructional design specifically through the eyes of the professor. Three main themes evolved from this data: Pedagogical Approaches, Value, and Setting Behavioral Expectations. Based on interviews with ten college professors regarding their experiences with the use of mobile devices within instructional design, findings show that when establishing the right balance with intentional and/or impromptu pedagogical approaches, that value and motivation is evident. Setting behavioral expectations was recommended by all participants in order to convey solid expectations; all expectations were unique, yet successful within the participants' classroom. Participants discussed their experiences within all of those areas and how they utilize cell phones to motivate students, how they set appropriate boundaries, and the overall effectiveness of the cell phone usage in the college classroom is explored.

Abstract:

As the number of students with access to cell phones increases, so do opportunities to bridge the technology divide that may exist among them. With the shift towards virtual learning gaining momentum, now is the time for teachers to increase their digital footprints in the classroom, and utilizing available mobile devices is one way to increase digital access for all. Coinciding with the ease of access to mobile technology is the growing research that supports the adoption of multiliteracies to foster readers and writers who can participate in and impact the world around them with nontraditional forms of communication. Digital multimodal compositions (DMCs) are digital texts created through the use of various modes, including written text, audio, visual, and other interactive media. DMCs are an effective way to incorporate both mobile technology and multiple literacies into both face-to-face and virtual curricula.

This chapter seeks to compare and contrast a classroom without student cell phone use in 2000 to the ubiquitous use of cell phones in today's classroom and society. Cell phone use and how to include them in today's classroom is a hot topic in school systems and teacher education programs in America and therefore relevant to establishing instructional guidelines for cell phone inclusion in the classroom. The author will share lived classroom experience in the 20 years from cell phone infancy to usage by more than 90% of students in today's classroom. The author will share effective use of cell phones in the classroom and pitfalls to allowing cell phones in the class without a well-planned instruction basis for cell phone use.
