Abstract This research mainly combines: Police policy, transportation, fire control, news, and public affairs. - Use Kaohsiung Wireless platform as a starting point. - PWLAN technology will become the mainstream for the strategic integrated platform. - M-City is able to change people¡¦s original life style; increase life¡¦s mobility and conveniences. - The government wants to develop a wireless service platform in order to promote development of a mobile city. Kaohsiung City Wireless shared platform has three aspects: technology, public service and marketing. This research uses two ways to gather related data. 1. Key interview: interviewing professional scholars. 2. Conducting Survey: internet users are the target. - To analyze how to attract citizens to use related policies in order to promote the development of wireless industry. - To expect a fast development with a positive cycle, and upgradethe city¡¦s competitiveness. Conclusion is divided into five parts: 1. Conclusion and basic information from the replied surveys 2. descriptive statistics 3. interceptive analysis 4. elements analysis reports in depth The conclusion has discovered, Regarding to the technological aspect, people will consider three elements when they choose to use wireless internet: the maturity of the wireless technology, the dissemination of wireless internet and the creation of the needs of wireless internet. Aspect of public service: 1. Information related to location 2. Information related to prevention of disasters 3. Involvement of residents 4. Police and Fireman¡¦s Priority 5. Residents hope: Government can prevent crimes or salve disasters by the construction of wireless internet. In the aspect of marketing: Citizens wish to receive different information through wireless internet.

Internet and mobile phones are two of the most popular innovations of information technology in recent times. As the number of Internet and mobile phone users continues to grow, it is expected that mobile services that enable e-commerce would provide new business opportunities constantly. With the expected rapid growth of mobile commerce, factors affecting the adoption of relative technologies have recently turned into a critical topic of business research. / While the final success of 3G networks is still to be determined, GPRS-enabled mobile phones have been publicly available since 2001. In the area of mobile technologies that enable mobile commerce, GRPS is currently the most popular mobile phone service that allows users to execute business transactions through Internet. The innovation of GPRS technology offers mobile services with the advantages of low cost and fast speed, and thus becomes an ideal tool to be used for mobile commerce. Realizing the advantages of GPRS and the importance of relative studies to the mobile industry, this research aimed to address the issues of user acceptance and behavioural intentions on GPRS-enabled mobile phones. / In Taiwan, the penetration rate of mobile phone had reached 114% and made the number one in the world. This high penetration rate made Taiwan a practical site for studying mobile technology acceptance. This research was therefore proposed to be conducted in Taiwan to better understand the user adoption of mobile phones. This study first reviewed the development of mobile technologies as well as the theoretical background for the research. The model of decomposed theory of planned behaviour was then adopted as the research framework based on previous empirical studies of new mobile services. Fourteen hypotheses were developed to address the key research question as to the factors affecting the adoption of GPRS mobile phones in Taiwan. An online questionnaire was implemented for data collection from Internet users. Data analysis followed for hypotheses testing based on structural equation modelling. The study results show that cost and speed, perceived usefulness, image, risk, compatibility, peer influence, self-efficacy, and facilitating conditions are found to significantly influence the adoption intentions of GPRS technology. / This study on the adoption of GPRS technology is important for enterprises that are planning to offer mobile services. The results of this research may offer directions for industrial practitioners in the field to improve the diffusion and acceptance of GPRS. Such research results can also provide knowledge for business executives to better understand the primary concerns of mobile customers and thus develop mobile services and technologies more strategically. Other managerial implications and suggestions for future research are also discussed at the end of this dissertation. / Thesis (DBA(DoctorateofBusinessAdministration))--University of South Australia, 2005.

The revolutionary advances in the wireless communication technologies are inspiring the researchers to envision the next generation wireless networking architectures, i.e., Next Generation Wireless Internet (NGWI), InterPlaNetary (IPN) Internet, and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). There exist significant technological challenges for the realization of these envisioned next generation network architectures. NGWI will be the convergence of the Internet and heterogeneous wireless architectures, which have diverse characteristics and hence pose different sets of research challenges, to achieve anywhere, anytime seamless service to the mobile users. Similarly, the unique characteristics and challenges posed by deep space communications call for novel networking protocols to realize the IPN Internet objective. Furthermore, in order to realize the potential gains of WSN, it is imperative that communication challenges imposed by resource constraints of sensor nodes must be efficiently addressed with novel solutions tailored to the WSN paradigm. The objective of this research is to develop new advanced transport protocols for reliable data transport and real-time multimedia delivery in the next generation heterogeneous wireless network architectures. More specifically, the analytical rate control (ARC) protocol for real-time multimedia delivery is first proposed for wired/wireless hybrid networks. Next, a new rate control scheme (RCS) is proposed to achieve high throughput performance and fairness for real-time multimedia traffic over the satellite links. The unified adaptive transport layer (ATL) suite and its protocols for both reliable data transport (TCP-ATL) and real-time multimedia delivery (RCP-ATL) are introduced for the NGWI. A new reliable transport protocol for data transport in the IPN Internet (TP-Planet) is then proposed to address the unique challenges of the IPN Internet backbone links. A new integrated tranmission protocol (ITP) is then proposed for reliable data transport over multihop IPN Internet paths. Finally, the event-to-sink reliable transport (ESRT) protocol is proposed to achieve reliable event transport with minimum energy expenditure in WSN.
