Personalized communications consist of applications and services that are based on access to and manipulation of the user’s personal data. This includes services such as personal information management, calendar and scheduler management, email messaging, unified messaging, chat, and community participation.
Wireless Internet applications will add value to personalized communications by increasing a user’s ability to access personal data while mobile. We’ve all experienced situations where some small piece of data isn’t there when we need it. But no matter how hard we wish we had not forgotten that contact name, phone number, date, or account number, it still refuses to magically appear. Wireless applications will enable users to wirelessly retrieve data that may be typically stored in various other digital systems. These applications will often be a substitute for another method of access but will add value by retrieving just enough data to get the task done.

Key drivers for personalized communication applications are:

•   Time sensitive data. Data that has a very short useful life— wait too long and you’ll miss out on some opportunity.

•   Security and privacy. Data that you might not want to carry a hardcopy of for fear of losing it—account numbers, passwords, and personal information that you’d rather not carry with you.

•   Access to others. Applications that allow users to contact and receive messages from others regardless of the method used by the sender—emails, faxes, voice mail, instant messages, electronic reminders, and other personal communication.

1. The HTTP Request and Response Codes
The HTTP protocol can be likened to a conversation based on a series of questions and answers, which we refer to respectively as HTTP requests and HTTP responses. The contents of HTTP requests and responses are easy to read and understand, being near to plain English in their syntax. This section examines the structure of these requests and responses, along with a few examples of the sorts of data they may contain. The HTTP Request After opening a connection to the intended serv...

2. INFRASTRUCTURE PROTOCOLS AND APPLICATIONS
H.323 H.323 defines packet standards for terminal equipment and services for multimedia communications over local and wide area  networks  communicating  with  systems  connected  to telephony networks such as ISDN. The initial version of this standard  came from the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) in June 1996. It  defines  communication over IP-based local area networks (LANs). A later version (v2), adopted in January 1998, extended it over wide are...

3. Wireless IN Services
The IN protocols and concepts can be used to implement enhanced wireless services rapidly and to have these services available across serving areas in an untethered wireless network. Some of these services are listed below: Voice-Based User Identification. This service employs a form of automatic speech recognition to validate the identity of the speaker. Access to services can then be restricted to the user whose voice (phrase) has been used to train the recognition device. Voice-Based Featur...

4. Wireless LAN and Personal Area Network
The Wireless Internet is not just wireless communications across town or the country. It is also local—sometimes in a home or office building. Wireless LANs are just becoming popular with economically  priced  wireless  Ethernet  equipment.  Standards such as IEEE 802.11, HiperLAN2, and Home RF are leading the way to untethered communications in-building or outside over small areas. Another important development is the Personal Area Network, also known as Bluetooth. Let’s take a look at each of th...

5. The Domain Concept
The solution to all of these problems is the network domain. In a domain, you only have a single name and password, which gets you into every shared PC and printer on the network. Everyone's account information resides on a central computer called a domain controllera computer so important, it's usually locked away in a closet or a data-center room. A domain controller keeps track of who is allowed to log on, who is logged on, and what each person is allowed to do on the network. When you log onto the domain with your PC,...

6. Duplexing Techniques in Wireless communication systems
Wireless communication systems have evolved through several stages of multiple-access control. The foremost controllable resource has always been the frequency spectrum. Other resources such as time, code, and space were initially manipulated in a very precarious and, therefore, ineffective manner. The early systems operated in the simplex mode in the forward link. Halfduplex systems soon appeared, in which forward link and reverse link shared the same channel. Access control was performed on a push-to-talk basis wit...

7. Wireless Networks (WiFi or 802.11)
Millions of people, have embraced the flexibility of a networking system that involves no wires at alla cordless networking technology called WiFi or 802.11 ("eight-oh-two dot eleven"). (Your Macintosh friends probably call the same thing AirPort, because that's what Apple calls it.) To get onto a wireless network, your PC needs a WiFi transmitter. Almost every laptop sold today has WiFi built in. You can also add it to a desktop in the form of a wireless card or USB adapter; either way, you gain a little antenna. Once...
