N2 - The Mobile Station Application Execution Environment
(MExE) is a standard, which is aimed at smart mobile
terminals and its purpose is to facilitate intelligent
network services. It is a part of the Virtual Home
Environment, the mobile extension of the Open Service
Architecture. Before a mobile terminal (MT) can download
MExE applications, it must transfer its Composite
Capability / Preference Profile (CC/PP) description to a
MExE server. This master thesis proposes strategies for
the transfer of CC/PP descriptions to the MExE servers.
The utilised research method is a constructive research
method that is based on abstract analysis of written
material of the studied subject.
The CC/PP description may originate from multiple sources
and there must be a clearly defined strategy for
transferring it to the MExE server. A MT must be able to
manage dynamically its resources in MExE. This thesis has
three research problems: what should be the source of the
MT's CC/PP description, what is a feasible CC/PP
description transfer strategy for MTs and what are the
dynamic resource management requirements of the mobile
terminal?
The proposed CC/PP strategy suggests fetching the CC/PP
description in fragments from servers in the network and
from the MT. This considerably improves the efficiency of
CC/PP transfer in mobile networks. Changes to the
capabilities of the MT can be transmitted when necessary
to the MExE server. MExE satisfies the requirements
defined by the thesis and it has potential to become a
widely used standard.
The following studies will concentrate on designing
decision capabilities for a MExE server and a common
resource vocabulary for MTs. The designed server will
also support dynamic resource maintenance for MTs. A test
environment will be constructed, which allows for a
closer evaluation of present and future results.
