3. dominates other network operators.(eg .kddi
network which use wap)
ntt docomo decides its own formats..ie.,e-
mail,web access and picture exchange…
that was a big success. more than 30 million
users in three years….
info:”it dominates wap” wap was a failure

4. Packet PDC-P) Personal Digital Cellular-
Packet

Digital Cellular-Packet (PDC-P) and a subset of
HTML 3.0 for content description.
 i-mode allows application/content providers to
distribute software (Java applets) to cellular phones
and also allows users to download applets (e.g.,
games)
 the communication and is carried over TCP/IP for
the wired part of the communication.

5. ARQ: special service transport layer protocol
with stop-and-go control.
Tcp/ip: within the operator’s network and
operator’s gateway and a content
provider…ie.,(within different layer1 and layer
http: known as www.imode application to
display web pages , e-mail services which is a

 in i-mode,Stack is used for sending an sms indicating
new e-mail is arrived….
 Wap had to either permanantly open to support
interactive web browsing…
 It was a draw back takes long time,expensive..
 i-mode includes images, animated images and color .
 WAP implementations only use text and no images

9. i-appli: i-mode with Java

14. SyncML

15. A set of protocols and a mark up language for
synchronisation of data in mobile sceanrios
provided by the Syncml framework..
Supported by companies like
nokia,openware,panasonic,starfish.
Vendor independent mechanisms for the
administration of devices and applications

16. Simplifies application designs and usage of
synchronisation mechanisms.
Agents:
 Sync server agents:
 Sync client agents:
Server also as a
 Sync engine

17. Synchronisation run over http,wsp also on
smtp,tcp/ip..
Syncml do not make any assumption data..
 Each data has a unique identifier..
 Clients and servers map to the individual
identifiers…
 Servers knows the mappping details…

18. Two way synchronisation:
 Exchange change logs between server and
client…
Example:
 A client crashed and has a lost all information
a special slow synchronisation is used..

19. First transfers all data from the client to
server.
Server then compares all data and sends the
necessary changes back to client…

20.  One party is interested:
Either client or server..
 Messages exchanged based on xml.
 Tags used:
 <add>,<copy>,<delete>,<replace>
 <atomic>:
 Either all changes or no changes occur.
 If a conflict occurs the data is roll back…
