Discussion of the Articles

Discuss about the Mobile Computing for Services and Mobile Platforms.

The motivation for the location based services is based on assisting the right information at the real time with a proper personalized setup. In this present era, the focus has been mainly on dealing with the smartphones which can replace the desktops for the computation. There have been needs that cater with the help of the LBS. This has been able to have a considerable growth with the increased Portable Personal Digital Assistance based e-commerce. There have been increased customer awareness with the support of the government initiative who are playing a major role in the adoption, motivation of the vendors and the start-ups. (Li et al., 2015). With the proper analysis of the detailed service, technology, and the social issues, there is a need to apply the development and adoption of the location-based services. As per the standardization, the big effort is made when there is a network and application side. This includes the release of the 3G networks and the programs which incur to the location technology independency.

According to Vanjire et al., they have focused on the Android Operating system mobile platform which consists of the virtual machine that can run on the Linux Kernel with the APIs. Hence, there have been LBS services where the mobile application has been found to be completely dependent on the location of the mobile device. (Shen et al., 2015). With this, there has been a repositioning of the LBS applications for properly determining the mobile device of the user. The problem has been clearly stated to determine the understanding of the current landscape of the location-based services and the factors which influence the service development.

Renuka et al. have focused on analyzing the factors which have a major impact on the location-based services. As per the research, there have been current location based investigations to properly determine the transactions to a commercialized transaction that is conducted through the network interface with the wireless devices. (Hu et al., 2015). The problem has been clearly stated where the LBA is the mobile computing application which can provide the information and enough functionality to the users as per the geographical location.

The research has been able to cover the research literature where there has been a focus on the new area for the developers who focus on the cellular services, network operations, and the service providers to help and develop the value added services. This advice the clients of the current conditions along with providing them enough information which helps the users to find the shopping malls and the other important things. (Jung et al., 2015).

Qualitative vs Quantitative Research

The wireless communication technology can combine with the Internet-enabled terminals where there has been the realization of business transactions. The technological infrastructure consists of the mobile networks, terminals and the positioning of the technologies. This involves the actors and the mobile users to provide a proper content. The M-commerce has been considered to be the best-emerging topic in the recent times. (Boticki et al., 2015). According to Renuka, the development of the mobile networks is based on the time division multiple access, global system for the mobile and the code division multiple access. This is based on handling the 2G networks with a certain capacity range. With the downstream and upstream records, there is proper allowing the users to manage the location to access the rights of the different applications for the third-party. (Zhu et al., 2015). This includes the location information along with holding the operations which are the person or the device oriented. The mobile e-commerce has been able to set a proper LBS communication where there is a possibility to support the GPRS, Bluetooth, and MMS inbuilt or the attachable camera. There have been sophisticated patterns where the platform is set for the operation systems to take hold of the complete location independence.

For satisfying the objectives of the journal work, there has been a qualitative research. The major characteristics have been that it can deliver the small samples with the outcome which are not considered to be completely quantifiable. (Sanakulov et al., 2015). The basic focus has been to offer the description and analysis without the limitations of the research and the nature of the response. The effective qualitative research is based on the skills and the abilities of the researchers. There have been results which are based on:

The qualitative research that aims for the complete description that has been performed in the work. The researchers may only be recommended at the earlier phase of the project where the design is completely unfolded. The data gathering has been in the form of words, pictures and the objects. The subjective individual interpretation of the events is important with the in-depth interviews. The researcher needs to focus on immersing the subjective matters. The qualitative research is based on the documents, interviews and the observations. With the multiple data sources, one can provide the rich source of information which has been used widely. (Liao et al., 2015).

Location-Based Services and Mobile Networks

The quantitative research is based on the aim to classify the features with counting and constructing the models mainly. There has been a major recommendation on the different phases of the research. The tools like the objectives and the database surveys have been important and can cover a larger portion of the research. The limitation is based on the scope of the data sources.

As per the research, there have been certain confidentiality reasons which are based on the emergency services that are for the tracking, navigation, information and billing. The operators can provide the information with the protection of privacy. (Andrews et al., 2016).

Considering the research, there have been a focus on the person oriented applications with the service which is user based and applying the focus on the applications to determine the position of the person. The control is based on the device oriented applications that have the external use which focuses on the needs and the tracking of the theft. According to Renuka et al., the focus has been on the application layer and the middleware layer to handle the operations of the network. This will be able to simplify the integration components with the data collection and analysis. As per the GIS application package, there is a possibility to create edit and analyze the spatial and attribute data which contains the package of the GIS functions. (Goggin et al., 2015).

Vanjire has been focusing on location tracking through the keeping of the records on the current user locations and then notifying the other components as well about the same. The support is based on sending the notification to users with the determination of a distinct location that defined the geo-casting features. There have been certain queries of location tracking to generate the movement models. The research approach is based on the specific observations and the theories so that a proper conclusion can be inferred from this. Hence, the major weakness of the inductive approach is that it can produce the generalized theories and the conclusions which are based on the smaller number of the observations along with the reliability results. (Paschke, 2016). With the changing information and technology, the countries have been able to improve the competition between the operators of mobile emergency services where there is a trend in the world to accelerate the location based service development.

As per the study, there has been proper telecommunication process which can provide the new services and the technology help to the people. But there have been restrictions which are based on the control traffic flow and the malicious network which can cause a disruption in the network. Hence, it is important to focus on the multi-hop broadcasting which will help in a proper evaluation of the message and avoid the broadcast storming problems.

Conclusion

In this, the research process is based on handling the participation with the nature of explaining the scope of the study. The data has been analyzed depending upon the personal interviews, and the major advantage for the same is the analysis of the content. This helps in holding a proper result with the measurements done through the quantitative techniques. This gives the ability for the researchers to properly structure the data that has been collected with the ability to satisfy the accomplishments of the research objectives. (Andrew et al., 2016).

As per the research, there have been systems to determine the location of the mobile object which is based on tracking, positioning and the cell of origin. This includes the tracking which is equipped properly with the specific tags or the badges. It allows the sensor networks to easily acquire the positions where the information of the location is important. The object needs to handle the location of the data with the sensor networks that have been to transfer the information. For the location-based services, the mobile services have been able to have a considerable growth that is based on the network technology which includes the 2G and 3G network. The "always-on" data connection with the higher rates of the data transfer includes the charging with the per user value processes. The technology involves the standardization where the effort has been made to the vendors and the other parties to promote the solution for the location based services which are mainly the network and the location technology.

As per the current study approach, there have been participants who reported about their acceptance of the participation in the research through the signed consent and the Briefing letter. The sample members have been asked to sing a Debriefing letter and the Withdrawal letter as well, where the aim has been to make sure that the participation has been in the research which is completely voluntary based on the free withdrawal procedures for any point and anytime. (Goggin et al., 2015).

The participants were also informed about the objectives of the study which included the confidential treatment and the academic purposes based on the research. There is a need to focus on the research where the participants are not harmed and abused both physically and psychologically. This is mainly through the conduction of the research where in contrast the researcher can create and maintain the climate of comfort.

For a proper research, there is a need for the interviews which are used for the personal and the unstructured aims. This will help in identifying about the emotions, feelings and the opinions which are about the particular research. The major focus has been on the interviews which will involve the personal and the direct contact and eliminate the non-responsive rates. The interviewers need to handle the development of necessary skills to carry the interview. Hence, for the unstructured interviews, this offer a flexibility with the flow that leaves the room for the generation of conclusion.

With the risks that the data collection may have, there is a need to properly conduct the research which involves the semi-structured questionnaire and the interview guide for the researcher. This helps in setting a satisfaction of the research objectives with certain additional questions that are made to encounter at the time of interview.

Hence, the data collection includes the questionnaires:

1. How the issues are addressed for achieving a proper and a rapid development?
2. How there have been differences which might be able to slow down the progress depending upon the location based service development and the mobile ecommerce?

The positioning technology has been able to cover the short range wireless technology to handle the wider area of the mobile telecommunication network which covers both the indoor and the outdoor applications. The project focuses on how to handle the infrastructure with the wireless networking technology. The focus has been on the technology constraints which enable the growth of the LBS which has a wider availability of the GPS-enabled handsets. The infrastructure constraints are considered to be the major problem where the paper proposed the development of the Android Application that has been able to provide a different location based service like the changing of the profile of the mobile. This includes the location positioning technologies, query processing, and the cache management which are important to set the applications in an effective manner. (Paczkowski et al., 2016).

The research is about the time of the arrival and the signals that are transferred between the transmitter and the receiver. A proper GIS is important for incorporating the geographical features inorder to map, analyze and assess the real world problems. The application software package has been able to handle the creation, editing and analyzing the attribute data with the entry of the data in the upstream locations information. The device oriented applications are external to the user which focus on the position of the person. Hence, the research has been done adequately depending upon the technology.

The major focus has been on finding the accurate location through the research which fixes in meters where the users can cover the positions with a different accuracy of the location. This can provide the personal with the best model support to obtain the user locations. The method of the sampling has been able to develop the research which can categorize the non-probability sampling techniques. The method belongs to the sample members who are selected by the knowledge, technology and the relationships of the research project. There has been involvement of the understanding with proper research about the raw data which concerns about the destination location.

Conclusion

With the changing positioning technology, there has been certain short range wireless technology to cover the wide area mobile communication network and the location based services which are important for both the indoor and the outdoor applications. The research has mainly been focusing on how to approach towards the android locations API to retrieve the Location information of the user. (Goggin et al., 2015). This includes the location manager where the class can provide proper access to the location service with the facilitate to get the best location provider. Through this, there has been a proper setup of the applications to provide the API access to the Google maps. The analysis is based on the LBS deployment with the operating system capability, user interface design and the positioning techniques that can hold the network capabilities.
