TY - JOUR AU - AB - LACHHMAN DAS DHOMEJA*, IRFAN ALI SOOMRO*, AND YASIR ARFAT MALKANI** RECEIVED ON 23.02.2015 ACCEPTED ON 14.12.2015 ABSTRACT Pervasive devices such as mobile phones and PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants) come with different wireless communication capabilities, for example, WiFi (Wireless Fidelity), Bluetooth, IrDA (Infrared), etc. In order for pervasive devices to interact with each other, they need to have matching (alike) communication capabilities, otherwise such heterogeneous devices would not be able to interact with each other. In this paper we address this issue and propose a system that makes devices with heterogeneous wireless communication capabilities communicate with each other. The proposed system supports adaptation of wireless communication protocols through a proxy, which sits between a client and a server, and supports adaptation of wireless communication protocols. Its functionality involves intercepting a request made by a client with a different wireless communication capability (e.g. Bluetooth) from what the server has (e.g. WiFi), connecting to the server and then sending results back to the client. We have tested the system by implementing a messaging service application and running it on the system. The proxy supports all Bluetooth protocols, i.e. OBEX (Object Exchange), L2CAP (Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol), RFCOM (Radio Frequency Communication) TI - Supporting Adaptation of Wireless Communication Protocols JF - Mehran University Research Journal of Engineering and Technology DO - 10.22581/muet1982.1604.07 DA - 2016-10-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/unpaywall/supporting-adaptation-of-wireless-communication-protocols-FC85atCI0I DP - DeepDyve ER -
