Background:
 
With the increase in mobile devices that are capable of communicating at high data rates, wireless local area networks (IEEE 802.11) have become very popular access networks enabling connectivity to the Internet for hot-spot zones (airports, offices, hotel lounges, cafes, etc.) and also for university and enterprise campuses. In all these cases WLAN users expect access to rich services at higher quality levels on their devices. In this context, the new objective is to keep the mobile user ‘always best connected (ABC)’ anywhere and anytime in a multi-technology multi-application multi-terminal multi-user environment.
 
Aim:
 
The aim of the project is to design and implement an intelligent network detection and selection system in-built in the mobile device, where users have greater control of their terminal behaviour.
The project will use indoor wireless deployment support network and several mobile devices such as: Nokia XpressMusic and Viliv mobile devices.
 
Outcome:
 
The project outcome should be a functional network detection and selection mechanism in-build in the mobile device.
 
Requirements:
 
The student should be able to handle working with mobile devices and must have excellent programming skills with a good knowledge of Symbian C++, C++, Java, Javascript, etc.
