Abstract
The specification and management of Quality of Service (QoS) is important in networks and distributed computing systems, particularly to support multimedia applications. The advent of portable lap-top computers, palmtops and Personal Digital Assistants with integrated communication capabilities facilitates mobile computing. This paper is a survey of QoS concepts and techniques for mobile distributed computing environments. The QoS attributes typically specified and negotiated for general communication systems are described as well as some QoS models. A brief overview is given of some practical systems described in the literature. The design issues relating to both mobile and nomadic computing are explained and then the specific QoS issues related to mobile and nomadic systems are discussed. The conclusion summarises the important issues relating to supporting QoS for mobile systems. Keywords Mobile systems, nomadic systems, quality of service, multimedia Quality of Service in Mobile...
