An Architecture for Analysis and Collection of RF Signals Used by Hand-Held Devices in Computer Communications

Abstract

This thesis studies the wireless communications aspects of an Internet-connected hand-held device. It reviews the multipath effects of RF propagation and provides a detailed analysis of the Mobitex network protocols. Field experiments were conducted to measure the signal strength of indoor and outdoor reception. A framework for using real-time wireless communications analysis equipment for the collection of this RF signal is designed and discussed. Expected results from the collection of this signal data are presented.
