Mobile IP
A standard that allows users with mobile devices whose IP addresses are associated with one network to stay connected when moving to a network with a different IP address.
When a user leaves the network with which his device is associated (home network) and enters the domain of a foreign network, the foreign network uses the Mobile IP protocol to inform the home network of a care-of address to which all packets for the user’s device should be sent.
Mobile IP is most often found in wireless WAN environments where users need to carry their mobile devices across multiple LANs with different IP addresses.
A common analogy to explain Mobile IP is when someone moves his residence from one location to another. Person moves from Boston to New York. Person drops off new mailing address to New York post office. New York post office notifies Boston post office of new mailing address. When Boston post office receives mail for person it knows to forward mail to person’s New York address.

Mobile Station Application Execution Environment (MexE) is a framework to ensure a predictable environment for third-party applications in GSM or UMTS handsets. MExE does this by defining different technology requirements called classmarks. MExE classmark 1 is based on WAP, classmark 2 on PersonalJava and JavaPhone, and classmark 3 on J2ME CLDC and MIDP. Other classmarks […]
- Mobile Switching Center
Abbreviated as MSC the mobile switching center connects calls by switching the digital voice data packets from one network path to another (also called routing). The MSC also provides the information that is needed to support mobile service subscribers, such as user registration and authentication information.
- Modbus TCP/IP
Modbus TCP/IP specification was developed in 1999 to combining a ubiquitous physical network (Ethernet) with a universal networking standard (TCP/IP) and a vendor-neutral data representation. Modbus TCP/IP used the Modbus instruction set and wraps TCP/IP around it. See Modbus protocol.

An an application layer messaging protocol at Level 7 of the OSI Model that provides client/server communication between devices connected on different types of buses or networks. The Modbus messaging structure was developed by Modicon in 1979. Different versions of Mopdbus used today include Modbus RTU (based on serial communication like RS485 and RS232), Modbus […]
