Name : Rakesh Ratan Garigipati Course : CS 898T Research Paper Proposal Topic : Mobile Networking in the Internet Major Goals : 1. Introduction 2. Different Layers Considerations viz. Physical layer, Link Layer, Network Layer and Transport Layer. 3. Middleware 4. Security 5. Ad-hoc networking 6. Conclusion Scope : Recent study about the Mobile and Wireless computing shows that mobile computers and their wireless links will become an integral part in future of the internetworks. This paper tries to outline some of the many interesting research and directions. The population of the internet will soon be dominated by computers that are capable of attaching to the internet that are likely to grow in popularity in many places. The research of protocol has gained intensity to develop suitable networking protocols that support mobility to a greater extent. The protocol called snoop helps in improving efficiency of TCP in wireless networks. This protocol is discussed in this paper. References : 1. Charles E. Perkins. Mobile Networks and Applications.
